Grading

There will be two midterms, one final exam, homework assignments, worksheets and quizzes. The midterms are 25% each, the final is 30%, the homework assignments 10%, the worksheets 5% and the quizzes are 5% of your total grade. Late homework is not accepted. There are no make ups for quizzes or worksheets.

Calculator Policy

On the exams and the quizzes you can use a scientific calculator. It should be non-graphing and not programmable. It should not have any calculus capabilities. Check for buttons with d/dx and the integral sign. Those are not acceptable. I suggest you use the same calculator when you do your homework assignments.
