Grading:
- A: 85 percent (or better)

- C: 65 percent (or better)
- D: 55 percent (or better)
Policies: Attendance is required and contributes to the final grade. Four classes may be missed without affecting this grade. Absence in more than half of the classes results in failing the whole course.
The daily homework assignment will consist of a reading assignment and a problem assignment. The homework problems and the textbook examples that appear in the reading assignment form the basis for the quiz problems and the test problems.
Every week, there will be a short quiz. No make-up quizzes will be offered. However, the two lowest quiz grades will be dropped.
Eating, drinking, and smoking is not permitted in the classroom. The use of electronic devices such as laptops, i-pods, cellphones, or calculators is not allowed unless explicitly stated by the professor.
Tutoring: Mathematics tutors are available at no charge in the tutoring laboratory in ILB 456.
