Attendance:
Every session will be of great importance to your learning this course. However, if it is necessary to miss any class period(s), you will be responsible for any announcements made, sections covered, and assignments dropped off during your absence.
Regular attendance is essential for success in this class
Grading scale:
100%-90% = 4.0 74%-70% = 2.0
89%-85% = 3.5 69%-65% =1.5
84%-80% = 3.0 64%-60% =1.0
79%-75% = 2.5 below 0.0
Distribution of grades:
Participation 4%
Homework/in-class work 16%
Tests (4) 80%
Total 100%
Participation
Students should participate in homework discussion. Students may be asked at times to put solutions on the board from assigned homework problems.
Homework
Homework will be assigned daily and collected periodically during the course of the semester at the beginning of class (turn in assignment during class). Any problems encountered may be discussed in the class. Homework should be stapled and neat (answers circle when possible).
Late assignments will not be accepted
In-class work
Assignments that are assigned in class will count towards the homework grade.
Tests
Tests will be given about every 3 to 4 weeks. Unexcused or missed test will be counted as a ZERO. The Tests will cover only those sections that were covered during the course. Each test will cover about an hour and a half of a class period. (Take advance of each test)
Academic Dishonesty
Any use of form of unauthorized aid or obtaining any help from another individual during test is considered cheating. Any student caught cheating on a test will automatically receive a ZERO for the test. A formal report will be filed. Dishonesty in academic work is considered a serious offense by the College Community.
