Homework Policies
|
|
|
|
The weekly homework assignments will be
collected in the section meetings. Late homework will not be accepted for any reason.
Missing homework counts as a 0. The lowest homework
score will be dropped. |
|
|
Homework assignments will be posted on the course
web page at least a week before they are due. Since the purpose of the homework is to gain better
understanding of the material, students may discuss the homework problems
with each other and get help from others, but must write up their homework
solutions on their own. Copying
another student’s homework is a violation of academic integrity. |
|
Exams |
|
|
Absences |
There will be no make-up exams. For excused
absences, the grade for a missed exam will be a weighted average of
subsequent exam grades. Unexcused absences count as a 0. Documentation of
illness, etc., must be obtained from the Office of Academic Advising. |
|
Exam Dates |
There will be two exams in class, one on Monday,
October 7, and one on Monday,
November 11. There will also be a
final exam on Wednesday, December 18,
2:00-5:00 pm. The first exam is scheduled
so that the grades will be available in advance of the drop date. |
|
Grading Policies

Any request for a grade change on a midterm exam or
homework must be submitted within one week from the time the papers are first
handed back to students. |
