Grading: There will be two semester tests and the Final Exam. The break up of your course grade is as follows:
Tests 1 and 2 40% (20% each)
Homework 20%
Final Exam 40%
Your grade will be determined according to the scale
A 90-100
B 80-89
C 70-79
D 60-69
F 59 and lower
Note that the above numbers are percentages of the highest possible score in the course.

Attendance is mandatory in this class.

Homework will be given online via the Maple TA system. It is required that you complete all homework and write down all complete solutions, in addition to submitting it through the Maple TA computer system. Your written solutions to selected assignments will be collected and graded. You must complete each homework assignment within one week after we covered the sections involved. Late work will not be accepted.

MLRC stands for the Mathematics Learning Resource Center located on the 4th floor of classroom building. There you can receive tutoring help, as well as Maple TA assistance. Use MLRC services as much as you can.

Recommended Learning Method:

Make-up Exams are given only in cases of serious illness or extreme emergency that prevents you from taking a test at the specified time. You have to contact me before the test and communicate all circumstances. Furthermore, you must appear in person, with supporting documents, to discuss the situation as soon as possible.

Calculator: You need a scientific calculator with trigonometric functions and their inverses for everyday study in this course. A graphing calculator is not required, but may be used at your preference. You can check out TI-83 or TI-83 Plus from the Department of Mathematics (MSCS 401) free of charge. However, no calculator is allowed on examinations.

University Syllabus Attachment: Contains drop deadlines and procedures, as well as many other important dates and university policies.
