Please note that I will assign homework each week to further your
understanding. These will not be collected or graded. Some problems
assigned may appear on exams. Answers to homework can be found at

And download the zip file with solutions to solved problems.
I will also provide some sample questions prior to each of the three in-
class exams. I will hold one review session outside of class hours (to be
announced) to go over the exam and prepare you. Often 5-6 pm works.
I hope that we can start each exam – if agreed – a few minutes early to
provide more time. There is no class right after us so if possible and
agreeable, we could expand the exam time by 10 minutes to give more
time. We will discuss this possibility. The Final Exam is cumulative.
Course Policies
The class grade is determined as follows:
Exam 1 25%
Exam 2 25%
Exam 3 25%
Final Exam 25%
Grading (credit) Two In-class Exams taken 50% in total (25% each)
Criteria Final Exam 50%
If you miss two in-class exams, then the Final Exam will count 75% and
the one in-class exam will be worth 25%. If you miss all three in-class
exam, then the Final Exam will count 100%. Be forewarned: past
experience indicates that students who take more exams tend to do
better. I cannot emphasize this enough.
Students missing no more than one class within the weeks prior to each
exam will have five points added to their exam score. (Remember, no
excuses are accepted for missing a class. You are given one free miss per test
Extra Credit
period.) Also, you must be in your seat within 5 minutes of the start of class
– coming in 6 minutes late, or leaving early will not qualify as an attendance
for extra credit. If you start the semester late, then the classes missed will be
counted as absences for attendance
