Course Description

We are supposed to cover Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 of the textbook. We shall move at a relatively brisk pace, so try not to fall behind; it may be hard to catch up.

Grading for the course will be based on three in class exams, a final exam, homework, and occasional quizzes. Homework will be assigned each Friday and be due on the next Friday. Quizzes will be given with or without prior warning and their grades will be averaged with the homework grade. The lowest quiz/homework grades will be dropped; how many get dropped will depend on the total number of homeworks/quizzes, a number that won't be known before the end of the semester, The homework/quizz grade will account for 15% of the final grade.
For the remaining 85% of your grade, two options will be available:

  1. 60% based on the three in class exams (20% each) and 25% on the final exam.
  2. The lowest of the in class exams gets dropped, 40% of the grade is based on the remaining two (20% each) and 45% on the final exam.
There is one and only one way to make up for missed exams or low scores: Doing very well on the final exam.

No other make-ups will be given.
