e-mail: miller (at) math.utah.edu
phone: 801-581-8340
office: Room 318 LCB
office hours: Monday - 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Wednesday 11:00  a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

EXAM POLICY: There will be four exams and one comprehensive final. The lowest exam grade will be dropped, but it is highly advised that you take all exams. Since one exam grade is dropped, no make-up exams will be given except for extraordinary circumstances (i.e. medical reasons with a note from a doctor, etc.) If you miss a test by accident, work schedule conflicts, travel plans, etc. that test must be used as the one which is dropped.

Each exam will be 50 minutes long. A calculator and the text book will be allowed during the exam. No notes may be used.

HOMEWORK POLICY: Homeworks will be due in class every Wednesday morning. 10% per day will be deducted from late homework scores.

LAB ASSIGNMENTS: If you miss a computer lab (for a good reason), that lab assignment will be dropped from your grade. Otherwise, the assignment can be downloaded off the website and done on your own time. This is NOT recommended as you will not have the assistance of the TA.

FINAL GRADES:
3 Exams*: 15 % each (45% total)
Homeworks: 15%
Lab Assignments: 15%
Final: 25%
*4 exams will be given, but the lowest score will be dropped.
