Calculators:

Midterm 20%

Final Exam 25%
(April 25, 8am-10am)
(Note: There will be 3
midterms on 02/06,
03/07,
and 04/11.
Your lowest midterm score will count for 10% of your grade and your
top two midterm scores will count for 20% of your final grade.)
Letter grades will be assigned based on the following scale:
93-100 = A , 90-93 = A-,
85-90 = B+, 80-85 = B, 75-80 = B-,
70-75 = C+, 65-70 = C, 60-65 = C-,
55-60 = D+, 50-55 = D,
< 50 = E
Weekly
Homework:
I will collect homework on the first class of each week. All of the homework assigned the previous week is due at that time.
For each section of homework, I reserve the right to pick problems for grading. Each section of homework will be worth 20 points. For example, if you have two sections of homework assigned for one week, then that homework set is worth a total of 40 points.
You will get an extra 10 points if you DO every problem. I encourage discussion and study groups for the homework. However, make sure to turn in you own write up of the solutions. It is your responsibility to make sure you understand the problems and their solutions. This is basically motivation for you to do the homework because that is the only way to survive a math class.
The homework Must be stapled together when turned in.
I won't accept late homework.
I only collect homework before the lecture begin on the first class of the week!!!
I will drop your two lowest homework scores.
You are responsible for
knowing these policies. Please take it seriously because no
exception will be made.
Other Policies: regarding exams
and classroom environment.
There will be no retakes of exams…ever. Your score is what you get.
You can only take an alternate exam if you talk to me about it first and explain the extenuating circumstances that make it necessary. Needing to work, babysitting your siblings, oversleeping, or needing more time to study DO NOT pass as acceptable reasons. It is your total responsibility to communicate with me as soon as possible, before the exam occurs. Talking to me after the exam will be sufficient reason for me to allow you to get a zero on that exam. I reserve the right to make alternate exams more difficult than the scheduled exam.
I strongly encourage asking and answering questions about the material covered in class. Please, be respectful of your classmates' questions and answers.
Cell Phones & Pagers: Noise pollution during class is a growing problem and is very disruptive and disrespectful to both me and your classmates. Please be sure to turn your devices to silent when in the classroom.
Please check the course webpage regularly. I will post new announcements and messages on the webpage and count on your responsibility to get them.
Students with Disabilities: The University of Utah seeks to provide equal access to its programs, services, and activities for people with disabilities. If you will need accommodations in this class, reasonable prior notice needs to be given to the instructor and to the Center for Disability Services, 162 Olpin Union Building, 581-5020 (V/TDD) to make arrangements for accommodations.
