Drop Date:  Please note that the University Drop Date November 6, 2012 deadline will be strictly enforced.

Homework Policy:  It is vital that you complete all of the homework assignments by the specified dates.

MATLAB:  MATLAB is a mathematical software program that is used throughout the science and engineering curricula.

Attendance:  Attendance at all classes will be recorded and is mandatory. Please make sure you read and fully understand the Department’s Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.

Exams:  There will be two midterm exams and one comprehensive final exam during the semester. Exams are held in class on the following days:

Midterm Exam 1:

October 12, 2012

Midterm Exam 2:

November 16, 2012

Final Exam Week:

December 14-20, 2012

 

Makeup Exam Policy:  There will be No make-up EXAMS during the semester. In the event the Final Exam is not taken, under rare circumstances where the student has a legitimate reason for missing the final exam, a makeup exam will be administered by the math department. In any case the student must notify the Math Department Office and the Instructor that the exam will be missed and present written verifiable proof of the reason for missing the exam, e.g., a doctors note, police report, court notice, etc., clearly stating the date AND time of the mitigating problem.

Further Assistance:  For further questions, students should contact their Instructor. All Instructors have regular office hours during the week. These office hours are listed at the link above by clicking on the Instructor’s name. Teaching Assistants are also available in the math learning center.

Cellular Phones:  All cellular phones and beepers must be switched off during all class times.
