Homework and Quiz Policy:  It is vital that you complete and turn in all the homework assignments on time. The homework assignments will be reviewed and returned to you. You can find the list of the required homework exercises for each lecture in the Course Outline section.

Quizzes will be given at the beginning of each lecture. These quizzes will be very similar to the homework due that day and are used to determine if the student has successfully completed the homework assignment and studied the material.

Attendance Policy:  Math 099 meets four times a week; there are three lectures and one recitation hour. Recitation classes provide an additional opportunity for you to seek help with homework and concepts taught in class. Attendance at all classes (both lecture and recitation) 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.

Excused Absences:  In order for an absence to be excused, the student must present documentation (Dr.’s note, court notice, etc.) to the Course Coordinator or to the Math Department Office (to be forwarded to the course coordinator) – within 1 week of  his/her return to class. The documentation will then be evaluated by to the course coordinator and the student will be notified by e-mail as to the disposition of the excused absence request.

MATLAB:  MATLAB is a mathematical software program that is used throughout the science and engineering curricula. Several MATLAB assignments will be given out. These assignments have been designed to help you learn how to use this software in order to visualize many of the concepts taught in class. Each MATLAB assignment will be graded and will be counted as a weekly quiz grade. 

Exams:  There will be three common midterm exams during the semester and one comprehensive final exam during the final exam week. Exams are held on the following days:

Makeup Exam Policy:   There will be No make-up EXAMS or Quizzes 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.
