Policies

DMS Course Policies: All DMS students must familiarize themselves with, and adhere to, the Department of Mathematical Sciences Course Policies, in addition to official university-wide policies. DMS takes these policies very seriously and enforces them strictly.

Grading Policy: The final grade in this course will be determined as follows:

Homework and Quizzes 14%
Common Midterm Exam I 19%
Common Midterm Exam II 19%
Common Midterm Exam III 19%
Final Exam 29%

Your final letter grade will be based on the following tentative curve.

A 88 - 100 C 65 - 71
B+ 83 - 87 D 60 - 64
B 77 - 82 F 0 - 59
C+ 72 - 76

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

Homework Policy: The homework assignments are in the syllabus and online. In order to do the assignments you need to have a student access code. You can get an access code with a new book purchase that is bundled with My MathLab or by buying the code separately at the campus bookstore. If you buy a new book from another source make sure it is bundled with My MathLab. In addition on the first day of class your course instructor will give you an additional code needed to access the homework assignments.

Quiz Policy: At least one quiz based on the homework problems will be given each week online or in class. There will be a short quiz every week on the material covered during the previous week. All of the quizzes will be graded. The homework and quizzes are intended to develop your problem-solving skills and to prepare you for the exams. The quiz and homework grades will be a significant component of your course grade.

How to Get Started with MyMathLab:

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

Common Midterm Exam I September 26, 2018
Common Midterm Exam II October 24, 2018
Common Midterm Exam III November 28, 2018
Final Exam Period December 15 - 21, 2018

The time of the midterm exams is 4:15-5:40 pm for daytime students and 5:45-7:10 pm for evening students. The final exam will test your knowledge of all the course material taught in the entire course. Make sure you read and fully understand the Math Department's Examination Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.

Makeup Exam Policy: To properly report your absence from a midterm or final exam, please review and follow the required steps under the DMS Examination Policy found here:

Cellular Phones: All cellular phones and other electronic devices must be switched off and put away during all class times.
