¤     Quiz Policy:  Quizzes will be given at the beginning of the 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:  This section meet four times a week. Attendance of all classes is mandatory and will be recorded . More than TWO absences in the course will result in withdrawing a student from the course. Please make sure you read and fully understand the Department’s Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced. Two late arrivals will count as one absence.

¤     Exams:  There will be two midterm exams given during the semester and one final exam. Exams will be held on the following days:

Midterm Exam I:

July 21, 2008

Monday

Midterm Exam II:

August 4, 2008

Monday

Final Exam

August 21, 2008

Thursday

The final exam will will test your knowledge of all the course material taught in the entire course.  Make sure you read and fully understand the department's Examination Policy.  This policy will be strictly enforced. Please note that calculators, cellular phones, beepers, and all other electronic devices may not be used during any exam. There will be NO MAKE-UP EXAMS.
 

¤     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.
