Objectives
Prerequisite A grade of C or better in Math 107 or equivalent. Grading Policy Your letter grade will be based on your percentage of possible points. A 90 -- 100% C 70 -- 79% B 80 -- 89% D 60 -- 69% Homework: .........................................….150 points Midterm 1: Jan 30.....................…..…......150 points Midterm 2: Feb 25................................…150 points Midterm 3: Mar 21.....................………...150 points Final Exam: Mar 26............................…....400 points Exam Policy Students are to bring calculators, pencils or pens, and paper to each exam. Grading will based on the progress towards the final answer, and the demonstration of understanding of the concept that is being tested, therefore, work must be shown in detail. Any student who cannot make it to an exam may elect to take the exam up to two days before the exam is scheduled. If all homework is completed and no more than three homework assignments are counted late, then the midterm with the lowest score will be dropped. Homework Policy Homework will be turned in by 4:00 PM on the due date. Homework that is turned in within one week of the due date will be counted as half credit. Homework may be turned later than one week after the due date, but points will not be awarded.
