Calculator: We require the use of a graphing calculator. The prefered model is a TI-83, TI-83+,TI84, TI-86 or TI-89. We will furnish information about the use of these calculators. You will not be allowed to use calculators on hour exams and the final.
Group Work: You will be asked to form groups of three or four. On the days noted on the syllabus, these groups will spend most of the period working together on worksheets. These will be handed in and graded.
Exams and Quizzes: There will be four hour exams; on September 22, October 13, November 9 and December 7 and a Final Exam on December 14. In addition there will be 10 ten minute quizzes. The dates are noted on the syllabus. Make-ups for hour exams will be given only upon presentation of an acceptable excuse. No make-ups for quizzes will be given.
Homework: There is a homework assignment almost every day as given in the syllabus. The first 10 minutes of each class is set aside for the discussion of homework. Students are responsible for all homework problems.
Grading: The lowest two quiz grades will be dropped and the rest will count as one hour exam. The final will count as two hour exams. The worksheets will count as .5 hour exam. Grading is on the scale 90-100 = A, 80-89=B, 70-79 = C, 60-69 = D, < 60 = F. However, grades may be adjusted upwards on the basis of (a) improvement over the semester, or (b) an exceptionally good final examination.
