Grading: The final grade will be based on the following:

• Three midterm exams (100 points each),
• the final exam (150 points), 
• 4 in-class quizzes (15 points each)
• Homework assignements (20 points each) and 

Note: Missed quizzes will not be made up. If you will miss an exam because of a true emergency, let me know as soon as possible. See Alternate Grading Method.

Grading Scale: (Minimum percentages needed to earn the respective letter grade) (May be lowered at the end of the quarter, but will not be raised.)

Alternate Grading Method: This will help you if you miss one exam without an accepted excuse or do very poorly on one exam. It will only be used if it results in a higher grade. Take homework total, quiz total, best two midterms for 200 points and final exam for 150 points. Find percentage out of those points. Subtract 5% penalty for throwing out one exam. If this gives a higher grade, then this method will be used to determine the course grade.

Academic Misconduct: It is the responsibility of the Committee on Academic Misconduct to handle all reported cases of student academic misconduct. The term "academic misconduct" includes all forms of student academic misconduct wherever committed; illustrated by, but not limited to, cases of plagiarism and dishonest practices in connection with examinations. All instances of alleged academic misconduct are reported (by University By-Law) to the committee. For additional information, see the Code of Student Conduct.

Collaboration (getting together with other students to discuss HOW to solve problems) is encouraged. But you must do the work and calculations on your own. Copying any part of someone else's work (on homeworks, quizzes, tests, or exams) and handing it in as your own work is academic misconduct and has serious consequences at this university.

Disability Statement: Students with documented disabilities will be appropriately accommodated for exams. They should inform the instructor as soon as possible of their needs. Students who believe they may have a learning disability should see Marge Hazelett in the Office for Disability Services in the Maynard Hall Services 128 for documentation and assistance.
