Course Information and Policies:

• Attendance: Students are expected to attend every scheduled class, and to be familiar with the University Class Attendance policy as it appears in the General Catalog. It is the student's responsibility to keep informed of any announcements, syllabus adjustments or policy changes made during scheduled classes. Students who are excessively absent may be "administratively dropped" from the course to make room for other students trying to get in. "Excessively" means 2 days in a row or any 4 days during the semester.

• Text: "Calculus (2nd Edition)" by Hughes Hallet, Gleason, et. al. Wiley: 1998.
• Calculators: Every student must have (and know how to use!) a programmable graphing calculator. Calculators will be allowed on exams, but no calculator swapping is permitted.

• Exams: There will be three tests and a final exam. The tests are scheduled for Monday, Sept. 11, Wednesday, Oct. 11, and Friday, Nov. 3. The University has scheduled the final exam for Friday, Dec. 8 from 5:00 - 7:00. Each exam is worth 100 points and the final exam is worth 200 points.
  Exams cannot be given at any other time. If, for whatever reason, a test is missed, the score for that test will be replaced with the score on the corresponding part of the final exam. A second missed test, or a missed final exam, will result in a score of 0.
• Homework: Homework, an essential component of the course, will be assigned and collected regularly. Selected problems will be graded and a final score equivalent to one test, 100 points, will be assigned.
  For full credit, homework must be turned in at the beginning of class on the day it is due. Late homework will be accepted for grading until the beginning of the next class meeting, but will earn only 50% credit. Homework turned in later may be graded but will earn no points. The lowest 2 homework scores will be thrown out before calculating the final homework score.
• Quizes: There may be occasional, unannounced quizes on basic material. Points for these quizes are "bonus" points, counted above and beyond the points for other course work. Coming to class and taking these quizes is thus always to the student's advantage.

• Grades: The total number of points possible on tests and homework is 600. Grades will be based on the percentage of points earned, and will be no lower than those set forth in the following table:

  Points	Percentage	Grade
  540-600	90% to 100%	A
  480-539	80% to 90%	B
  420-479	70% to 80%	C
  360-419	60% to 70%	D
  0-359	0% to 60%	E

• W's and I's: Students withdrawing from the course before October 13 will receive the grade W if they are passing at the time. Students will be considered to be passing at the time of withdraw if they have scored at least 50% on the work completed at that time.
  The grade of I will be awarded only if all the following conditions are met:
  1. The student has completed all but a small portion of the required work.
  2. The student has scored at least 50% on the work completed.
  3. The student has a valid reason for not completing the course on time.
  4. The student agrees to make up the material in a short period of time.
  5. The student asks for the incomplete before the final exam.
