Grading Policy

• Four 45 minute exams.
• One comprehensive final exam..
• The lowest 45 minute exam will be dropped. An
  absence at a 45 minute exam counts as the dropped
  exam. There will be no make up exams.
• Each of the exams will likely include at least
  one problem from the homework assignment. Exams
  2- 4 will likely contain one review question from
  the previous test

6
Attendance Homework

• Attendance is expected, but not officially
  monitored for grading purposes.
• Homework problems are assigned, but not
  collected.
• Actively working on the homework problems allows
  you to test whether you understand the material
  and serves as a review guide for the exams.

Keys to Success
