WF = withdrawal after 2/18/2022 (WF = F)
Note: Students who are failing should consider withdrawing officially before 2/18/2022 to avoid an F or WF.
Exams (50% of grade):
There will be 4 exams + a final exam. The lowest of the 4 exam grades will be dropped. Exams will last for the entire period and will start at the beginning of the period. No extra time is given for students who arrive late. Exam dates are: 2/23, 3/18, 4/11 and 5/13.
Final Exam (30% of grade):
A full period final examination is given the last class meeting of the semester. It covers all topics studied. It must be taken to pass the course.
Make-up Exam Policy: There will be no ‘make–up’ exams. Unless a valid excuse (medical or family emergencies, college related travel such as athletic or academic competitions) is presented in advance, a missed exam will receive the score 0. Students must look at this syllabus carefully and plan well ahead: personal travel is NOT a valid excuse. No extra time will be given for students who arrive late. No student will be allowed to take the final exam early.
Homework (20% of grade): Homework will be assigned via WeBWorK and open source, online homework system.

Students who miss a class meeting should obtain all the information for that meeting. Active participation in class will be also taken into consideration while computing the final grade.
