Prerequisites

Minimum Requirments:
Attendance Perfect attendance is required of every student. You are expected to be in class daily on time and remain through the duration of class. Call every time you miss class. Two consecutive absences may constitute dismissal from class. In the event you decide to withdraw from the course, it is your sole responsibility to fill out a drop sheet and submit it to the records office.
Test performance
Satisfactory performance on tests and the final exam are necessary for passing the course.
Homework:
Homework is an integral part of the course and should be treated accordingly. It is very unlikely for most students to succeed in this class without completing all homework assignments on time. Homework for every section we cover is due the following class meeting. Bring completed homework with you to every class meeting since it can be collected at any time. Text book exercises will definitely be collected on test days. If you can not make it to class on an assignment due date, the assignment is due on the last day you attend. No late homework will be accepted. Home work is worth 50 points.
Testing:
We are going to have 4 tests and a final exam and weekly quizzes. The tests are worth 50 points each, the final exam counts for 100 points, and the quizzes are worth 50 points total. There will be no make up exams or quizzes. The final exam will be comprehensive and mandatory. All tests and quizzes will be announced at least two days in advance. The final exam is on Wednesday, Dec 9, 1:45PM-3:45PM.
Materials:
The required text mentioned above, hand held calculator, lose paper, pencils and a ruler are required course materials.

Grading
The course grade is based on the fixed scale below. Grades aren’t given to you, they are earned by your desire and willingness to be consistent, persistent and hardworking . There are three components to the total grade in this course, in-class tests and quizzes, homework, attendance, and a final exam.
Grade Scale Letter garde Range

How am I doing in this class?
The best indicator or predictor of your course grade is your test scores. Add up all your exam scores then divide by the number of exams and multiply the result by 100 to obtain your percent score, then use the grade scale above to determine your letter grade.
