Makeup exams: Makeup exams will not be given unless the absence is due to verifiable circumstances beyond the student's control.
Attendance: you are expected to be in class each day, and you are required to be present at each test and examination. Poor attendance may affect your grade.
Notes: You are expected to take notes in class. We may cover some material in class that is not in the book. We may sometimes present the material in class in a different way than is in the book. You are responsible for the material presented in class as well as the material in the text.
Clarity of thought and coherent expression of that thought should be your goal. Precision and logical correctness are required. Spare elegance is highly prized in mathematical exposition. Long, muddy essays are discouraged.
Assignments more than a week late will not be acccepted, and late assignments will have points deducted for tardiness.
The mid term will count as 25% of your grade, and the final will count as 37% of your grade.
Good attendance and a record of improving scores may positively affect the grades of people in borderline situations.
