Grading Policy

There will be 3 exams given in class. Each exam counts as one score. A missed exam gives a score of zero and there are no makeup exams --- although, under extreme (and well documented) circumstances, it may be possible to make arrangements to take a test in advance.

There will be approximately 12 online homework assignments using WebWork. The homework will count as 1 score.

There will be approximately 10 in class short quizzes. The quizzes will count as 1 score.

The final exam will count for 2 more scores. This final is a comprehensive final.

After the final you will have 7 scores. Your final grade for the course will be determined by the average of your best 5 of these 7 scores.
