Grades, test solutions, computer labs, etc.

Grading: The semester grade will be computed from the final exam (25%),
class tests (50%), homework and computer labs (25%). Three 125 point tests
will be given in class. You are encouraged to work together on your homework
assignments, however each individual should prepare the final version.
No late homework will be accepted. Homework may be turned in early.
Grading Scale: A (90% and above)
                          B (80%-89.99%)
                          C (70%-79.99%)
                          D (60%-69.99%)
Readiness Test: Must be between Aug. 23 and Aug. 30 in the Department of Mathematics
Testing Center, PSA21. This is to assess your readiness for the course.
If your score is less than 11/25, you need an advisor?s signature to remainin the course.

Mastery Exam: This consists of problems testing basic skills in differentiation.
A score of at least 85% on one of three attempts will be considered mastery and
will get a student 50/50 points to be added to the test portion of the grade.
It will be given in the Testing Center on 3 successive Mondays and Tuesdays
beginning October 18.
Makeup Tests: Will be given at the discretion of the instructor and only in the case of
verified medical or other emergency. The instructor must be notified before the exam is given.
Call the instructor's office or the Mathematics Department Office (965-3951) and leave a message.
Calculators: A graphing calculator,  TI-86 or 89  is recommended.
Computer Software: The primary computer resource will be the computer algebra system Maple.
This software is installed at all of the computing sites on campus. It may sometimes be purchased
in the computer store at the Computing Commons or at http://www.maplesoft.com/studentorder.html.
A demo version of Maple Release 4 can be downloaded free from http://math.la.asu.edu/~joe/MAPLE.html

Final Exam Policy: The final exam schedule listed in the schedule of classes will be strictly followed.
It is the policy of the Department of Mathematics that makeup exams will only be given
for the following reasons:
(1) Religious conflict (e.g., the student celebrates the Sabbath on Saturday);
(2) The student has more than three exams scheduled on the day that includes the math final;
(3) There is a time conflict between a student's math final and another final exam;
(4) There is a last-minute personal or medical emergency.
The department reserves the right to request written documentation to substantiate any claim of
hardship. In case (4), the student generally is given a mark of Incomplete provided that he or
she has a passing grade going into the final exam and is able to take the final examination
during the following semester. Makeup exams will NOT be given for reasons of non-refundable
airline tickets, vacation plans, work schedules, weddings, family reunions, and other such activities.
Students should consult the final exam schedule before making plans for the end of the semester.

Grade of Incomplete: A grade of incomplete, I, will be given only in the event that a documented
emergency or illness prevents a student who is otherwise doing acceptable work from completing
a small percentage of the course requirements.
