Course Objectives
Exam Policy Students are to bring calculators, pencils or pens, and paper to each exam. Grading will based on the progress towards the final answer, and the demonstration of understanding of the concept that is being tested, therefore, work must be shown in detail. Any student who cannot make it to an exam may elect to take the exam up to two days before the exam is scheduled. If all homework is completed and no more than three homework assignments are scored five or less, then the midterm with the lowest score will be dropped. Homework Policy Homework is due each day in class after the homework Q&A time. Homework that is turned in within one week of the due date will be counted as half credit. Homework may be turned later than one week after the due date, but points will not be awarded. Learning Disabilities If you have a learning disability, be sure to discuss it with Larry. Learning disabilities will be accommodated. A Word on Honesty: Cheating or copying will not be tolerated. People who cheat dilute the honest effort of the rest of us. If you cheat on a quiz or exam you will receive an F for the course, not merely for the test. Other college disciplinary action including expulsion might occur. Please don’t cheat in this class. If you are having difficulty with the course, please see me.
