Comprehensive Final Exam - 40%

There will be no make up exams. There will be both announced and unannounced quizzes, both in class and take home. There will be no make-up quizzes and late work will not be accepted. Each quiz will receive a check for being turned in, as long as there is evidence of substantial effort. If a quiz is outstanding it will receive a check plus. If a quiz shows significant confusion or many errors, it will receive a check minus. The quiz grade will be the percentage of quizzes turned in. Periodically, there will be a bonus quiz, which can be substituted for a missing quiz; missing a bonus quiz will not diminish your total quiz grade. Homework will be assigned, but will not be collected. However, homework problems will form the major source of quiz problems and will be a guide to the exams. If your final exam score is higher than the lower of your exam 1 and exam 2 scores, then it will be substituted for the low score. If your final course grade is on the border between two grades, then your performance on quizzes, your participation in class, and your improvement during the course will be considered; that is, a demonstration of consistent progress and general understanding of mathematical ideas may raise your grade.

The grading scale for the total quiz grade, midterm exam 1, midterm exam 2,  final exam, and course grade will be:
A: 90-100 B: 80-89 C: 70-79 D: 60-69 F: 0-59
If you wish to receive a "W", you must notify your professor or the registrar by the withdrawal date; no reason is necessary. After that date, in order to receive a "W", you must have a good reason, which is documented. If you begin the class and you stop attending class without notifying the registrar or your professor, you will receive an "F".
