If you have a documented disability that may require assistance, you will need to go to the Disability Resource Center (DRC) for coordination in your
academic accommodations. The DRC is located in the Reynolds Student Services Center Room 137. The DRC phone number is 895-0866.
The final grade will be based on the performance in the final exam (40%), three midterm exams E1-E3 (15% each) and quizzes (15%), all of which are mandatory.
Grading scale (subject to change): A (100%-90%), B (89%-79%), C (78%-68%), D (67%-57%), F (56%-0%). Absence from an examination or quizz will result in an
assignment of zero points unless prior consent by the instructor has been given or in the case of a documented emergency. No make up exams are given unless
special arrangements are made before the exam and the absence is unavoidable. Students have to be on time, since quizzes will take place at the beginning of
a lecture without prior announcement. Exams are closed book, closed notes, no calculator allowed unless adviced otherwise by the instructor. Cheating in an
exam or quizz will result of an assignment of zero points for that exam or quizz.
The following schedule shows the dates of exams (E) and reading assignments (R). R numbers refer to the corresponding chapters in the textbook (see above).
Homework will be assigned during the lecture.
