EXAMS : You will be permitted to use a calculator on the exams, but only for arithmetic.  All other work must be done by hand in order to receive credit.  The exams are closed book and closed notes, but you will be provided with a formula sheet to cut back on memorization.

If you NEED to take a makeup exam, you MUST let me know at least a week in advance.  Makeup exams will only be given to students in the cases outlined in the COURSE MAKEUP POLICY.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS

For each assignment, you have the option of either taking a quiz or turning in a written homework assignment.  If you choose to take a quiz, it will be at the end of class on the date indicated, and will consist of a few problems from the suggested list.  If you choose to turn in written homework, you should write up all of the suggested problems for the given sections, and they should be turned in no later than noon on the due date indicated.  Either way, you'll receive a score out of 100, and it will count as your grade for that assignment.  Your two lowest scores will be dropped.  Unclaimed HW/quizzes will be placed in an envelope on my office door.
