Course Syllabus

HOMEWORK  POLICY: The underlined problems are for you to turn in to me during class on the due date given.  From the remaining problems, we will have a quiz at the end of class on the day the assignment is due.  The quiz will be open notes/book, so you may choose to do all of the problems for homework, and then just turn them all in at quiz time.  If you miss class on the day of a quiz, you cannot take a makeup quiz; instead you must complete all HW problems (not just the underlined ones) from that section to receive credit.

EXAMS - Please notify me in advance if you cannot make the exam

• MIDTERM EXAM: Tuesday, June 22 in class
• FINAL EXAM: Thursday, July 8 in class
  • The exam is CUMULATIVE, but will heavily stress chapters 4-7.
  • You should bring a pencil or pen
  • You may bring a notecard for formulas.  You may use either a 3X5 card (both sides) or a half sheet of letter paper (one side ONLY).  All other types will be confiscated.
  • You should bring a calculator.  However, you will be expected to show work, so you may NOT use your calculator to automatically calculate mean, median, variance, std. dev, r or the least squares line.  The calculator is only there for you to do calculations, so you should only use it to do so.  Answers without justification will receive little or no credit.
  • You will have unlimited time to do the exam.
