Grading: Exams--Each exam will count 100 points. There will be no make-up exams but one exam may be re-taken at the end of the semester. If an exam is missed, that will be the exam "re-taken" at the end of the semester. Exam 1: Sections 1.1 - 1.7 Exam 2: Sections 2.1 - 2.8 Exam 3: Sections 3.1 - 3.4, 3.6 Exam 4: Sections 4.1 - 4.5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.5 (Chapter 5 portion take-home) Homework: Homework should be done and maintained in a notebook whether it is going to be turned in or not. I might occasionally satisfy my curiosity by looking at your homework. Students on the borderline between two grades at the end of the term may have their grade determined (up or down) by the quality of the homework in their notebook. You may choose to turn in homework on each exam date and compile a homework grade worth 16% of your grade. You may choose to turn in a selected portion of the homework in a written form or to turn in homework online through MyMathLab. I will explain this in more detail in class. I will not count your homework grade unless it helps you. Extra Credit: Extra points can be earned by doing selected extra credit problems. You can seek help in doing extra credit problems but you should understand what you have done before turning in an extra credit problem. You may be asked to come to my office to explain to me your solution to an extra credit problem. All extra credit must be turned in before the last day of class. Attendance: SCC has a stated policy that a student may be withdrawn from a class by the instructor if he/she misses more than 10% of the classes. Although I do not go to this extreme, I will not award credit for a course if the student does not attend class regularly. You may choose to have an attendance grade that will count as 10% of your grade. If you do then your attendance grade will be computed from the percent of classes fully attended (arrived on time and did not leave early). Withdrawal Policy: You need to withdraw yourself before the withdrawal deadline if you do not wish to receive a grade for the course.
If fire, weather, or any other circumstance occurs that might lead to a cancellation of classes, call the following number to find out whether or not the college has closed. 407-708-4722
This syllabus is subject to such changes as the instructor may deem necessary and will announce in class. You are responsible for any changes announced in class. |
