Course Grading: Quizzes: 17%; Tests 1 and 2: 25% each; Cumulative Final: 33%.
Exam Dates: Test 1 - Wednesday, June 6; Test 2 - Thursday, June 21; Final Exam - Monday, July 2.
Attendance Policy: More than 4 absences during the semester will result in your grade being lowered by 1 notch, e.g., from B to B-, and for every increment of 4 classes or a portion thereof that you miss the grade will be additionally lowered. Attendance will be taken every day. Punctuality is very important, if the student is late for class he/she will not be able to sign in the attendance sheet, even if he/she is one minute late.
Make up Policy: No make ups for missed quizzes. When computing your overall quiz average, the lowest quiz score for the quizzes given before Midterm 2 will be dropped. If you miss a quiz, it will count as a zero and you should count that as the score you drop. No make up Midterms will be given except under extraordinary circumstances with DOCUMENTED emergencies. In those cases the student is supposed to contact the instructor ASAP.
Letter Grades: 93-100 A, 90-92 A-, 87-89 B+, 83-86 B, 80-82 B-, 77-79 C+, 73-76 C, 70-72 C-, 65-69 D+, 55-64 D, 50-54 D-, 0-49 F.
Calculator Policy: Scientific calculators ONLY will be allowed. No programmable calculators, including graphing and cell phone calculators, will be allowed.
Free Tutoring: Free one-on-one tutoring is available throughout the semester at the MSRC located at 1810 Liacouras Walk, 2nd Floor. See www.temple.edu/msrc for more information.

Any student who has a need for accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me privately to discuss the specific situation as soon as possible. Contact Disability Resources and Services at (215) 204-1280, 100 Ritter Annex, to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.

Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The University has adopted a policy on Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities (Policy # 03.70.02) which can be accessed here.

Students will be charged for a course unless a withdrawal form is processed by a registration office of the University by the Drop/Add deadline date given below. For this semester, the crucial dates are as follows:

• The first day of classes is Monday, May 21.
• The last day to drop/add (tuition refund available) is Monday, June 4.
• The last day to withdraw (no refund) is Monday, June 18.
• The last day of classes is Monday, July 2.

During the first two weeks of the fall or spring semester or summer sessions, students may withdraw from a course with no record of the class appearing on the transcript. In weeks three through nine of the fall or spring semester, or during weeks three and four of summer sessions, the student may withdraw with the advisor's permission. The course will be recorded on the transcript with the instructor's notation of "W," indicating that the student withdrew. After week nine of the fall or spring semester, or week four of summer sessions, students may not withdraw from courses. No student may withdraw from more than five courses during the duration of his/her studies to earn a bachelor's degree. A student may not withdraw from the same course more than once. Students who miss the final exam and do not make alternative arrangements before the grades are turned in will be graded F.

The grade I (an "incomplete") is reserved for extreme circumstances. It is necessary to have completed almost all of the course with a passing average and to file an incomplete contract specifying what is left for you to do. To be eligible for an I grade you need a good reason and you should have missed not more than 25% of the first nine weeks of classes. If approved by the Mathematics Department chair and the CST Dean's office, the incomplete contract must include a default grade that will be used in case the I grade is not resolved within 12 months.
