Homework: The best way to master the material is through practice. Homework problems will be assigned each class for you to work on.

A full list of homework problems for the semester can be found on our Canvas page. The homework will be randomly collected and checked for completion via Canvas.
Quizzes: There will usually two 25-30 minute quiz every week. Each quiz will consist of 4-5 problems similar to the ones assigned from the textbook. There will be no make up quizzes. However, when calculating your quiz average, the lowest quiz score will be dropped.
Calculator Policy: No calculator or cheat sheets will be allowed on any exams or quizzes.
Make Up Policy: There are no make ups available for online tests.
Exam Security Policy: We have a zero tolerance policy for cheating on the tests and quizzes.

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 dropped by the Drop/Add deadline date. Check the University calendar for exact dates.
During the Drop/Add period, students may drop a course with no record of the class appearing on their transcript. Students are not financially responsible for any courses dropped during this period. In the following weeks prior to or on the withdrawal date students may withdraw from a course with the grade of "W" appearing on their transcript. After the withdrawal date students may not withdraw from courses. Check the University Calendar (Opens in new tab/window) for exact dates. See the full policy by clicking here.

The grade "I" (an "incomplete") is only given if students cannot complete the course work due to circumstances beyond their control. It is necessary for the student to have completed the majority of the course work with a passing average and to sign an incomplete contract which clearly states what is left for the student to do and the deadline by which the work must be completed. The incomplete contract must also include a default grade that will be used in case the "I" grade is not resolved by the agreed deadline. See the full policy by clicking here.
