Grading: Grades will be an average of homework, projects and in class exams. Final grades will be assigned according to the average as:
Attendance Policy:
Attendance is at your discretion. However, you are responsible
for
what is
covered in class, which at times will be quite different from the
text.
Homework:
Homework problems will be of two types: 1) Suggested problems for
the purpose of assisting you in mastering the material and for
preparing for exams. These will not be collected and
graded. 2) Problems that will be collected and
graded.
Academic integrity:
Homework or projects may be group or individual. On individual
work, you are expected and encouraged to discuss problems with others.
However,
the work you turn in must be completely your own. Sharing or copying
will be
penalized. For group work, one solution should be turned in
representing the combined efforts of the group.
Due dates/Makeup exams
If you are unable to take an exam due to an excused absence, you
must contact me prior
to the exam time and furnish the proper written verification of the
absence as defined by the MU
undergraduate catalog in order to take a
make-up exam. Excused absences, as defined by the MU
undergraduate
catalog, fall into three categories: (1) university sponsored
activities; (2) absences as a result of illness or death in the family;
(3) absences resulting from major religious holidays. Consult the
catalog for details. Extensions for homework and projects must be made
in advance of the due date.
Documented learning disabilities:
Accomodations will be made to assist students with documented learning
disabilities. Students should make arrangements with the Help
center
to provide the instructor with a notice of accomodation.
