Grades:
3 Tests: 25% each.
Homework and in-class quizzes: 25%
Homework:
Homework will be assigned in class and should be completed before the next class
period. We will review homework in class. Periodically I will collect homework which
will be graded and count as part of the final class grade.
If you are not in class the day I collect homework or give a quiz, your grade will be a
zero for that assignment or quiz.
Note:
*** In-class quizzes and homework will not be made-up. The lowest grade in quizzes or
homework will be dropped.
*** If I am not contacted prior to exam time and you are absent for an exam, your score
for that exam will be a zero. The only accepted excuses will be participation in a UWO
sanctioned event, or illness. For both proof will be required.
