Chapter 1: Sections 1-5
Chapter 2: Sections 1-2

Attendance: You
are expected to attend all meetings of the class, and complete all homework
assignments. If you must miss a class, plan to get notes for that day from a
classmate.
Evaluation: There
will be two hour exams, each worth 100 points, five announced quizzes, each
worth 25 points for a total of 100 points (the lowest quiz score will be
dropped), and a Final exam worth 200 points. That’s a total of 500 points for
the course.
Your total points will be
converted into a percentage and your grade will be determined by the following
grading scale:
90 – 100 % 4.0 65
– 72 % 2.0
85 – 89 % 3.5 60
– 64 % 1.5
79 – 84 % 3.0 55
– 59 % 1.0
73 – 78 % 2.5 0 – 54 % 0.0
Note: Missing
an exam without an advance valid excuse presented to the Instructor will result
in a score of 0 points. No make-ups are given. Commercial travel schedules are
not excuses. There will be no make-up or excused Quizzes. Dropping the lowest
Quiz score will accommodate those who for some reason must miss a Quiz.
All students are expected to
adhere to the University’s policy concerning academic integrity. It is covered
in the Spartan Life booklet under General Student Regulations. According to the handbook, “…no student shall
claim or submit the work of another as one’s own.” For more information about
this and other scholarship issues, please consult the handbook or visit the
