General

Information               Information on texts, materials to be covered, testing, and grading policies can be found in the (thick) departmental syllabus handout for APPM 1313.  A tentative schedule is attached to this sheet.

Tests                          Five one-hour tests will be given during scheduled class time.  There will be no make-up exams for the hour tests.  An optional comprehensive final test will be given the last day of class, Wednesday, 22 July 2009.  The optional final test grade will replace a missed test.  If no test has been missed, the final test grade will replace the lowest grade made on the hour tests.

Homework                 Homework will be collected before each one-hour test.  Homework submitted late will receive 75% of the credit it would have earned if submitted on-time.  Homework will not be accepted more than one week after it is due.

Attendance                Attendance will be recorded at the end of each class.  Regular attendees who actively participate in class discussions will receive special consideration in the event their final averages are slightly below a letter grade cutoff.  For example, regular attendees with 89.5 final averages will often be awarded an “A.”  Those whose attendance is irregular are, unfortunately, most often no longer enrolled in the class at the time final grades are awarded, but in any case, they do not receive special consideration.  (There’s a 33% drop rate in all sections of APPM 1313.  Don’t become a statistic!)

Calculators                 Calculators are not necessary for homework nor to complete test exercises.  Calculators are not permitted on the first three tests, but are permitted on the remaining tests.

End of Semester      To be considered for credit, all work must be submitted to the instructor or to the Science and Math office, SEM 2E6, no later than 5:00 p.m., Friday, 24 July 2009.

Tutoring                     You’ve already paid for tutoring.  It’s available for the asking in the Math Lab.  The hours of operation for the Math Lab are displayed below.
