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, Tuesday, 11 May 2010. 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 or 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 5:30 p.m.,
Friday, 14 May 2010.
Tutoring You’ve
already paid for tutoring. It’s
available for the asking in the Math Lab.
