Please check with me before driving a long distance to meet. We are fortunate to have two undergraduate Teaching Assistants who be involved in the course in a variety of ways including having office hours, holding study sessions, and being available outside of class via e-mail. To be successful in this course, you will need to be an active learner. This means participating in class discussions, taking accurate and complete notes, reading the text attentively, reviewing your notes before the next class, and taking advantage of the CD-ROM, which accompanies your text. Class participation is very important for extending your learning and helping me meet your needs.
All material covered in class and assigned in the text are fair game for examinations.
The three exams during the semester will each be worth 100 points. The number of points to be awarded for each exam will be based on a percentage of correct responses on both multiple choice and short answer questions. Only the best two 100-point exam grades will be included in your final grade. You can use one of the exams to replace a disappointing exam grade or a missed test. Therefore, I recommend you take advantage of all three exams, especially the first two exams.
