The course is designed to aid the student in the ability to define a problem, select pertinent information for the solution of the problem, recognize stated and unstated assumptions, formulate and select relevant hypotheses, and make valid conclusions and inferences. Total points are 400. Grading is on a straight percentage scale, and is determined by dividing the number of points possible into the number of points obtained. I reserve the right to ask for documentation of illness through a note from a health care provider. As noted in section 5, absences are excused only under limited circumstances.
Consistent attendance is necessary to succeed in the course.
If tardiness seems to become a problem, I will begin locking the door once class begins and refuse to admit tardy students. Official University procedures prohibit me from giving you the final early to facilitate a longer vacation. Persons with excused reasons for missing the final must take it on Saturday, June 3 . 7. The Americans With Disabilities Act ensures that all reasonable accommodations will be made to assist those of you who need assistance to take part in the class at an optimal level. Academic honesty is both required and expected.
