The break lines will NOT be adjusted upward. Because summer classes are so small, adjustment rare. Performance on the final is important. In order to pass the course, you must attain a respectable score on the final. Additionally, when deciding on whether and how to adjust grade breaks, extra qualitative weight is given to the final and work at the end of the term over that at the beginning.
Homework assignments are the best opportunity to do so.
Students are encouraged to work as many homework problems as they can in order to improve their knowledge. During the fall semester, homework is due at the beginning of class each Monday. Late homework is not accepted unless arrangements are made in advance of the deadline. No assignments will be accepted late unless arrangements were made before the due date. If a student is to be out of town, the instructor must be notified in advance.
