There are no make-up quizzes . In the event of a missed exam, there will be a cumulative make-up exam given in the Testing Center during the next to the last week of class. It is the student's responsibility to contact the instructor about the absence and to sign up for the make-up. Attendance is necessary for successful completion of this course. Homework is crucial to master new material and develop skill in applying concepts.
Some homework is graded.
Additional problems from the end of the chapters will be assigned for practice. Tests are problem solving oriented, and will be similar to these problems. Homework is an essential part of test preparation . A general guideline says an average of 2 to 3 hours of study time per week is necessary for each 1 credit hour. For this course that translates to an average of 8 to 12 hours per week.
