Grading Policy
Expectations: Students are expected to learn both the mathematics covered in class and the mathematics in the textbook and other assigned reading. Completing homework is part of the learning experience. Students should review topics from prior courses as needed using old notes and books.
Homework: Approximately two hours of homework will be assigned in each lesson as well as additional review assignments.
Review: There is room for only one lesson devoted specifically to review. Students can and should: (a) consult appropriate sections in the text, (b) go to Math Lab, problem sessions and office hours, and (c) do problems on a weekly basis, assigned or not, from sections previously covered. The more problems you do, the more you will retain.
Grades: Students who do not pass the uniform department final will not pass the course. There is no partial credit on the uniform final. Sample finals are available. The precise grading policy for your section will be distributed by your instructor.
