TESTS: Tests cover material presented in class, assigned reading, and homework problems. The tests will not be cumulative, but prior knowledge is needed to solve current problems.
The final with will have cumulative problems. Cell phones cannot be used on Tests or Quizzes.
Makeup on class tests will not be offered in normal cases. However, in exceptional situations and with proper official documentation (doctor’s note, police report, etc.) I may decide to offer a makeup. If you are given a make-up, in general it will be harder.
HOMEWORK AND QUIZZES: You will have homework assigned online. You will also have weekly quizzes that are from the online homework. No make-up quizzes or late assignments will be accepted. The lowest homework grade will be dropped at the end of the semester.
