GRADING |
Course grades will be based upon your performance on
three exams (two mid-terms and final), worth 100 points each, and quizzes,
class participation, and homework, together worth 100 points. Exams will
cover the assigned readings from the text, problems, and class lectures. Your
final grade will be based on the following schedule: |

Total
Points Grade 360-400 A 320-359 B 280-319 C 240-279 D less than 240 F |

Make-up tests will not
be given. Missed quizzes result in a
zero for the quiz. Excused missed exams will increase the weight of
the final exam. A documented excuse
must be provided and the instructor must be notified prior to the
test. |
|
EXAMS |
Each test usually includes 20 to 30 questions, equally
weighted, of which approximately 10 to 15 questions require
calculations. No formula sheets
(except present value tables) are provided or allowed for exams. The exams cover a large amount of challenging
material. Begin your preparations
today. |
ATTENDANCE |
Attendance, with text, keypad, and calculator, is
expected each class period. Material
missed should be obtained from your colleagues. Prior lectures or problems presented in class
are not repeated. |
