Homework Each section has a MyMathLab assignment, a book assignment, or both. Each
MyMathLab assignment will be weighted equally. The written homework will not be collected but
the questions will be on the test and the quizzes.
Quizzes There are ten (10) quizzes throughout the semester. They are either administered through
MyMathLab or distributed in class to be completed outside of class. Either way, the quiz problems
are similar to those encountered in homework. There is also a cumulative quiz.
Tests There are four (4) tests. There are no make-up tests. If a student misses a test, the grade for that
test is 0. See final exam.
Final Exam There is a comprehensive final exam. The final exam grade also replaces the lowest test
grade if doing so is to the student’s advantage.
I do not curve grades; I do not “give” grades. You earn what you get so plan to work accordingly.
