Final Exam

Attendance: Students are expected to attend every scheduled class and to be familiar with the University Class Attendance policy as it appears in the General Catalog. It is the student's responsibility to keep informed of any announcements, syllabus adjustments or policy changes made during scheduled classes, by email. My webpage will have the most current information. Students are expected to behave in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct and the Code of Academic Integrity. The guiding principle of academic integrity is that a student's submitted work must be the student's own. University policies can be found at http://deanofstudents.arizona.edu/policiesandcodes .

Homework/Quizzes: (100 points) Homework will be submitted in two formats throughout the semester. A computer grading program called WebAssign will be used for problems assigned from the text (see WebAssign section information). Hand-written homework showing all work with proper notation will also be submitted. These problems will come from the text and/or from a set of problems created by your instructor. In-class quizzes will also be given. No calculators are allowed on quizzes. There are no make-up quizzes, but some quizzes may be dropped. A final homework/ quiz score based on 100 possible points will be assigned.

In-Class Exams: (300 points) The three in-class exams are tentatively scheduled see above. Each exam will be worth 100 points. Review problems can be found at math.arizona.edu/~calc . All non-approved electronic devices, including cell phones must be turned off during all exams. Silent and vibrate modes are not allowed.

Missed Exam Policy: In general, there will be no make-up exams in the course. However, in complex and unusual circumstances which are beyond your control, a make-up exam may be given on a case-by-case basis. This will require providing a detailed account of the situation and supporting documents. Approval in these cases is at the sole discretion of the instructor and/or the dean of students.

Final Exam: (200 points) The final exam is a comprehensive common department exam. It is scheduled for Wed Aug 8. Additional information and a study guide can be found at http://math.arizona.edu/~calc. The University's Exam regulations will be strictly followed (see http://www.registrar.arizona.edu/schedule131/exams/examrules.htm)

Calculators: A graphing calculator is an important tool that will be used throughout this course. Students are expected to have a working calculator for each exam. No calculator swapping is permitted during exams.

Grades: The total number of points available on tests and homework is 600. Grades will be no lower than those set forth in the following table
90% to 100%A
80% to 90%B
70% to 80%C
60% to 70%D
0% to 60%E

Students with disabilities: If you anticipate issues related to the format or requirements of this course, please meet with your instructor to discuss ways to ensure your full participation in the course.

At that point, you and your instructor can plan how best to coordinate your accommodations.

Students withdrawing from the course: You may withdraw from the course with a deletion from your enrollment record through July 11 using UAccess. You may withdraw with a grade of "W" or change to Audit through July 20 using a change of schedule form with your instructor's signature. The University allows withdraws after July 20, but only with the Dean's signature.
