Homework Policy

A. Homework will be performed individually.

D. I will post solutions on Web CT.  The solutions will only be available to the students that turn in the homework. 

E. If I make a mistake in my homework solutions, the first person to contact me by email and point out the mistake will receive +5 points on their highest quiz grade. But it must be by email, not in person or over the telephone.

F. Homework is due at the beginning of the lecture in the classroom unless specific arrangements have made ahead of time. Homeworks shoved under my office door which are not found until after class will be considered late. Late homeworks will be penalized by 20% each day until they are physically received by me.

Quiz Policies

A. You will be able to drop one quiz score. No make-ups will be permitted. Quizzes are closed book, but you are allowed a single formula sheet, 8-1/2 by11, both sides, for each quiz.

B. You are responsible for anything I write on the board during a quiz. Be alert.

C. Quizzes will take place approximately every week and will be scheduled to last approximately 40 minutes.

D. If you do not understand what I am asking in a quiz problem, ask me during the quiz - don't tell me later that the problem was unclear. If you have a question during a quiz, come forward and ask me personally. Do not speak out and disturb the other students.

E. When you come forward to hand in your quiz, hand it in. Do not stand there and reconsider your answers. Quizzes are due at the end of the class, period

F. On a quiz, please show and explain all work if you hope for partial credit.

G. I will reconsider grading if you feel that you did not get fair treatment. You must come to me within a week to get a re-grade. I will never lower your grade.
