Class Policies The UGA
Academic Honesty Policy will be followed closely. Four missed classes
may result in a withdrawal with a WF. There will be no make-ups for missed
quizzes and exams.
Homework and Quizzes Homework will be assigned almost every day.
We will discuss some of the problems on the days prior to the quiz days
(the last 20-25 minutes of class) and one-three problems from current
homework will be on the quiz. There will be 4 (four) quizzes. The lowest
quiz score will be dropped, to provide a cushion for sick days, broken car
days, family emergencies etc.
Make-up Policy No make-up for quizzes. No make up for
tests, but, in case of an excused and officially verified absence, the
average of the other two tests will be counted instead of the missed test.
Calculators TI-86 and below and comparable non-symbolic
calculators may be used on quizzes and exams; but nothing more advanced.
Evaluations All student evaluations will be done on-line this
spring during the last two weeks of the semester. One (1) point will be
added to the final average for a successful completion.
