Excused absences (death in the family, medical problems, official UCF functions etc.) for exams and quizzes will not hurt your overall grade, but your instructor must be notified no later than 24 hours after the absence, and they must be supported in writing within 1 week. Absences caused by travel plans will result in a score of zero being given.No make-up exams or quizzes will be given in this class. HOMEWORK You should work through all the questions at the end of each section in the book. A short quiz will be given by your GTA at the end of your weekly discussion class, and the questions will be of a similar standard to those in the book. The quizzes will contribute 10% to your final grade. TESTS There will be five midterm exams, and a comprehensive final exam. When you finish an exam you should submit your Scantron (which will not be provided, so be sure to bring your own) and keep your test paper. The solutions to all the exams can be obtained from your instructor. The use of graphing calculators is not permitted, nor is the use of cell-phone calculators. Anyone who is more than 15 minutes late for an exam will automatically receive a score of zero. GRADING POLICY The course grade is determined by the taking the top four scores from the five midterm exams, plus the final exam and the quizzes. Final grade assignment follows the standard scale:A : 90-100% B : 80-89% C : 70-79% D : 60-69% F : 0-59% GRADING SCALE Average Grade 90 - 100% A 80 - 89% B 70 - 79% C 60 - 69% D 0 - 59% F NC POLICY An NC grade cannot be awarded in this class.
