Grading Policy:
Hour tests 5 each of 100 points 500 Quizzes 5-15 points each 100 Homework and class work 200 Projects 50 points each 200 Final Exam 200 _______ Total 1200 Hour tests will cover one or two chapters of the text. The course will be derived from Chapters one through six, plus some programs in Appendix A. Quizzes will be based on the days reading assignment, or ideas and concepts recently discussed. Often they will be announced the class meeting before the quiz. I will count your best 100 points worth. Each quiz will be valued at 10 to 20 points. Homework will be due the day it is listed on the syllabus. I will mark one or two problems, usually not checking the most difficult ones. Each problem will be marked as 70% for the math and 30% for the explanation of the work. The advantage for you is that the papers will be a useful resource for studying. The projects will be valued at 50 points each and will be chosen from a set of related problems from the text. These must be written in pen or typed. I plan to read them thoroughly, ask questions and give you a chance to turn in written corrections and/or explanations along with the original paper. The corrections must be on paper separate from the original and both must be turned in. On the syllabus you will find that there are five projects listed. This is my way of granting a chance for some extra credit. You will have a week from the time I first return the projects to make corrections. Of the 1200 points from which averages will be computed, the grades will be as follows 90% A; 87% A-; 84% B+; 80% B; 77% B-; 74 % C+; 70% C; 65% C-; 60% D.
