Each student will be required to bring to class a working, scientific calculator, that the student actually knows how to use. This means it is better to buy a simple, dependable calculator, than an excessively complicated one. Always bring your textbook to class.

There will be two mid-term examinations, in addition to the final exam which is scheduled during the final exam week period. Each of the "mid-term" examinations will be 90-minutes long. The mid-term exams will be given during the laboratory period on Wednesday. See the lab syllabus for dates.
Some rearrangement of topics may occur, as necessary.
Laboratory accounts for 20% of the total grade. Frequent quizzes will be given, usually in the first 10 minutes of class. The relative weightings used for the calculation of the final course grade are as follows:
Final examination - 20%
First examination - 20%
Second examination - 20%
Laboratory - 20%
Graded Homework/Quizzes - 20%
I have always marked and returned examinations the next week of class, so the student can legitimately expect the timely return of all examinations.
Cheating in the class in any form will result in a final grade of F, with no exceptions
