Grading: Triterm 1 is worth 30% of the term-grade. Triterm 2
is worth 30 % of the term-grade. Triterm 3 is worth 30% of the
term-grade. The quizzes consists of 10 % of the term-grade. Your course grade will be computed in the following manner:
The average term-grade for the class will be calculated = AT
The average final exam grade for the class will be calculated =AF
Let D = AF-AT
Your compensated term grade (CT) = Your term-grade + D
Your Course grade= 1/2 (CT + your final exam grade)

It is imperative that you try (and write up solutions for) the homework problems before their respective due dates. You are encouraged to work together on solving the problems. To get the most gain out of doing the problems, you are encouraged to write up solutions and bring them to class on the due date. We shall try to discuss the homework for a few minutes in class. Homework will not be collected.

Studying : The course requires at least two hours of study for each hour of class time. Please take your homework seriously, even though it is not collected. The problems given are a small selection so try other problems for practice from the text. Working regularly through out the semester is a key to success in any math class.
Feedback: I would really appreciate feedback from you as the course progresses. If there is anything that you would like me to do differently feel free to let me know.
