Exams:

There will be two in class midterm exams given on February 27 and on April 11.

The final exam date will be announced at a later date by the registrar. More information to help you prepare for the exams will be posted in the links on the left.

No calculators will be allowed in exams or quizzes.



Homework:

Homework will be assigned after every lecture and it will posted in Homework. Although we will not collect homework, you should complete each assignment and make sure that you get help when you are confused. This is particularly important because in-class quizzes will be composed mostly of homework questions.



Quizzes:

There will be quizzes given during the Wednesday lecture and your top ten quiz scores will count toward your grade. Makeup quizzes will not be given. If you miss a quiz for a university accepted reason then your quiz grade will be computed ignoring that quiz. Calculators will not be allowed.

 

Makeup Exams/Quiz Policy:

The only valid excuses for missing an exam or quiz are a family-related crisis or a serious health problem. If this is the case, you will need a note from the appropriate Dean or University Health Services official and you should notify your instructor as soon as possible.



Grades:

Your final grade for the class will be computed according to the following:

Quizzes: 20%

Midterm 1: 25%

Midterm 2: 25%

Final Exam: 30%



Office Hours and Additional Help:

We strongly encourage you to attend the office hours of your instructor. All of us are also available to meet by appointment (send an email!).

Extra help is also available through the Q-Center. The Q-Center provides free tutoring on a drop-in basis and exam review sessions.



Academic Integrity:

Please be familiar with the university policy on academic integrity (http://www.community.uconn.edu/academic_integrity.html). All breaches of this code of conduct will be taken seriously and handled as per university regulations.



Special Accommodations:

Student Athletes and Students with Disabilities should inform your instructor of your commitments as an athlete, any special needs that you have, etc. within the first three weeks of the semester. You will be expected to bring in a letter from the Athletics Department or the Center for Students with Disabilities.

The University Senate passed a motion on about religious observances which stipulated that Students anticipating such a conflict should inform their instructor in writing within the first three weeks of the semester, and prior to the anticipated absence, and should take the initiative to work out with the instructor a schedule for making up missed work. For conflicts with final examinations, students should, as usual, contact the Office of Student Services and Advocacy.

Any questions or concerns about the course should be sent to either your instructor or the course coordinator Dr. Steven Pon.
