\textbf{Attendance}:  Students are expected to attend every scheduled class and
to be familiar with the University Class Attendance policy as it appears in the
General Catalog.  It is the student's responsibility to keep informed of any
announcements, syllabus adjustments or policy changes made during scheduled
classes. Students are expected to behave in accordance with the Student Code of
Conduct and the Code of Academic Integrity. The guiding principle of academic
integrity is that a student's submitted work must be the student's own.
University policies can be found at
\texttt{http://dos.web.arizona.edu/uapolicies}.

Coming to class is your job; I do not require an excuse for you to miss class.
However, I will administratively drop students who are on my roster but do not
appear for the first two days of class.  This is to free up room for other
students who want to add the class.  I will also administratively drop students
who have missed at least three classes as well as the first exam.

\textbf{Homework/quizzes}: Homework will be submitted in two formats throughout
the semester.  A computer grading program called WebAssign will be used for
problems assigned from the text (see the last paragraph for more information).
Hand-written homework showing all work with proper notation will also be
submitted. These problems will come from the text and/or from a set of problems
created by me.

In-class quizzes will be given from time to time (approximately once per week).
Quizzes will be announced in advance, and they will be short --- usually one or
two problems.  There are no make-up quizzes:  some quizzes will be dropped as
explained in the grading paragraph below.  The content of a quiz is very
similar to recent homework.  My main reason for giving quizzes is to find out
how we're doing \emph{before} the exam comes along, so that we can prepare for
exams as effectively as possible.

\textbf{Homework/quiz grading}: A final homework/quiz score based on 100
possible points will be assigned (75 points from the computer-graded and
hand-written assignments and 25 points from the quizzes).

%I will grade 5 problems per assignment --- I will include a point grade of 15
%points per assignment.  There will be about 50-60 homeworks and quizzes over
%the semester, so I'll rescale those homework points to be out of 100 at the end
%of the semester.

\textbf{Policy on late homework}:  I want you to succeed in this course.  If
you have a cold or a flat tire, I don't want you to have to bring a note from
your doctor or your mechanic.  Also, I don't want to be the judge of whether
your excuse is valid or not.  At the same time, I don't want late homework to
slip behind.  To make things simpler for you as well as me, I do not accept
late homework for any reason whatsoever, but I do drop your lowest 4 or so
homework scores at the end of the year.

There are two exceptions to this rule: (1) A Dean of Students excuse overrides
my homework policy.  (2) If you are going to be missing class frequently due to
medical reasons, I will be willing to work with you only upon receipt of a
signed medical excuse.  Again, you do not need to bring a doctor's note when
you have a cold;  the occasional cold falls under my policy of dropping the
lowest 4 or so homework/quiz grades.  If you need further consideration than 4
or so assignments, then in return I ask you to provide documentation from your
doctor.

Please note, however, that even though I don't give credit for late homework,
nonetheless if you turn in a late assignment to me, I will mark it up with
feedback for you, and return it to you.

\textbf{In-class exams}:
\vspace*{-0.15in}
\begin{itemize}
\item Preliminary-material exam (50 points): Wednesday, September 3.
	This test will cover algebraic skills that are essential for success in
	Math 124.  Calculators are not permitted on the preliminary exam.  An
	on-line review can be found at
	\texttt{http://prep.math.lsa.umich.edu/pmc}.

\item Exam 1 (100 points) Wednesday, September 17.
\item Exam 2 (100 points) Thursday, October 9.
\item Exam 3 (100 points) Thursday, November 6.
\item Exam 4 (100 points) Thursday, December 4.
\item Final exam (200 points): Monday, December 15, 2:00-4:00 p.m.
	(This date and time are scheduled by the university.)
	More information and a study guide can be found at
	\texttt{http://math.arizona.edu/{\textasciitilde}calc}.
\end{itemize} 

\textbf{Exam policy}: All electronic devices, particularly cell phones, must be
turned off during all exams. Silence and vibration modes are not allowed. The
University's exam regulations for final exam week will be strictly followed, in
particular those regarding students with multiple exams on a single day.  The
regulations can be found at
\texttt{http://www.registrar.arizona.edu/schedule081/exams/examrules.htm}.

\textbf{Make-up exams}:  If you miss an exam, I will give you a make-up exam,
usually in my office at a time we agree on.  I will use an exam written by
another instructor, not by me.

\textbf{Calculators}:  A graphics calculator is an important tool that will be
used in this course.  Students are expected to have a working calculator for
each exam.  No calculator swapping is permitted during exams. Calculator
programs can be found at
\texttt{http://math.arizona.edu/{\textasciitilde}krawczyk/calcul.html}.

\textbf{Grades}:  The total number of points available on tests and homework is
770.  To summarize the point information stated above, these 770 points are
taken as follows:

\begin{tabular}{|l|r|}
\hline ALEKS assessment 1 & 20 points \\
\hline Preliminary-material exam & 50 points \\
\hline Exam 1 & 100 points \\
\hline Exam 2 & 100 points \\
\hline Exam 3 & 100 points \\
\hline Exam 4 & 100 points \\
\hline Final exam & 200 points \\
\hline Homework & 100 points \\
\hline
\hline Total & 770 points \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Grades will be no lower than those set forth in the following table:

\begin{tabular}{|rrrrr|rrr|r|}
\hline 693 &$\le$& points &$\le$& 770 &90\% &to& 100\% &A \\
\hline 616 &$\le$& points &$\le$& 692 &80\% &to&  90\% &B \\
\hline 539 &$\le$& points &$\le$& 615 &70\% &to&  80\% &C \\
\hline 462 &$\le$& points &$\le$& 538 &60\% &to&  70\% &D \\
\hline   0 &$\le$& points &$\le$& 461 &0\%  &to&  60\% &E \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

\textbf{Students with disabilities}: If you anticipate issues related to the
format or requirements of this course, please meet with me to discuss ways to
ensure your full participation in the course.  If you determine that formal,
disability-related accommodations are necessary, it is very important that you
be registered with Disability Resources (621-3268;
\texttt{http://drc.arizona.edu}). You should notify me of your eligibility for
reasonable accommodations by Friday, January 19. You and I can then plan how
best to coordinate your accommodations.

\textbf{Students withdrawing from the course}: If you withdraw from the course
by September 19, the course will be deleted from your enrollment record. If you
withdraw from the course by October 17, you will receive a grade of W.  The
University allows withdraws after October 17, but only with the dean's
signature. Late withdraws will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, and
requests for late withdraw with a W without a valid reason may or may not be
honored.

\textbf{Incompletes}:
The grade of I will be awarded if all of the following conditions are met:
\begin{enumerate}
\item The student has completed all but a small portion of the required work.
\item The student has scored at least 50\% on the work completed.
\item The student has a valid reason for not completing the course on time.
\item The student agrees to make up the material in a short period of time.
\item The student asks for the incomplete before grades are due, 48 hours after
the final exam.
\end{enumerate}

\textbf{Computing resources}: Information about using computers on campus,
setting up a UA e-mail account, and computer support can be found at
\texttt{http://www.oscr.arizona.edu}.  A list and map of open-access computing
facilities on campus can be found at \texttt{http://www.oscr.arizona.edu/maps}.

\textbf{Instructions for WebAssign}:

To create an account for our class go to \texttt{http://webassign.net}, click
on the log-in button, then click on the \emph{I Have a Class Key} button. Our
class key is \textbf{arizona 6642 5454}.  You must do this even if you have
used WebAssign in the past or are using it for another course this semester.
There is a 14-day grace period (from the first day of classes) before you must
