\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 assigned regularly.  Selected
homework will be graded and a final score equivalent to one test, 100 points,
will be assigned.  Homework is an essential component of the course, whether it
is assigned for grading or not.

In-class quizzes, five to ten minutes long, will be given from time to time
(approximately once per week).  Each is worth as much as a homework assignment.
The content of a quiz is very similar to recent homework; quizzes will be
announced in advance.  My main reason for giving quizzes is to find out how
you're doing \emph{before} the exam comes along, so that we can prepare for
exams as effectively as possible.

\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{Homework grading}:  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.

For each assignment, I will give you a score of 0, 1, or 2 for each of the five
problems I grade.  That makes 10 points.  The remaining 5 points for the
assignment will be ``completion points'' --- that is, I'll look at the problems
I'm not grading in detail and see if you've attempted them.

\textbf{Exams}:
\vspace*{-0.15in}
\begin{itemize}
\item Preliminary-material exam (50 points): Thursday, January 18. \\
	This test will cover algebraic skills that are essential for success in
	Math 124. An on-line review can be found at
	\texttt{http://prep.math.lsa.umich.edu/pmc}.
	(Calculators are not permitted on the preliminary exam.)
\item Exam 1 (100 points) Friday, February 2.
\item Exam 2 (100 points) Thursday, March 1.
\item Exam 3 (100 points) Tuesday, April 3.
\item Exam 4 (100 points) Thursday, April 26.
\item Final exam (200 points): Monday, May 7, 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/schedule071/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
750.  To summarize the point information stated above, these 750 points
are taken as follows:

\begin{tabular}{|l|r|}
\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 & 750 points \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

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

\begin{tabular}{|rrrrr|rrr|r|}
\hline 675 &$\le$& points &$\le$& 750 &90\% &to& 100\% &A \\
\hline 600 &$\le$& points &$\le$& 674 &80\% &to&  90\% &B \\
\hline 525 &$\le$& points &$\le$& 599 &70\% &to&  80\% &C \\
\hline 450 &$\le$& points &$\le$& 524 &60\% &to&  70\% &D \\
\hline   0 &$\le$& points &$\le$& 449 &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 your instructor 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 your instructor of your eligibility for reasonable accommodations by
Friday, January 19. You and your instructor can then plan how best to
coordinate your accommodations.

\textbf{Students withdrawing from the course}:

If you withdraw from the course by February 6, the course will be deleted from
your enrollment record. If you withdraw from the course by March 6, you will
receive a grade of W.  The University allows withdraws after March 6, 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}
