Algebra & Functions test dates

There will be four tests in class, on the following dates [subject to change]:

  1. 12 Sept 2019
  2. 10 Oct 2019
  3. 7 Nov 2019
  4. 5 Dec 2019
The best three tests are worth 20% each, the worst test is worth 10%. 10% will be given for WeBWorK (and perhaps other) homework assignments, and 20% will be given for short in-class quizzes (usually on Mondays). All this will determine your term (or class) mark. As described in the course outline, the final grade will be determined by your term mark and your final exam mark.

If there is a class cancellation on the day of a test, you ought to expect that it will be held on the next possible day, unless I have announced otherwise.

Maths & Logic test dates

There will be five tests in class, on the following dates [subject to change]:

  1. 13 Sept 2019
  2. 4 Oct 2019
  3. 25 Oct 2019
  4. 15 Nov 2019
  5. 6 Dec 2019
The test getting the lowest mark will count toward 10% of the final grade, and the others will each count toward 20% of the final grade. The remaining 10% is for class participation.

Absences, etc.

I strongly recommend that you attend all classes, and if you expect to miss a class, please tell me ahead of time if possible, so I can let you know what material you will have to make up on your own.

You are responsible for covering missed classes, and for doing missed assignments, yourself, regardless of the reasons for missing the classes.

Students who wish to observe religious holidays must inform me of their intent, in writing, within the first two weeks of the semester. As with other absences, you are responsible for making up the missed material yourself.

If you have to miss a test, let me know as soon as possible (leave me a message by phone, send me an email, or otherwise inform me of the circumstances at the earliest possible moment). If you know ahead of time, we may be able to arrange an alternate schedule; if that is impossible, let me know when you will be back at college (for the same reason). Do not just show up to class after the test without having been in touch, expecting me to arrange things for you at that time!

The use of cell phones in class is strictly forbidden - be sure to put your phone away, especially during tests (where the use of a cell phone could be interpreted as cheating). (This applies for the final exam as well.) If you wish to use a laptop or other electronic device in class, clear it with me beforehand. Such use will not be allowed during tests, of course.
