Tutorials:

In addition to attend lectures you must attend tutorials, where you will write a weekly quiz and practice problem solving. The quizzes will contain questions
similar to those found in the current posted assignment or may also be taken rleated current course material at your TA's discretion. Your TA will grade your quiz and return it. The lowest quiz score will not count and there are no make-up quizzes in the tutorials. Quizzes begin in the third week of classes.

Assignment:

Practice assignments and solutions will be posted on the intranet each week. The assignments will not be graded and should not be handed in. The quizzes, tests and final examination will contain problems similar to those in assignemtns, the textbook and the lectures.

Calculator policy:

Only the following specific models will be permited;
Texas Instruments TI-30, TI-34II Explorer PLus
Sharp EL531 Casio fx-65 fx-260

Additional letters after the calculator do not count in determining the model number of the calculator. E.g. EL-531 R is the same as EL-531, thus is allowed.

Evaluation:

Grades will be computed according to the following percentages:

Weekly Graded Tutorial Quizzes	25%
First Midterm Test	15%
Second Midterm Test	15%
Final Exam	45%

Policies regarding late assignments:
Late homework will be accepted only if arrangements have been made with me before the deadline. However, exceptions can be made in other cases, for example, for documented medical or family emergency.

No make-up exams will be given. If a midterm exam is missed because of a serious and documented illness or emergency, your semester grade will be determined on the basis of other work done in the course. Exams missed for other reasons will be counted as failures.

If you have a conflict with any of these dates, particularly with the date of the final exam, please contact me to discuss the matter as soon as you are aware of the conflict.
