Homework (20%): Following each section covered there will be a corresponding assignment. Students must log on to the MyMathLab system through blackboard and complete the homework. There will be an approximate schedule of assignments on Blackboard. You will be given unlimited attempts on each problem for homework. Once you try 3 times you will have to choose try a similar problem to get a new problem. I will drop the lowest 4 MyMathLab assignments at the end of the course. Quizzes (25%): There will be 9 total quizzes. Quizzes will be given on MyMathLab. After the last quiz has been given I will drop the lowest 2 quiz grades. You will be able to pause the quiz and save and come back to it during the time frame I give you, but you will not be able to go back to a problem that you have previously completed. I will not go in and give credit for answers that are entered in incorrectly. It is expected that you are completing the quizzes independently. Midterm Exam (25%): The Midterm Exam will be given on MyMathLab. You will be given a specific window of time to complete it in. You will get two attempts at the exam, so be sure that you enter in the answer properly. I will not go in and give credit for answers that are entered in incorrectly. Your exam is expected to be completed independently. Final Exam (30%): There will be a cumulative final exam given at the end of the course. The Final Exam will be given on MyMathLab. You will be given a specific window of time to complete it. You will get two attempts at the exam, so be sure that you enter in the answer properly.
