Additional Information

Doing homework is essential for you to learn calculus well. Students are expected to do the homework assignments. You are required to hand in your homework notebooks for evaluation. In order to avoid any course grade point reduction from your homework evaluation, you must show all the necessary work for each problem and make your answers easy for the instructor to read and follow.
Books, notes, and graphic calculators/computers are NOT allowed in all the quizzes and examinations.
No makeup for the quizzes and examinations except those that are missed because of religious observance, illnesses (with a doctor office letter), or when called to active military duty service.
Students are expected to attend all classes. Each class missing results in one-point reduction. The maximum of class missing reduction point is 5. In other words, perfect attendance will gain 5 points of your course grade.
