Special Notes: 

1) You are expected to take the exams at the scheduled times.  In fairness to all the students of the class, a missed exam may be re-scheduled only if it is due to circumstances out of your control, and you need to provide a valid written excuse (such as a statement from your doctor).

2) University/Dept policy: Under no circumstances should a student be allowed to do “extra work” in order to improve his/her grade unless every member of the class is given the same opportunity. Follow this link for University of policies: http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/SecU/policies.html

3) Monday, 2/18 is the last day to drop without a "W" on record and Friday 3/14 is the last day to drop.

4) If you are a student with a disability, please feel free to contact me early in the semester for any help you may need.

 

Grading Policy: The four exams will be 100 points each, the final will be 200 points, and the maximum total score is 600 points. Your final grade will be assigned according to your percentage out of these 600 points as follows:  A,  540 (90%); A-,  510 (85%); B+,  480 (80%);  B,  450 (75%); B-,  420 (70%);
