Calculator:  Calculators will not be allowed on any of the exams.  A scientific calculator may be necessary for some homework assignments or quizzes.

Homework:  Your daily homework is your most important effort in this course.  It is imperative that you do all of the assigned problems, especially the hard ones, because this is how you actually learn the material. Expect 2-3 hours of homework for every hour of class meeting time (on average 6-9 hours per week).  Keep all of your homework together in a folder so that if you are having trouble in the course, you can bring it with you when you go to see me or get tutoring.

Quizzes:  There will be weekly quizzes.  The quiz problems will be very similar to the homework problems, if not the same.  Most of the quizzes will be in-class and announced, but occasionally there may be a pop quiz.  No make-up quizzes will be given, even if you have an excused absence.  The two lowest quiz scores will be dropped at the end of the semester.

Exams:  There will be three in-class exams, 100 points each.  You have to show all your work and use proper mathematical notation to receive full credit.  A correct answer without work will receive no more than 1 point.  I do not give make up exams.  If you are ill or have some form of excused absence, you must contact me on or before the day of the exam in order to have your final grade calculated without this test.  I typically replace the score for this exam by  your average on the final.

Final Exam:  The final exam, comprehensive and worth 200 points, will be held on Monday, May 4th between 7:30 am and 9:30 am.  The location of the exam will be announced near the end of the semester.

Important Note: Notes of any kind, 3x5 cards, books, cell phones, computers, headphones etc. are not allowed on any tests, including the Final Exam.

Grading:  To get full credit on graded work, students must address all mathematical components presented by the problem, showing all steps and calculations.  The use of proper notation, well-structured procedures, and legibility will be taken into account when assigning points.  Your grade will be determined based on your performance on the following:

Quizzes 100 Points
Exams 300 Points
Final Exam
200 Points
Total 600 Points
Grading:  The grades will for the most part be assigned as follows:  90% to 100% = A          80% to 89%  = B          70% to 79% = C          below 70% D or F 
However, there may be a slight curve.  If so, the curve will be announce for each test.  There will be no extra credit.  Students who withdraw after week 3 will receive the grade W.  No W’s will be given to students who have not withdrawn.

Communication:  Please check your UNM e-mail regularly or make sure to forward your e-mail from that address to an account that you check at least daily.  I may send you important information and updates to your UNM e-mail address.  If you e-mail me, include your full name and that you are a student in my 180 class.

Attendance:  Attendance is mandatory.  A student with three or more unexcused absences may be dropped from the course.  Tardiness or early departure may be regarded as absence.  It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from the course if he/she stops attending.  A failing grade of “F” will be assigned if the student stops attending and does not withdraw.

Student Behavior:  According to the Code of Conduct as stated in the Policies and Regulations for UNM, student activities that interfere with the rights of others to pursue their education or to conduct their University duties and responsibilities will lead to disciplinary action.  This includes any activities that are disruptive to the class and any acts of academic dishonesty.  Students are expected to behave in a courteous and respectful manner toward the instructor and their fellow students.  Students should turn off their cell-phones before the beginning of each class, and be prepared to remain seated the entire class.  Students may be dropped from a class for inappropriate behavior.

Students with Disabilities:  We accommodate students with documented disabilities.  During the first two weeks of the semester, those students should inform the instructor of their particular needs.

Help:  If you are struggling, seek help immediately.  In addition to your instructor's office hours, there is extra help available at:
- The Calculus Tutoring Table, staffed by instructors every day,  3rd floor DSH near the elevator
- CAPS: Center for Academic Program Support, 3rd floor Zimmerman Library, 277-4560
- MEP Engineering Annex, room 210, or call the study group at 277-8795
- CATS: Counseling and Therapy Services, Student Health Center, 277-4537 (for test anxiety, etc.)
