\noindent {\bf Text:} {\it Introduction to Vector Analysis, 7th Edition}, by
H. Davis and A. Snider

\vspace{3mm}
\noindent{\bf Course Content:} Sections in Chapters 1-5

%\vspace{3mm}
%\noindent {\bf Prequisite:} Math 1114 and 1206

\vspace{3mm}
\noindent {\bf Homework:} Problems will be assigned regularly and
discussed in class.
At least two problems from each assignment will be graded.

\vspace{3mm}
\noindent {\bf Grading Policy:} The homework assignments will be
such that each problem is worth 5 points.
The problems will be due the class period after which they are assigned.
Late assignments will {\it not} be accepted for grading.
There will be a cumulative final which will be worth 300 points, and 
a series of quizzes which will be worth 25 points apiece.
A make-up for a quiz can be arranged if it was missed for a {\it valid}
reason.

The distribution of grades
is not determined until the end of the semester.
In a typical situation, the final distribution of grades will
determine the cutoff point for A's, B's, etc.
I can guarantee, however, that if you have a 93 average or better,
you will receive an A for the course.

\vspace{3mm}
\noindent {\bf Make-up Policy:} Make-up quizzes will be given if a
quiz is missed for a valid reason.
Valid reasons include illness, pregnancy, family emergency, and active
participation in scholarly or athletic events.
A reason will be valid only if there is documentation.
Invalid excuses consist of oversleeping,
hangovers, exhaustion, personal vacations, and other tests during the
same week.
If a quiz is missed for a legitimate reason, an attempt {\it must} be made
to contact me by the day of the quiz (preferably before the quiz is given)
to let me know of your difficulty.
If this attempt is not made, you will not be permitted to make up the
quiz.
The quiz will be made up at the earliest convenience.

If you must miss a quiz due to a prearranged conflict, let me
know about it so that we can arrange an alternate quiz date.
If I don't find out about the conflict until after you have the missed
the quiz, you will {\it not} be allowed to make it up.

\vspace{3mm}
\noindent{\bf Attendance Policy:} 
Your attendance is not mandatory; however, your likelihood of doing
well is directly proportional to the number of lectures that you
attend.
If you decide not to attend, that is your business,
but please do not then expect me to be sympathetic to
your pleas for help the day before a quiz.

%\vspace{3mm}
%\noindent{\bf Note:} You will receive a grade for this class only
%if you are enrolled for this class.
