Each test will be graded on its own scale normalized to 100%.
The final will also be graded on a scale normalized to 100%. All of
the homework and quizzes collected will be totaled and graded as one test. At
the end of the semester the five grades will be averaged and compared
to the average of the scales. Grading will reflect the mathematical
correctness of the answer and the quality of the presentation in
terms of completeness and organization. Late assignments will be
penalized. Active participation in the
class discussions will also be factored into the evaluations.
Make-up tests will be given only in special cases, when an excused
absence has been prearranged. Incompletes will follow the
university's policy as expressed in the student bulletins and the
faculty handbook. No incomplete will be given to repeat the entire
course.
