Evaluation: Your final grade will be calculated as:
Two in-class tests (40% total) + one in-class Final Exam (30%)+ In-class quizzes (15%) + class participation (5%) + Homework (10%).

Two in-class tests (40%):
There will be two exams. If you miss a test for a verifiable reason (for example, illness or family emergency), you must notify me as soon as possible and provide a written verification from an appropriate authority (not a family member), otherwise you will score 0 for that test. Personal travel is not a valid excuse. You are expected to take all tests. There will be no make-up test under any circumstance. Any missing test will be counted as zero. No extra time will be given in tests to students who arrive late.

One in-class Final Exam (30%):
The final exam will be a one-session exam based on the whole term. It will be given on the last day of classes, Thursday, December 18, 10:00 am - 11:40 am. It is the responsibility of each student to be available at the time of the examination. You must take the final exam in order to pass the course.

In-class quizzes (15%) and class participation (5%):
The quiz will be given in the first 10 - 15 mins weekly when it is not a test or exam day. The grade will be evenly distributed over all the quizzes. There will be no make-up quiz under any circumstance. Any missing quiz will be counted as zero. No extra time will be given in quizzes to students who arrive late. Class participation includes class discussion and the classwork. The purpose of these discussions is to gain practice at analyzing problems and communicating effectively. You will get a classwork sheet in each class and you will finish the sheet in the class.

Homework (10%):
Homework will be assigned once the corresponding section is finished. You will have 5 days to one week to finish it. The homeworks will be collected in person before the class starts at the due date. E-files are NOT acceptable. Only one or two selected questions will be graded in each homework, so please finish every question to get the full credit.



Homework: This course is designated as a Writing Intensive course You can find the selected Homework question numbers and schedule here. The homeworks will be collected in person before the class starts at the due date. E-files are NOT acceptable. The late homework is Not acceptable. Doing homework will be helpful for you to answer the questions in quizzes/tests or class participation.

Attendance policy: You are expected to attend all classes and are responsible for all the material covered. Attendance is required and will be taken at the beginning of each class. Lateness and students leaving before the end of the class period will be recorded.
