Exams

There will be three in-class exams and one final exam. See here for details.

It is deparmental policy that in order for a student to pass Math 201, he or she must past a so-called Gateway exam. These are exams that are administered by faculty and are intended to cover the basic material of Math 201. You have four chances to get 5 of the 6 questions on a Gateway exactly correct. The days we will be having Gateway exams are:

October 5
October 12
November 2
November 3

The last day to withdraw from a course is November 4. So, should you not pass one of the Gateway exams, it is recommended you withdraw from the course at that point.

There will be three midterm exams and a final. The midterms will be

September 21st: this will cover sections 1.1 - 3.1
October 26th: this will cover sections 3.1 - 3.11, 2.7 - 2.8
November 16th: this will cover chapter 4

Our final exam will be administered at a day and time to be determined. Do not make any plans to leave campus until the day and time are announced. The other commons hours, the ones not used for gateways and exams, will be used for group quizzes.

Homework Policy

Every day you will expected to present a problem on the board. Homework that is not presented in class will be collected.

All homework assignments will be posted on the course assignment's web page.

Grades

The course grade will be based upon the scores on your presentations, the exams, and quizzes:

In-class exams	15% each for a total of 45%
Final Exam	30%
Group Quizzes	10%
Class presentations	10%

Special Needs

Students with special needs who will be taking this course and may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see their instructor as soon as possible, certainly within the first two weeks of the course.
