Course Structure and Grading Policies

Homework problems will be assigned at the end of each lecture. They might be collected and graded. In  that case, the grade will count as a quiz (see below).  Your final score for the course will be computed as follows:

• Computer Labs: 15% of the course grade.
  

  [http://www.math.sc.edu/calclab/141L-F09/]
  

  
  
• Quizzes: 15% of the course grade. Only the 10 best scores are counted.
  

  A ten-minute quiz will be given during the problem session. There will be no make-up quizzes, since only the best 10 grades count towards the course grade.
  

  
  
• Midterms: each test counts 15%, for a total of 45% of the course grade.
  

  There will be three in-class midterm exams scheduled as follows:
  
  

  Test #	Date
  1	Fri Sep 18
  2	Mon Oct 19
  3	Wed Nov 18

  
  No make-up tests will be given. Only medical, death in the family, religious or official USC business reasons are valid excuses for missing a test and must be verified by letter from a doctor, guardian or supervisor to the instructor.
  

  
  
• Final exam: 25% of the course grade.
  

  The final exam is scheduled on Wednesday, December 10, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon
  

  
  

The course grade will be determined as follows:

GRADE	RANGE
A	90%-100%
B+	85%-89%
B	80%-84%
C+	75%-79%
C	70%-74%
D+	65%-69%
D	60%-64%
F	below 60%

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance is mandatory. Penalties to your final grade apply as follows:

• Students missing four sessions without a valid excuse will have their final grade lowered by half a letter grade (e.g. from C to D+).
• Students missing six sessions without a valid excuse will have their final grade lowered by a full letter grade (e.g. from B to C)
• Students missing eight sessions without a valid excuse will have their final grade lowered by a letter-and-a-half (e.g. from A to C+)
