Exams: • There will be three exams and a final.• The final will cover all material from the class. • You may elect to not take the final if you are happy with the grades on your exams

Grading: if you don’t take the final • Exam I 33 % Exam II 33 % Exam III 33 % • A = 90-100 B = 80-89.999C = 70-79.999D= 60-69.999

Grading: if do take the final • Exam I 20 % Exam II 20 % Exam III 20 % Final 40% • A = 90-100 B = 80-89.999 C = 70-79.999 D= 60-69.999

If the final exam lowers your overall grade it will not be counted in calculating your final grade. Thus you can’t lose by taking the final.

Makeup tests • You will need to make special arrangements with me if you want to take the test at another time. You will need a valid excuse such as a medical emergency or religious holiday. Arrangements must be made prior to the exam.

Attendance • Attendance for this class is not required. However, because most questions will come directly from the lectures, the probability of receiving a decent grade without attendance is very small. Recognize that the book is very difficult and part of the book will not be on the exam
