 In addition to the Sapling online homework problems, selected problems from the text will be assigned, but will not be graded. It is extremely important that you work all of the assigned problems. Active knowledge of the material covered in the problems will ensure that you will be able to work most of the problems on the exams. Also, many of the recitation quizze problems will be taken directly from the asigned problem sets. In addition,

 No make-up exams will be given. If you must miss an exam, and you have an acceptable excuse, a grade for that exam will be calculated based upon your performance on the other exams. Acceptable excuses include unavoidable problems such as illness, injury in an accident, etc. You cannot, however, pass the course without passing the final exam, which is comprehensive! No scratch paper, notes, books, calculators, computers, or models will be allowed in the exams.
