Grading
     4 tests: 4x100 = 400
     final: 200
     10 homework: 10x10 = 100
     10 quizzes 10x10 = 100
     ------------------------------------------
     TOTAL 800
     90-100% A, 80-90% B, 70-80% C, 60-70% D, 0-60% F
Quizzes
     These will be in-class, about five minutes each covering a few problems.
Homework
     There is homework from the textbook for you to complete after each class.
     I won't collect textbook homework. Textbook problems are answered in the back of the book.
     I will hand out homework sheets for you to complete on your own, and you should turn these
     in at the beginning of the next class meeting. Never miss class to complete homework!
Tests
     The three tests (test1, test2, and the final) need to be completed for
     credit in this class. We will review tests the previous class day. You will receive
     sample tests for preparation. These samples are straightforward in that you can ensure
     success on tests by ensuring that you know how to do every sample test problem on your own.
     Never miss class in hopes of gaining extra study time!
NOTES
     1) Let me know if there is reason for special accommodation so that I can make
     arrangements for you.
     2) It is my observation gathered from years of teaching math courses that people
     who attend every class, read their textbook, complete their homework assignments
     (on time), and study carefully for tests always pass and almost always get good grades.
     3) Come to class every evening! This is the easy way to ensure success.
