Calculators	Calculators may be allowed on some exams.
Assignments	My expectation is that you will spend an average of two hours outside of class per hour in class.  Homework assignments will not be collected but are important for your learning.  Your grade will be based on quizzes and exams.  Other assignments may be given.  Do NOT fall behind in your homework.

	Exams will cover the material from class and homework.  Quizzes will be on the equivalence relations on the "Equivalence Quiz Study Guide".  Your lowest quiz score will be dropped.
	Exams must be taken during the scheduled time.  No late exams will be given.  In case of emergency, you must contact me before the time of the exam.  Noncompliance with this procedure will result in a grade of zero for that exam.  Any form of cheating will result in a zero.

ARCC Nursing Students
	Students are allowed 3 attempts on the final exam and must achieve 90% correct in order to enter the Nursing Program.  The first score on the final exam will be used to determine the final grade for the course.  One Final Exam retest will be given on Dec 18 at 9:40 am.  The second retest date and time will be announced during the semester.
Pass/No Credit	If you wish to take this course on a pass/no credit basis, you must inform me in writing by the end of the first week.  Passing is 70% or better.  Be sure to check with your counselor first.
