Bonus marks: Your grade on each week's quiz will be supplemented by your on-line homework completed by the following Sunday. (TIP: be sure to attempt the on-line quiz before your lab to get the extra practice. The Mathpro5 website provides also plenty of interactive exercices created by the author of our textbook.)

No makeups:	There will be NO make-up quizzes or tests. If a student’s final exam score is higher than one of the other test scores, the final exam score will be used to replace the lowest test score.

In case you miss a test for some emergency you need to provide documentation (for example, a Doctor’s certificate in case you were very sick).

Rules of the Classroom:	Due to the large class size, we have to implement strict rules in the classroom to ensure that students' right of learning is protected. Please observe the following: No conversations during class. People who talk loudly or disturb the class in any other manner will be asked to leave the classroom. Repeated offenders will be reported to university officials. Students without proper registration are not allowed to attend the class. The instructor has the right to check students ID's during classes and exams. Students are not allowed to leave the classroom in the middle of the class, except for going to the bathroom, or emergencies. If you know that you have to leave the class early with a valid reason, let the instructor know before class starts.
