Instructor: Gábor Hetyei

Text: College Algebra, sixth Ed., by Michael Sullivan.

Topics: See the attached tentative schedule.

Attendance: Required. Each class missed reduces your total score by 0.5% (but not to exceed 10%). You will be fully responsible for materials missed. No excuses are accepted (except for activities mandated by another UNCC department), but you will have five "grace" absences to cover for emergencies.

Quizzes and Webwork: There will be in-class quizzes about every second week, and weekly problem sets will be posted online using Webwork. Your Quiz score will be based on your performance on these assignments. Instructions on registering to and using Webwork are be posted on the homepage of the class.

Tests: Test 1: Monday February 9, Test 2: Friday March 5, Test 3: Wednesday April 14.
Tests will be held in class.

Common Final: Thursday May 6, 11:30 am - 2:30 pm.
The place of the final exam will be given later by the department.
The Departmental Final Exam is cumulative. Missing the Final Exam will result in an automatic F Grade regardless of your performance on other exams.

No makeups: There will be NO make-up quizzes or tests. The worst one of the following will be dropped: Quiz score (includes Webwork), one of the test scores. If you do extremely well on the final I will be willing to calculate your score based on: Attendance 10%, Quiz 13%, each Test 13%, Common Final 51%. If you miss a test for some emergency and you provide valid documentation, I will replace the score of the test missed by the average score of the two other tests (before dropping the worst score).

Evaluation: Grades will be based on: Attendance 10%, Quiz 20%, each Test 20%, Common Final 30%. (The worst of the four 20% items will be dropped.)
Tentative grading scale: 90 - 100 % A, 75 - 89% B, 60 - 75% C, 50 - 60 % D, 0 - 50% F

Class meeting: MWF 12:00-12:50 pm in Denny 200.

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, counted as absent twice, and 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. An attempt to sign the attendance sheet and leave may be counted as two absences.
