Attendance will be recorded daily.Announcements of any changes in the syllabus, test dates or assignments will be made in class.HOMEWORK:Working homework problems is the best preparation for quizzes and tests. You will useCourseCompass to do your homework. The problems are similar to the problems presented duringlecture. Each problem can be completed as many times as needed. Simply click on the “SimilarExercise” button and redo the problem until you have a perfect score. You may practice theproblems as many times as you need to in order to master the knowledge and skills to do well onthe tests and quizzes. The score from the last attempt is kept as the grade for that section. Use theGRADEBOOK if you want to review a problem once you have completed it. The immediatefeedback, guided solutions, and examples are great help. You can ask questions from yourinstructor, teaching assistants, or other students. It is recommended that you print thecompleted homework so that you can refer to them in class and use them to study for the quizzesand exams. The homework grade will be calculated by taking the average of all the homeworkassignments. You are expected to spend at least two hours outside of class for each hour of classtime. Late homework is not allowed.The homework should be done gradually and not on the due date.Make sure to redo the problems on your own once after getting help. Some studentscomplain that they can do the homework but fail the quizzes. In the majority of those cases,the grade on the test and quizzes will drastically increase if you redo a problem after gettinghelp.
You need to have a notebook with the homework problems you are doing prior to keyingyour answer in the computer. This will help you with preparations for quiz and test reviews.At the time of each hourly exam, the notebook is checked and 20% is subtracted fromyour final homework grade if you don‟t maintain this notebook. You can print thehomework assignment and show your work in the provided space. You may keep these notesin a binder instead of showing your work in a notebook.In case you have done the problem correctly but the computer counted it wrong, click on the“Ask My Instructor” button. Write down that you have the problem correct in the body ofthe message. Your grade will be changed if it is verified that you have the correct answer andonly after the due date for the homework assignment. You can also print the messageshowing your answer and the correct answer and show it to your instructor.QUIZZES:There is a quiz over the material from the homework assignment each week.
