GRADING:
There will be 3 one hour exams, each worth 100 points. There will be 4 quizzes and the top 3 scores will be worth 100 points There will be a comprehensive final worth 150-200 points.. At the discretion of the professor, supplemental problems may be assigned for credit. These will be distributed in class and the due date will be announced at that timer. Each student is responsible for obtaining, completing and submitting such assignments by the due date. Grades will be based on total points according to the following percentages, although pluses or minuses may also be used.

Syllabus Addendum on
Flooding
Flooding this spring may
disrupt normal class meetings. If so, the goal will be to complete essential
topics in sufficient depth for students to be given credit for Math 102.
Missing less than one week
will not create a serious problem. I have a priority list of topics we should
cover and that can still be accomplished. If more than one week of classes is
missed, students may need to study some topics on their own. To prepare for this
possibility, I have added a link under my Math 102 menu titled “Assignments and
Flood Information.” This is where I will inform you of sections you should
study, problems you should work, and which worksheets or problems in the text
you are responsible for completing. In addition, Dr. Peil prepared lectures of
Math 102 material for use in an online version of this course. I have viewed
some of them and they are very good. I have put links to these on my web page
under “Assignments and Flood Information.” They should be viewed before
attempting the worksheets. Indeed, you may wish to use these even if classes are
not cancelled. Should classes be cancelled for more than one week, I may require
worksheets to be completed and sent to me to be graded. Worksheets will be
supplied in class before classes are cancelled or through my web page under
“Assignments and Flood Information.” If you have a scanner, completed
assignments can be submitted
by email- otherwise mail them to
