Textbook:       Trigonometry: Graphs and Models, by Barnett, Ziegler, & Byleen

Grades:           Grades will be based on the following:

                        Three exams 27% of the grade each for a total of 81%

                        Quizzes and class participation 16%

 

Grades of A, AB, B, BC, C, D, and F can be earned as semester grades using the following scale: 90-100 A,  85-89 AB,  79-84 B,  74-78 BC,  68-73 C,  60-67 D,  0-59 F

 

No make-up quizzes will be given. The average of all previous quizzes will be used to replace the missing scores for two missed quizzes. There will be no exceptions made on these rules!

 

            You will be assigned to a group of three or four students for at least one quiz taken as a group. You will not be required to meet as a group outside of class, but I strongly encourage you to meet as a group outside of class to study and work together on assignments whenever possible.

 

Attendance at all weekly classes is required. Class attendance will be carefully recorded and will affect your semester grade.

 

          I am allergic to most scented cosmetics, including lotions, perfumes, after shaves, and colognes. Please do NOT wear scented cosmetics to class or when you come for an office visit. Thank you for your understanding. 

 

            Make up exams will be given only for a doctor excused absence or for a funeral if I am advised of the funeral at least one day in advance.

Exam 1:      Monday March 10, Chapter 5

Exam 2:      Wednesday April 23, Chapter 6

Exam 3:      Monday May 12, Chapters 5, 6 & 7

          Complete the assignment for the day after the end of class and before the beginning of the next class. For example the assignment for February 4 should be completed before you arrive in class on February 6.

 

I reserve the right to ask the class to show me a completed assignment at the beginning of any class that I chose with no prior warning of my intention for a particular day.
