Technology: No calculators are allowed on examinations.
Grading: Your grade will be based
on 500 points, as follows:
There will be about 10 Quizes (q), essentially one on each Tueday
except those weeks there is an exam scheduled or it is a holiday. Your two lowest quiz scores will be dropped. There will be no make-up quizes; a missed
quiz will count as one of the two scores to be dropped.
There will be three Hour
Exams (h): The hour exams are given in recitation. Tentative dates: September 18, October 16 and November 20.
There will be a uniform
Final Exam (f) taken by all MTH133 students. The final will count the same as
two hour exams.
This gives a student six
grades: q, h, h, h, f and f, 100 points each. Drop the lowest of these six
grades and average the remaining five grades for your course grades.
There will be no make-up exams.
There will be 10 bonus
points for passing the MTH133 Gateway Exam I and another 10
points for passing the MTH133 Gateway Exam II.
If your final point total
is in the range below, you are guaranteed the corresponding grade:
Point total Grade
450-500 4.0
425-449 3.5
400-424 3.0
375-399
2.5
350-374 2.0
325-349 1.5
300-324 1.0
If the situation warrants,
final grades may be higher than given by this breakdown, but they will not be
lower.
