HOMEWORK: The surest way to succeed in MATH 282 is to study each day. To aid you in your study, homework problems will be assigned each day. Most of these will be collected and graded. Be sure to show your work neatly on these papers and to complete your work on time. Homework will be accepted one day late without penalty, but after one day late papers will be discounted at the rate of 20% per day.

Calculus problems are expected to be challenging. Consequently, you should set aside at least 8 hours per week for study. If at any time you feel that you are falling behind, see the instructor immediately.  Assignments should be folded lengthwise, and you should place your name, “MATH 282”, the date, and the problem section number on the outside of your paper.  This information should also be included on the inside of the first page of your homework.

QUIZZES: Occasionally quizzes may be given over the lectures and homework.

TESTS: Three 50-minute tests will be given during the quarter. These tests must be taken during the scheduled class period.

FINAL EXAMINATION: This test is scheduled for 8-9:50 a.m., Tuesday, March 18. Attendance is required, so make your travel plans early with this appointment in mind.

CLASS ATTENDANCE: Students are expected to attend all classes. In addition, students are expected to give their full attention to the class discussions. Modifications in the homework assignments or test schedule may be announced in class.

DISABILITIES: If you have a physical and/or learning disability and require accommodations, please contact your instructor or the Special Services office at 527-2090. This syllabus is available in alternative print formats upon request. Please ask your instructor.
