ALEKS:

You are required to complete the ALEKS Assessment and, if necessary, the learning component of ALEKS. You must complete all of this before the first exam (Sept 23) to receive credit. If you do not complete this then you will receive a 0 for the ALEKS portion of your grade.
To sign up for ALEKS send me an email: blake@math.wustl.edu

Homework, Schedue, Handouts:

Suggested homework is not turned in.

Homework is done on WeBWorK

Calculators:

While you are free to use any calculator for your homework, you will only be allowed to use a non-graphing calculator for exams. Something like this TI-36 will be more than sufficient.

Exams:

You will be allowed a 3 by 5 "cheat card" for the exam (both sides). Put whatever you want on this card.

Grades

The basic calculation will be as follows:

10%	ALEKS
18%	Homework
18%	Exam 1
18%	Exam 2
18%	Exam 3
18%	Final

Your grade on your final may replace the grade of one of other three exams (if it benefits you). The effect of this will be to give weight to the final.

Grading scale without divisions for plus/minus. The scale may be adjusted slightly, in your favor, at the end of the semester.

F D C B A

0-50 50-60 60-70 70-85 85-100

Pass/Fail Policy: You must get at least a C- to earn a "Pass".
