Class Work
Late assignments cannot be accepted without a university-approved excuse. You can either contact me directly, or go through the Dean of Students (http://www.students.uidaho.edu/dos/) who will take care of contacting all of your professors about absences. Traveling for vacation is not a valid excuse for missing scheduled assignments and quizzes. There will be no makeup work without PRIOR notification and consent. No exceptions.
Quizzes
There will be six (6) quizzes in class and are set in the schedule. A "cheat" sheet (formula sheet) will be allowed on every quiz; it is to be both sides of one (1) 8.5" X 11" piece of paper that you can write formulas and the likes on for your quizzes. You will also need to bring your calculator.
Homework
There will be six (6) homework assignments and will be found on BbLearn. Completing the assignments will be essential to your understanding of the material. You will have 5 attempts to get the maximum points on every assignment.
