Assessment
Homework problems will be assigned daily. Homework will not be collected or graded, but
you may check your work using the answer guide in the back of your textbook. Keep in mind
that working the assigned problems alone may not be enough for you to master the concepts
covered. To enhance your chances of making a goo d grade, consider working the problems in
each section covered several times. If you feel you still have not sufficiently mastered a
concept, additional problems with solutions may be found in comparable textbooks available
from any college library or from the instructor.
Quizzes
A number of brief (10-15 minutes) quizzes will be given throughout the course. Quiz dates and topics are
announced in advance. No make-up or early quizzes are given under any circumstances; however, since
some of you may have a legitimate reason (medical emergency, death of a family member, extracurricular
UVU activity, etc.) for missing or doing poorly on a quiz, your lowest quiz score during the semester will be
dropped before calculating your final course grade. Unless announced otherwise, all quizzes are closed
books, closed notes, and taken in class under reasonable time constraints. Calculators are allowed only
when deemed necessary by the instructor.
Exams
There will be four exams worth 100 points each and a comprehensive final exam worth 200 points. Unless
announced otherwise, all exams are closed book, closed notes, and taken in class under reasonable time
constraints. Calculators are allowed on exams only when deemed necessary by the instructor. Nearly all
exam problems are similar to problems from the homework or problems discussed in class.
No make up exams or early exams are given under any circumstances; however, since some of you may
have a legitimate reason (medical emergency, death of a family member, extracurricular activity, etc.) for
missing or doing poorly on an exam, your lowest of the four exam scores will be dropped before calculating
your final course grade. The final exam score cannot be dropped. Solutions to the exams are often
distributed to students as they turn in their exams. For this reason, students arriving more than 20 minutes
late for an exam may not be allowed to take the exam for credit.

Academic Integrity
Utah Valley University expects all students to maintain integrity and high standards of individual honesty in
academic work, to obey the law, and to show respect for others. Students of this class are expected to
support an environment of academic integrity, have the right to such an environment, and should avoid all
aspects of academic dishonesty. Examples of academic dishonesty include plagiarizing, faking of data,
sharing information during an exam, discussing an exam with another student who has not taken the exam,
consulting reference material during an exam, submitting a written assignment which was authored by
someone other than you, and/or cheating in any form. Violators of this policy will be subject to disciplinary
action. Cheating will not be tolerated. It will result in a FAILING grade for the course.
In keeping with UVU policy, evidence of academic dishonesty may result in a failing grade in the course and
disciplinary review by the college. Additional information on this topic is published in the student handbook
and is available on the UVU website.
