Attendance: Students are expected to attend every scheduled class and to be familiar with the
University Class Attendance policy as it appears in the General Catalog. It is the student’s
responsibility to keep informed of any announcements, syllabus adjustments or policy changes
made during scheduled classes. Students are expected to behave in accordance with the Student
Code of Conduct and the Code of Academic Integrity. The guiding principle of academic
integrity is that a student's submitted work must be the student's own. University policies can be
found at http://dos.web.arizona.edu/uapolicies. I will be taking attendance daily.
All students must come ON TIME for class and NO TALKING DURING THE LECTURE.
Preparing for class: YOU MUST READ THE RELEVANT LESSON (ACCORDING TO THE SYLLABUS)
BEFORE YOU COME TO CLASS. I will assign PREPWORK daily. I will be collecting all PREPWORK at the
beginning of class.
Homework/ Quizzes:
Homework will be submitted in two formats throughout the semester. A computer grading
program called WebAssign will be used for problems assigned from the text. Student accounts
can be purchased on-line at http://www.webassign.net. Your login and initial password will be
provided by me(WebAssign initial login information sheet). Hand-written homework
showing all work with proper notation will also be submitted. Late homework submissions will
not be accepted. In-class quizzes may also be given. A final homework/quizzes score based
on 100 possible points will be assigned (75 points from the computer graded assignments and
25 points from the hand-written assignments/In-class quizzes). Homework is an essential
component of the course, whether it is assigned for grading or not.

bottom of the page.
Answers for Each problem should be neatly written, with all intermediate steps included and the
problem number clearly marked. Written explanations should be included whenever appropriate. Include
units on answers. Graphs should be labeled, with the window clearly marked. You need to show all
workings to earn full credit.
You will not be given credit for problems that are not legible.
Selected homework will be graded and returned at a regular basis.
