The dates for the quizzes and midterm exams are subject to change if the instructor determines during the course of the semester that alternate dates would better meet the needs of the class.

All quizzes and exams will be closed book and calculators will not be permitted, nor will they be required.  You do not need to algebraically or arithmetically simplify your answers.

Cheating or academic dishonesty on any graded course material (exam, quiz, assignment, project, etc.) will be prosecuted to the fullest extent in accordance with university policy.  Please see the course webpage for more information.  Students are expected to uphold the university's honor code.  See http://honor.unc.edu/.

Make up quizzes and exams will not be given for any reason.  Except for the case of emergencies, if a quiz or an exam is going to be missed, the instructor must be contacted prior to the quiz/exam via e-mail or by calling my office (2-4324).  In the case of emergencies, you should contact me as soon as it is possible.

Grading concerns:  We will gladly regrade any problem.  Such concerns must be brought to the instructor's attention within a week of its return to the class.

In order to fully learn the material, it will be essential to practice.  A list of suggested problems is provided on the website.  This is a rather minimal list.  The text contains many additional exercises and was chosen in part due to these exercises.  If you need additional problems, please consult the instructor. 

Students are particularly encouraged to come to office hours for assistance.  Additional assistance can be found through the Math Help Center.  Please see the website for hours, locations, etc.

At the end of the semester, you will, as usual, be given the opportunity to fill out course evaluations.  Suggestions withheld until this point, however, cannot be implemented to improve the current course.  Instead of waiting, you should feel free to give me feedback throughout the semester!  If anonymity is desired, simply type your suggestion and slide it under my door or place it in my mailbox.  Constructive suggestions are welcome at all times!
