Homework:
The purpose of homework is to give students the opportunity to work with and become familiar with the important concepts of the course. Homework will be assigned regularly but will not be graded. Collaborative work on homework exercises is encouraged. You will have the opportunity to discuss homework exercises in class.

Calculators:
Use of calculators is forbidden on tests and the final exam.

Academic honesty and appropriate behavior:
All students are expected to be familiar with and adhere to the policies and standards given in the BSU Student Code of Conduct. In addition, if you must have a cellular telephone or paging device on during class, please sit by the door so you can make a hasty and quiet exit if you are called.

Late work and/or extensions:
If you seek an extension on an assignment and the request occurs after the due date or time, your request will be summarily denied (except in the most extraordinary circumstances). Such requests that occur before the due date and time will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Grading policy:
Your grade will be determined by your performance in four areas: Your grade will be computed via the following algorithm. Let x be the number of points accumulated throughout the semester (between 0 and 100):

A: x > 90
B: 80 < x < 90
C: 70 < x < 80
D: 60 < x < 70
F: x < 60
