POINTS	LETTER GRADE	NUMERICAL GRADE
450 or more	A	90-100
400-449	B	80-89
350-399	C	71-79
300-349	D	70

APPLICATION EXERCISES:
Following every lecture students will have suggested homework problems to work plus an "Application Exercise." The application exercises must be submitted to the instructor at the beginning of the following class day. Each application exericse is worth 1 pt. Application exercises will not be accepted late.

QUIZZES:
Each day following a lecture the instructor will administer a 4-point quiz comprised of problems representative of the suggested homework problems. Quizzes cannot be taken late nor can they be made up. Besides preparing for the quizzes, students should also work the suggested homework.

ATTENDANCE:
Attendance is a necessary component of the course. The instructor may withdraw a student for non-attendance, but it is the student's responsibility to drop the class if he or she wishes to withdraw. April 13 is the last day to drop the class.

MAKEUP POLICY:
The midterm exam may be made up if missed for good reason. If a student misses the midterm, they should contact the instructor as soon as possible. A different version of the midterm exam will be made available by appointment. Quizzes cannot be made up. Students who will miss for school events should prepare for these absences by working ahead. The final exam cannot be made up.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR:
Disruptive behavior, cheating, plagiarism, and academic dishonesty can all lead to severe disciplinary sanctions. Students should refer to the Temple College Student Handbook regarding policies dealing with academic integrity and disruptive behavior.

CELL PHONES:
Cell phones should not be used during class. Cell phone usage during the midterm or final exam is cause for a grade of zero.
