There are three midterm exams and one final exam. A midterm exam, lasting one hour, will cover materials lectured since the previous midterm exam. The final exam is comprehensive. Quizzes, lasting 15 minutes, will be given weekly in Wednesday classes except for the weeks of exams. There might be some exceptions that will be announced in class. A quiz will cover materials lectured since the previous quiz. Homeworks will be assigned, but no homework will be collected.

Absence from exams:

Your two lowest quiz scores will be dropped. No makeup quiz will be given. Missing a mid-term exam is permitted only for the most compelling reasons. You should obtain my permission in advance to miss an exam. Otherwise you will be given a $0$. If you are excused from taking an exam, a makeup will be arranged in my office hours. Except in extraordinary situations, all students missing the final exam will fail the course.

Graphing calculator:

Students in MAT 2030 are required to purchase a programmable graphing calculator. The department currently offer support to TI85/86 or the HP-49G and HP-48GX.
