EXAMS:          There will be three exams, each counting 100 points.  In 
addition, there is a comprehensive final worth 200 points. Each exam counts, and 
NO grades will be dropped.  There will be no extra credit.  Grades will be 
computed as follows, and there will be NO curving of grades:

A       450 - 500 points
B       400 - 449 points
C       350 - 399 points
D       300 - 349 points
F       0 - 299 points

You will have TWO CLASS DAYS from the date that an exam is returned to check the 
exam and look for errors in grading.  If errors in the grading are found, 
highlight them in yellow and hand the entire exam back in to be checked.  Exams 
that have not been picked up within two class days after the exam has been 
returned will be destroyed.

Makeups for missed exams will be only given in the following two cases.  In all 
other cases, the exam counts 0 points.:

Sickness:  In case of a sudden sickness, it suffices to call me, send an email, 
or leave a message with the Mathematics Department (844-4290) on the day of the 
exam.  This message has to be received before the exam is over. Failure to 
contact me or the Mathematics Department before the exam is over will result in 
loss of the privilege to take a makeup exam.  Furthermore, you need to show a 
statement by a physician that you were too sick to attend school on the day of 
the exam.  Without a physician's excuse, no makeup will be given.  Scheduled 
visits to a physician's or dentist's office are NOT a valid excuse for missing 
an exam.  Please reschedule the visit.

University Excuses: Students have to show all documentation verifying the excuse 
before the exam. Student athletes have to make arrangements with the Athletics 
Department for having the exam proctored if they cannot take the exam in class 
at the scheduled time.

The time and place of makeups will be announced in class.  It is your 
responsibility to obtain this information if you are absent when it is 
announced. 

You will be responsible for all your work.  I will NOT communicate with your 
parents concerning your performance.  Federal law does not permit me to share 
any information with them. 

FINAL:  The final will be May 2, 2008 from 9:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.  Do not 
purchase airplane tickets to leave before this date.  This is not a valid excuse 
to miss the final, nor are weddings (even your own!).

ATTENDANCE:     Auburn University requires class attendance.  You will be 
assigned a seat, and your attendance will be checked by determining if your seat 
is occupied.  If you arrive late to class or leave before the end of class, you 
will be counted as absent.  If you have more than three unexcused absences, you 
will receive the grade FA  regardless of your performance.  An absence will be 
excused only if you can provide a University excuse or missed class due to a 
documented sickness.  This excuse has to be shown the next time you attend 
class.  Scheduled visits to a physician's office do NOT constitute an excused 
absence.  Please reschedule the visit.  Seat assignments will NOT be changed 
unless you have a documented disability that requires you to have a different 
seat.

Dishonesty:     Any academic dishonesty will be reported to the Academic Honesty 
Committee.

Students with Disabilities:  Please contact me as soon as possible.
