Successful completion of MTH 112 (Calculus II) with a grade of 2.0 or better.

Assignments:

Homework will be assigned but not collected or graded. Many assigned problems will be reviewed and explained in class.

Grading:

Course grades will be determined as follows:


There will be a minimum of four (4) examinations. There may also be computer assignments during the semester. All tests and assignments will aggregate to 70% of the course grade. A cumulative final examination will be given and will be worth 30% of the total grade. Failure to take any test or submit any project/assignment will result in a failing grade for the course. You must receive a passing grade in the final examination to receive a passing grade for the course.


All work is to be your own - any instances to the contrary will result in a zero grade for that event. Any further instances will result in a failing grade for the course. (Any of the aforementioned instances will be reported to the Academic Deans).

Class attendance is highly encouraged. Should you miss a class for any reason, you are still responsible for all announcements and all material presented during that class. Attendance will be taken and will affect borderline grades. Please note that the Wilkes Student Handbook states that after five consecutive instructional hours of unexcused absences from a class, students may be readmitted to the class only by action of the Office of Student Affairs and the department chairperson concerned.
