a

Photo
ID
with

an

and
show
it
to
the

in
your

2. No
books,
bags,
papers,
binders,
or
extra
scrap
paper
can

Prior
to

exam
place
all
of
your
belongings
out
of
sight
under
your
desk.
3. Calculators
are
not
allowed
on
exams
4. You
may
not
ask
any
questions
during
the
exam;
understanding
the
questions
is
a
part
of
the
exam.
If
you
think
there
is
a
typo
or
error,
do
the
best
that
you
can
with
the
given
information.
5. If
you
need
to
leave
the
classroom
during
an
exam
your
test
will
be
collected
and
you
must
leave
your
cell
phone
behind
as
well.
6. You
are
advised
to
bring
multiple
writing
utensils
to
the
exams,
just
in
case.
The
following
policies
apply
to
all
Make‐up
exams
(and
quizzes),
and
no
exceptions
will
be
made.
1. Makeup
exams
may
be
scheduled
in
the
event
you
are
unable
to
attend
the
evening
exams
under
the
following
conditions.
Note
in
particular
that
if
you
must
miss
the
exam
because
of
a
scheduling
conflict,
you
must
notify
your
instructor
before,
not
after,
the
exam,
and
emergencies
require
you
to
contact
your
instructor
within
24
hours.
2. If
your
reason
for
missing
the
exam
as
scheduled
is:
a. (i)
a
University
sanctioned
event
for
which
verifiable
documentation
can
be
provided,
or
b. (ii)
a
responsibility
to
an
employer
that
cannot
be
rescheduled
(with
documentation
from
your
employer),
then
you
MUST
INFORM
YOUR
INSTRUCTOR
48
HOURS
IN
ADVANCE
OF
THE
EXAM
AND
PROVIDE
DOCUMENTATION.
3. Such
events
are
scheduled
in
advance,
so
you
must
provide
advanced
notice
to
your
instructor
in
order
to
have
a
makeup
exam.
Failure
to
provide
this
advanced
notice
will
result
in
a
grade
of
0
for
the
exam.
No
exceptions.
Makeup
exams
must
be
scheduled
after
the
actual
exam,
and
preferably
before
the
class
period
Summer
2015
D.McArdle
when
exams
are
to
be
handed
back,
but
no
later
than
two
days
(excluding
weekends
and
holidays)
after
the
actual
exam.
4. If
the
reason
for
missing
the
exam
as
scheduled
is
due
to:
a. (i)
illness
(with
verifiable
documentation
from
a
medical
provider),
or
b. (ii)
an
emergency
(with
appropriate
documentation),
then
you
MUST
INFORM
YOUR
INSTRUCTOR
WITHIN
24
HOURS
OF
THE
EXAM
and
provide
documentation
upon
your
return.
**If
your
circumstances
do
not
meet
either
of
the
above
(no
documentation,
a
non‐
emergency
excuse
without
sufficient
notice,
etc.),
then
you
will
receive
a
zero
for
the
missed
exam.
No
exceptions.
Please
note
that
since
you
signed
up
for
a
5
week
summer
course
you
need
to
make
the
necessary
arrangements
to
attend
each
class.
Quizzes
In‐class

will
be

May
19th,
May
21st,

26th,
June
2nd,

4th,

and

16th.
The

will
each

points.
The
lowest
quiz
grade
will
be
dropped.
Specifics
about
each
quiz
will
be
given
during
the
preceding
class
period.
Together
the

are
worth
as
much
as

so
it
important
to
study
for
each
quiz.

Summer
2015
D.McArdle
Each
section
that
we
cover
will
have
a
list
of
recommended
problems
associated
with
it.
These
problems
do
not
have
to
be
completed
but
are
a
great
way
to
study
for
the
quizzes
and
exams.
If
you
have
questions
regarding
the
recommended
problems
you
can
ask
them
at
the
start
of
each
class
period.
Attendance
&
Classwork
Attendance
is
required
and
necessary!
Throughout
the
summer
session
there
are
20
class
periods
(the
last
of
which
is
the
final
exam)
and
we
cover
a
great
deal
of
material.
Each
week
we
will
cover
about
3
weeks
of
material
(as
normally
presented
during
a
15
week
semester).
If
you
do
have
to
miss
a
class
please
notify
me
ahead
of
time.
If
an
exam
or
quiz
is
scheduled
for
that
day,
make‐ups
will
only
be
given
in
accordance
with
the
make‐up
policy
stated
above.
Each
week
during
class
you
will
have
the
opportunity
to
work
on
practice
problems
with
your
peers.
This
work
will
be
collected
at
the
end
of
the
week
and
will
be
counted
towards
the
“classwork”
portion
of
your
grade.
Assignments
will
be
worth
a
total
of
15
points
each
week.
Sakai
I
have
created
a
Sakai
webpage
for
this
course.
I
will
use
Sakai
as
an
online
grade‐book
and
will
also
send
out
announcements
and
post
resources.
Sakai
is
our
“HOME
BASE”
so
be
sure
to
check
the

regularly.
Resources

each
section
that
is
taught
can

videos
that
supplement
the

taught
in
class
can
be
