Your grade will depend only on your performance on tests, quizzes and online assignments. All tests are worth 60% of the final grade, the final 25% , the quizzes 15%. The lowest two scores on quizzes  will be dropped at the end of the semester. The score on the final will replace the lowest test score, if it is to your advantage. The final will NOT replace a 0 that you get for missing a test.

Academic Misconduct: Includes (but is not limited to) giving or receiving assistance on a test, quiz, or homework assignment for which such assistance is not permitted, falsifying a document to obtain an excusal from a test, and using unauthorized notes on a test or quiz.  A more complete definition of Academic Misconduct is given in the Student Handbook.  Penalties for Academic Misconduct range from an F in the course to expulsion from the University.

Tutoring Services: The Mathematics Department and the University offers a variety of services, ranging from online videos to free tutoring, designed to help students with their courses. Please visit http://casgroup.fiu.edu/MathStatistics/pages.php?id=1167   for more details.

Classroom Etiquette:  To create and preserve a classroom atmosphere that optimizes teaching and learning, students are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a manner that does not disrupt teaching or learning. You are expected to come prepared to the class, be on time and remain in the classroom for the duration of the lecture. Talking, eating, sleeping, checking e-mail, using a phone, reading a newspaper, preparing for another class, packing up early is disruptive to others around you and to the instructor. Though classroom participation is always welcomed, questions and comments must be relevant to the topic at hand. If you have a question or comment, raise your hand to be recognized. Electronic devices such as cell phones, iPods, and computers must be turned off and put away during class. Student conduct which disrupts the learning process shall not be tolerated and may lead to disciplinary action and/or removal from class.
