This rule will be strictly enforced. Written documentation must be provided before you will be permitted to take a make-up exam. In the event of illness, you must bring a note from a physician stating that "you were too ill to attend class that day”. (A note showing you were at the Student Health Services is not enough.) For absences that could have been foreseen (e.g., Religious observation, jury duty), you must inform your instructor prior to the exam in order to take a make-up. For any participation in a University activity, you must have a note from the coach or advisor stating that you will not be able to attend class. Talk to your instructor first.MATH 111 Spring 2006 Lecture-Homework-Examination Schedule Date________ Section_ Exercis es________________________________ Wed Jan. 25 6.1 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,17,21,25,27,29,31,33,37,41,45, 47,51 Fri Jan. 27 6.2 3,5,7,9,11,13,15,19 Mon Jan. 30 6.2 21,23,25,27,29 Wed Feb. 1 6.3 1,4,5,9,11,14 Fri Feb. 3 6.3 15,17,19,21,23 Mon Feb. 6 6.4 1,3,5,7,11,15,19,23 Wed Feb. 8 6.4 27,31,35,37,39,41,49,56 Fri Feb. 10 6.4 57,58,61,63 Mon Feb. 13 7.1 1,5,7,10,13,17,21,23,27,33,35 Wed Feb. 15 7.2 1,3,5,9,23,31,33,37 Fri Feb. 17 Review for Exam I Mon Feb. 20 Exam 1 Wed Feb. 22 7.3 1,7,13,15,21,25,27,31 Fri Feb. 24 7.4 1,3,5,9,13,17,19,23,27,33 Mon Feb. 27 7.5 1,3,5,7,9,11,17 Wed Mar. 1 7.5 19,21,27,29 Fri Mar. 3 7.5 33,35,39,41 Mon Mar. 6 7.6 1,3,5,7,9,11 Wed Mar. 8 7.6 15,17,21,27,31 Fri Mar. 10 7.6 33,35 Mon Mar. 13 8.1 1,3,5,9,11,13,15 Wed Mar. 15 8.1 16,19,24 Fri Mar. 17 8.2 1,3,5,9,11,13,15 SPRING BREAKMon Mar. 27 8.2 15,19,22,25,39 Wed Mar. 29 Revi ew for Exam 2 Fri Mar. 31 Exam 2 Mon Apr. 3 8.3 1,3,5,7,11,13 Wed Apr. 5 8.3 19,25,27 Fri Apr. 7 8.4 1,3,5,7,9 Mon Apr. 10 8.4 11,13,15,17,21 Wed Apr. 12 8.4 23,25,29,31,35 Fri Apr. 14 Handout Mon Apr. 17 8.5 1,3,5,7 Wed Apr. 19 8.5 9,11,13,15 Fri Apr. 21 8.5 17,19,20 Mon Apr. 24 8.6 1,3,5,7 Wed Apr. 26 8.6 9,11,13,15,17,19,21 Fri Apr. 28 Revi ew for Exam 3 Mon May 1 Exam 3 Wed May 3 Handout Fri May 5 Handout Mon May 8 Revi ew Wed May 10 Revi ew Final Examination Saturday, May 13, 2006 1:30-3:30 P.M.
