The e-text is packaged as boxed software with an installation CD and Student Notebook containing screen captures of all PowerPoint slides. Texts are available at the U of A bookstore.Math 115a - PoliciesCourse Materials Textbook and registration number found inside the CD case. Math 115a Course Files. Blank CD-R's, CD-RW, Zip Disks, or 3-1/2 Floppy Disks (as a last resort); as needed for reports and homework.Math 115a - PoliciesClass Attendance Attendance is mandatory.

Any student who misses the first day may be administratively dropped from the course. Any student who misses three or more classes during any one project must complete the project alone for a reduction of points. Any student who is excused from class for attendance at an officially authorized event must provide a written excuse signed by the Dean of Students no later than one week after the absence. Math 115a - PoliciesElectronic devices such as cell phones, pagers, watch alarms, etc. must be turned off during class meetings.Cell phones CANNOT be used as calculators. They are viewed as a form of communication on an exam, and therefore a form of cheating. Appropriate measures will be taken.

The exact date will be announced well in advance. The final examination is scheduled on Tuesday, May 9th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Unless there are extenuating circumstances (in which case the student has 24 hours from the time of the exam to contact the instructor to make other arrangements), a missed midterm examination or a missed final examination will result in a score of zero for that work. Math 115a - PoliciesExaminations Each midterm examination will be worth 100 points, and the final examination will be worth 200 points. If a student earns a higher percentage on the final examination than on one of the midterms, then the student’s lowest midterm score will be replaced by the percent scored on the final examination. Students must supply their own calculators on exam days. Absolutely no calculator sharing will be accepted. (No cell phones!!)
