MATH 252 Grading Policies and Homework

Course Syllabus 2530 DP 635-1975

Methods of Instruction: Lectures, class discussion, individual and group homework and use of a computer laboratory.

Methods of Evaluating Student Progress: There will be three examinations (20% each), Computer Algebra homework assignments (20% total) and handwritten homework assignments (20% total). Missing the final exam is sufficient reason to fail the course. Aside from that, final grades will be determined by the following scale.

A 100-92%, B 91.9-83%, C 82.9-74%, D 73.9-65% and F below 65%.

Homework grading requirements:Homework will be accepted up to one week late for up to one-half credit. All homework problems will receive grades of full, two-thirds, one-third or zero credit. Software-supported homework may be completed during classroom laboratory visits or on individual student time if an appropriate computer fee is paid. TI-92 calculators are available for room use in the Oakton Des Plaines library.
