Discrete Mathematics: Elementary and Beyond
Homework: There will be ten 10-point assignments given throughout the semester.
Quizzes: There will be ten 10-point quizzes given at random throughout the semester, testing material
Exams: You will have two 50-minute in-class exams, worth 100 points each, and one cumulative final exam, during finals week, worth 200 points
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory. I will be taking attendance most days.
Final Grade:
With homework, quizzes, regular exams and the final, you will have 100 + 100 + 200 + 200 = 600 points available. You will receive:
at least an A if you get > 539
at least a B if you get > 479
at least a C if you get > 419
at least a D if you get > 359

Notes: There are no make-up exams available after the fact. It is the responsibility of the student to stay on top of the material, by doing the reading and attending the classes. If you miss a class, see the website, me or another student to find out about announcements, material covered, etc... DO NOT FALL BEHIND! This is the kiss of death in any mathematics course, especially one like this, where the material is at times rather abstract, new material builds on old material and there are frequent definitions. Remember, you learn math by doing it, not by watching it. You must work in this class in order to succeed; and often, time spent on the homework makes the difference.
