ATTENDANCE POLICY: It is your obligation to be on time for each class.

MAKE--UP POLICY: Tests will be made--up only in EXTREME cases as determined by the instructor.

HOMEWORK: Students in this class are responsible for knowing how to solve every homework problem, being able to reproduce every example in the textbook and in the lectures, and having a precise understanding of what is going on at any moment of a lecture. $\bf Success$ in this course will require that you solve problems on every day of the semester.

LEARNING THE MATERIAL: The best strategy is to learn the material from the very first time that we cover in the class.

EVALUATION: There will be some home assignments ($10\%$ of the course grade), 3 in--class tests ($50\%$), some randomly given quizzes ($10\%,$ you should be always prepared!), and the cumulative final exam ($30\%$.) As you may see, the Total = $100\%.$

Final exam: Friday, December 5, 8:00--10:00 a.m.

Grading scale: $90-100,\> A; \; 80-89,\> B; \; 70-79,\> C; \; 60-69,\> D$
