Grading Policy
The course grade will be determined on a 10 point scale (90% or better A, 80-89 B, etc.) There will be four exams (12% each),
a comprehensive final exam (25%) and a quiz grade (27%). Since a major objective of the course is to learn about derivatives, one
of the exams will be a "gateway" exam. To pass the course, every student must get a 90% or better on this exam. The exam will be offered
multiple times starting around the middle of the semester. It will consist of nine differentiation problems and one tangent line problem.
The problems are graded on an all or nothing basis
Attendance Policy
The attendance policy in the student handbook will be followed.
Academic Honesty
