Homework will be assigned but not collected. Two 50 min Tests will be given during the term; the Final Exam is the third Test. Quizs will be given weekly, and a cumulative score will be recorded. The Grade for the course is determined by the best three of these four scores. Test, Quiz and Final Exam problems come directly from the assigned Homework.Test Dates: October 10, November 2.
Final Exam: Wednesday, December 5, 12:00 noon, LINC 345.
Students With Disabilities: Accommodations for students with disabilities are determined and approved by Disability Access Services (DAS). If you, as a student, believe you are eligible for accommodations but have not obtained approval please contact DAS immediately at 541-737-4098 or at http://ds.oregonstate.edu. DAS notifies students and faculty members of approved academic accommodations and coordinates implementation of those accommodations. While not required, students and faculty members are encouraged to discuss details of the implementation of individual accommodations
TUTORING:
General Chemistry and Mathematics In-Hall Tutoring Hours
Fall tutoring hours will begin on Week 3. They will be taking place in Sackett Hall near E/H wing.
