For additional information, see the Study Guide.

Homework will be assigned but not collected. Two Tests will be given. Quizs will be given weekly, and a cumulative score will be recorded. The Final Exam is the third Test. 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.
Tentative Test Dates: January 30, March 6.
Final Exam: Monday, 3/18/2019, 1400-1600.

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
