Exam Information

There will be two mid-term exams, both held during normal class hours, and a final exam. On each exam, you will be allowed to bring in one sheet of paper containing any notes that you want. This must be readable without supplemental magnification (beyond corrective lenses). All electronic devices (including calculators, but especially cell phones) must be OFF during all exams. Please bring your student ID with you to each exam.

Grading Scheme

Make-up exams will not be given, and you must take the final exam in order to pass the class. However, the lowest homework score will be dropped, and your ultimate score will be the maximum of the following two scores:


Quizzes (15%) + Midterm 1 (25%) + Midterm 2 (25%) + Final (35%)
or
Quizzes (15%) + Better of Midterms 1 and 2 (35%) + Final (50%)

If you have any complaints about grading, including improper recording of scores, you must bring your complaint to the attention of the instructor within 14 calendar days of the date the assignment in question was due, or exam in question was written, and before the final exam. Grading complaints not brought forward in this time frame will not be considered.

Grades will be viewable on MyUCLA.

Course Outline

We will follow the mathematics department's course outline, with a few modifications (see the information regarding exams for more information about what will be covered on each exam).
