Due to the size of the class these times and dates are firm. Contact me if there is a medical emergency before the exam. A Doctor's note is required for a midterm or final makeup! Grades will be on a curve and your relative statistical performance to the class grades counts, not your absolute numerical performance. For example, if you have a 95 average and the class median is 98 (not likely) you will get a B.
Preliminary Grading Policy:
Homework and Projects - 15%
Midterms and Quizzes- 55%
Final - 30%
Academic Honesty:
All students admitted to the
This statement is a reminder to uphold your obligation as a student at the University of Florida and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this class and all others.
Students requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Office. The Dean of Students Office will provide documentation to the student who must then provide documentation to the instructor when requesting accommodation.
