      instruments, and a two-variable scientific calculatorsuch as the

      Date and Time of Comprehensive Final Exam To Be Announced.

      GRADING;  Each assignment, quiz, and exam will be assigned a point
      value.  Quizzes may be unannounced.  The final exam will be worth
      either 250 points or 1500 points whichever is to your advantage.
      If, for example, there are 620 points not counting the final
      exam, then the final exam will be worth either 250 points out of
      870 points for the course or 1500 points out of 2120 points for
      the course, whichever is to your advantage.  At the end of the
      semester I will total your points and convert the total to a
      percent and grade as follows:

      A 90 - 100%     B 80 - 89%     C 70 - 79%     D 60 - 69%     F 0 - 59%

      MAKE-UPS;  Daily assignments, quizzes, and extra credit assignments
      cannot be made up but I will drop your 12 lowest points.  Reports may be
      turned in late but I will deduct 5 points for each week or fraction of a
      week that the report is late.  Exams cannot be made up if for any reason
      you are not in class but I will drop your lowest exam grade excluding the
      final exam.

      EARLY WORK: You may submit reports but not daily assignments or quizzes in
      advance for days when you expect to be absent from class but I will drop
      your 12 lowest points.  Exams cannot be taken early if you know in advance
      that you will be unable to attend class on a day when an exam is scheduled
      but I will drop your lowest exam grade excluding the final exam.

      WRITING:  Unlike most math courses, this course counts as both a math
      course and a writing course.  Writing assignments should be written as if
      you were writing them for an English teacher.  A guide to the writing
      assignments will be handed out during the third week of class after you
      have learned enough statistics to be able to write about it.

      LEARNING LAB:  If you wish to meet with a student tutor, go to the Math
      Leaning Lab B2-36 to make an appointment.  You may receive up to 1 extra
      credit point per week for your tutoring sessions in the Learning Lab if
      you bring back a statement signed by the tutor.

      Students who want to be tutored in the Learning Lab are encouraged to
      form weekly study groups because the number of Math 150 tutors is very
      limited.  If several students are able to meet at the same time on a
      weekly basis and if no Math 150 tutor is available at that time see Gail
      Chaskes in the Math Learning Lab B2-36 about forming a weekly study
      group.  Ms. Chaskes will try to arrange for a math specialist to meet
      once a week with the study group at the desired time.

     If you would like to earn some extra money and are willing and able to
      tutor Math 118 or a higher level course see Gail Chaskes in the Math
      Learning Lab B2-36.  The more courses you can tutor the better.
      Generally you need to know the course at the A level in order to tutor
      a particular course.

      ATTENDANCE AND PROMPTNESS:  Attendance will be taken daily as required
      by the college.  Three latenesses count as one absence.  If you are
      absent more than once through February 4 or more than twice through
      March 1, I will report to the college that your attendance is
      unsatisfactory.  If you are absent more than twice through April 9
      you should discuss your situation with me.  Otherwise you may be dropped
      from the course.
           If you are on financial aid and must miss class more than once
      through February 4 or more than twice through March 1 you should
      discuss your situation with me.  Otherwise your financial aid may be
      discontinued.

       INCLEMENT WEATHER:  In the event of inclement weather there are several
       ways of determining whether CCP is open.  You may listen for CCP's
       school closing number 238 on KYW radio at 1060 on the AM dial or check
       KYW's school closing web page at http://www2.kyw1060.com/schools/ or
       for 95 cents a call you may call KYW's school closing phone number at
      1-900-737-1060.  Usually if SEPTA is running close to normal then CCP
       will remain open.

      GIFTS:  To avoid any appearance of impropriety no gifts of any kind will
      be accepted.
