| Attendance |
| Students are
expected to be regular in attendance. Excessive absences may affect your
grade negatively. In case of an absence, it is YOUR responsibility to find
out what was missed and make it up promptly. Tests that you have missed
must be taken within one week of a regularly scheduled test. Makeup tests
are usually more difficult and are graded more stringently than regular
tests |

|
Students are expected to have all homework assignments completed in a neat
manner and in good form BEFORE coming to class. On assignments that indicate--
all calculations to be shown on paper --calculations must be shown to receive
full credit. Quizzes and in-class assignments cannot be made up. All work
assigned and not turned in on the due date will have the score reduced 20%.
Assignments will not be accepted when they are more than two weeks late.
|
| Approach |
| Lecture-discussion--in
class problems. Students are expected to participate in class discussion.
The exact problems to be assigned as homework will be handed out prior to
each unit. |
| Course
Description |
| The course
covers practical applications of addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, decimals, fractions, percentages, discounts, simple interest,
compound interest, present value, discounting notes, interest on installment
loans, and amortized mortgage loans, to the problems of everyday business
and accounting. This is an ideal math refresher course for business students.
IN ORDER TO EARN A PASSING GRADE, ALL TESTS MUST BE TAKEN. |
| Withdrawals
and Incompletes |
| An automatic
"W" will be assigned to any student withdrawing from this course
in the first 12 weeks. This "W" will be assigned regardless of
the quality of work. After 12 weeks, a "W" will be assigned only
if the course work is passing at the time of withdrawal. A grade of "I"
(incomplete) will be assigned to students whose work is incomplete in a
MINOR way. This will be granted only for critical situations. |
