Exams: If it is to your advantage, your lowest exam score will be replaced with your final exam score. There will be no make-up exams. If you miss an exam, that exam's score will be the one replaced by your final exam score. You should not miss two exams, nor miss the final.
Quizzes: your lowest quiz score will be dropped. A missed quiz will be your one dropped quiz.
Webassign: 10% of your webassign assignments will be dropped. Answers are released after the due date, so it is not possible to make-up homework.
You are expected to do more than just attend class. You are expected to stay on top of the material. This includes being able to participate in class, reading past and future material in the book, doing recommended exercises, studying notes from previous lectures, and doing homework.
Attendance will be taken but it will not be a formal part of your grade.
We will use webassign for homework, and everyone needs to purchase access codes. Our class key is ua 9383 0624. Go to the webassign website and click "I have a class key" (underneath "Log-in") and follow the instructions.
All students in attendance at the University of Alabama are expected to be honorable and to observe standards of conduct appropriate to a community of scholars. The University expects from its students a higher standard of conduct than the minimum required to avoid discipline. Academic misconduct includes all acts of dishonesty in any academically related matter and any knowing or intentional help or attempt to help, or conspiracy to help, another student.
The Academic Misconduct Disciplinary Policy will be followed in the event of academic misconduct.
In the case of a tornado warning (tornado has been sighted or detected by radar, sirens activated), all university activities are automatically suspended, including all classes and laboratories. If you are in a building, please move immediately to the lowest level and toward the center of the building away from windows (interior classrooms, offices, or corridors) and remain there until the tornado warning has expired. Classes in session when the tornado warning is issued can resume immediately after the warning has expired at the discretion of the instructor. Classes that have not yet begun will resume 30 minutes after the tornado warning has expired provided at least half of the class period remains.
UA is a residential campus with many students living on or near campus. In general classes will remain in session until the National Weather Service issues safety warnings for the city of Tuscaloosa. Clearly, some students and faculty commute from adjacent counties. These counties may experience weather related problems not encountered in Tuscaloosa. Individuals should follow the advice of the National Weather Service for that area taking the necessary precautions to ensure personal safety. Whenever the National Weather Service and the Emergency Management Agency issue a warning, people in the path of the storm (tornado or severe thunderstorm) should take immediate life saving actions.
When West Alabama is under a severe weather advisory, conditions can change rapidly. It is imperative to get to where you can receive information from the National Weather Service and to follow the instructions provided. Personal safety should dictate the actions that faculty, staff and students take. The Office of Public Relations will disseminate the latest information regarding conditions on campus in the following ways:
