All relevant information about this course will be communicated to you using your LSCPA email and via Blackboard. You should check your email daily, and regularly log in to Blackboard to check for any announcements you may have missed. Please refer to Blackboard (or the syllabus) before emailing me with any non-math related questions, as most of the answers to such queries can usually be found there.

Homework:
All homework will be done online using MyMathLab, accessed through Blackboard. Please log in to Blackboard for instructions on how to set up your account. You do need to log in and get started as soon as possible. Homework assignments for each unit of material will be due during the last week of the semester. Your homework average will count as 20% of your final grade.

Unit Exams:
There will be a total of 3 unit exams, occurring at regular intervals throughout the semester. Exams will be administered in class. The dates for the exams are given on the course schedule located on Blackboard. There will be no extensions or make-up exams, for any reason whatsoever. If you are unable to take an exam on the date shown on the schedule, you must let me know beforehand so that we can make other arrangements. Each exam grade will count as 20% of your final grade.
