 '''Quizzes:'''  There will be 4 quizzes, one every week except for the first and last weeks.  I'll post the material to study ahead of time, on this website, linked here, or under the first heading: '''Materials:''' [[Objectives:_Math_151|[Objectives]]]
-'''Homework:'''  Homework problems will be administered through MyMathLab.  There will be time to work on these problems in class.  You are expected by the next class, however the due date is not until the following week.  After the due date, you will not be able to submit work to MyMathLab.  In general, I don't consider it a good policy to extend these deadlines.  A week is enough time, and if more time is allowed, some students will fall behind in a way that will be detrimental to their final grade.
+'''Homework:'''  Homework problems will be administered through MyMathLab.  There will be time to work on these problems in class.  I anticipate that many students will finish the problems in class, however I expect you to finish or try to finish any remaining problems before the subsequent class.  That said, the due date will be midnight two classes (one week) ahead, so you can get help from me during the next two class or during office hours following class.  After the due date, you will not be able to submit work to MyMathLab.  In general, I don't consider it a good policy to extend these deadlines.  A week is enough time, and if more time is allowed, some students will fall behind in a way that often proves detrimental to their final grade.
 '''Class Etiquette:''' Please participate in class by asking questions when you do not understand something.  Invariably other students benefit from these questions.  Please engage in discussions, and please engage with the class, generally.  I find it easier to give good lectures when students are asking questions, and engaging with the material.

 '''Attendance and Participation Policy:'''  You are expected to attend all classes.  Attendance and participation is worth 10% of your grade.  If you miss class repeatedly, you will be in danger of losing all points in this category.  If you need to miss class for an acceptable reason, please email me, and have your absence excused by the Dean of Students.  To be allowed a make up on a quiz, you must have your absence excused by the Dean of Students.
