  Gateway Exam: Students will be required to take a gateway exam, which tests basic calculus skills. The Gateway counts 60 points toward your semester total; each of the six problems is worth 12 points, up to 60 points. (Thus you only need to get 5 right to get full credit, but I will keep track of those who get all 6 right, for consideration in borderline cases.) The Gateway will be first given in class, on paper; students who want to improve their scores can take it again on computer in the Math Lab, 18 Avery Hall, or at the Arts & Sciences Testing center, Burnett 127 (see the syllabus for details).

  Signup Directions:
  
  Go to the URL http://calculus.unl.edu/edu/classes/harbM107Fa04. On the student menu, click "Register for this class". Fill in the form. Note that you choose your own login and password. Click "OK" and verify or correct your entries. If you happen to forget your password, register again using the same name and new login. Your instructor can use the system to combine your old records with the new ones.

  Quizzes: Most Thursdays there will be a short quiz, on recently covered material, usually including a problem taken from the syllabus. The bottom two quiz scores will be dropped.
  
  Group Projects: Students in each section will be divided into groups, each group comprising 3 to 5 students. Each group will turn in a group project (to be assigned later) for a group grade.
  
  Tests: There will be three in-class tests. The expected dates of each test are listed on the syllabus. [Sometimes an exam just doesn't go well; who knows why! To help take this into account, your lowest hour exam will be replaced by the final exam percentage IF it is at least a D or better (to encourage a good faith effort) and IF that improves your average (so as not to punish someone whose final does not go well).]
  
  Final Exam: Thursday, 6:00-8:00 p.m., December 16, room to be announced the last week of class. Everyone must take the final exam; do not make plans to leave town before the final. You are expected to arrange your personal and work schedules to allow you to take the final exam at the scheduled time. Students with conflicting exams may be allowed to take an alternate final, but note that the alternate is always given after the regularly scheduled final. No student will be allowed to take the final exam early.

  Grade Scales, Averages and Semester Grades

  There will be three hour exams. In addition, there will be periodic quizzes, a group project, the Gateway Exam and the Final Exam. Your Semester Grade will be determined by averaging your grades on these items with the following weights:
  

                 3 hour exams worth                100 points each
                 recitation quiz average worth     100 points
                 group project worth                40 points
                 Gateway Exam worth                 60 points
                 Final Exam worth                  200 points
  
                 Total                             700 points
