MATH 1090 Algebra and Trigonometry
Evaluation Scheme

The grade may be awarded on the basis of the final examination alone, if that is better for an individual student.

Each quiz will be conducted during the last 20 minutes of a regular Wednesday lecture period.
In the event that classes are cancelled on the day of a quiz, that quiz will be rescheduled for the next MATH 1090 lecture period.

Quiz 1	2002 Jan. 30	Unit 1	10%
Quiz 2	2002 Feb. 20	Unit 2	10%
Quiz 3	2002 Mar. 13	Unit 3	10%
Quiz 4	2002 Mar. 27	Units 4, 5	10%

No deferred quizzes will be offered.   If a student is absent from a quiz for good cause, then the missing quiz score will be replaced by the average of the other three quiz scores.   If a student is absent from a quiz without good cause, then that student’s score for that quiz will be zero.

There will also be problem sets of practice questions, (approximately one set each week).   While these questions will not be marked (and will not count directly towards the final grade for this course), it is in a student’s own best interest to make an honest attempt at all questions in each problem set.   These questions are intended to provide the practice essential for a good performance in the quizzes and the final examination.   Solutions to problem set questions will be posted on this web site approximately one week after the presentation in class of the material that they cover.

The prerequisite for this course is either a combination of placement test and high school mathematics scores acceptable to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics (as specified in the University Calendar, page 257, regulation 7) or successful completion of MATH 104F.
Also check the Calendar for any credit restrictions between MATH 1090 and other courses.

The Help Centre (HH-3015) will begin operating during the second week of classes.   Hours will be [to be announced].

In all quizzes and in the final examination, calculators with any graphics or programming capabilities are not permitted.
