How to do well in this class: 1. Have adequate knowledge from Pre-calculus and Trigonometry (some from chapter one). 2. Attend every class. 3. Do your homework.. 4. Review your class notes before you come to the next class.

Honor System   All tests and the final must be pledged. The Honor Code will be strictly enforced in this course.

IMPORTANT: If you are not on the class roll that comes out after the last add date, immediately check your schedule at a terminal and start attending the proper section. For no forseeable reason (computer and registrar personnel mistakes included) will you be allowed to stay in the wrong section or to drop a section for which you are actually enrolled after the last drop date. By simply attending a section you will not be placed on its roll.
