Textbook: College Algebra by stewart, Redlin & Watson 4th edition
Chapters covered: Chs P-8, However, some sections will be omitted and some
sections stressed more than others.

Homework: There will be many homework grades given.  The homework
gives part of your grade,but the main importance is to get you ready for the 

Exams: There will be 3 (100 point) exams over roughly each third of the material.
Exams will consist of approximately 10% from daily questions asked in class.
(Nearly each day I will ask and give an answer to a question in class to
stress some point I feel is important).  The rest of an exam will consist
of questions similar to homework questions.

Final: There will be a comprehensive (100 point) final exam that will only cover
material corresponding to the 3 regular exams.  The final is a second or
third chance to show you've learned the material.  Study hard for the final.

         3 Exams                                                               300
         Final Exam                                                            100

Also the Final Exam score will replace your lowest test score if it helps you.  If 
you are close to a higher grade I will look at many factors, especially quality and
quantity of homework grades and your Final Exam score.
