 ** ''Class Presentations (25%)'': Small groups of students will each design and conduct all classroom activities for a class session and will be responsible for the content covered in that session.  Each group will also create homework assignments.
 *** The groups will meet with me two weeks before their presentation for a ''trial run'' so that I will know that you are prepared.  This is not optional.  If you do not meet with me, you will lose half of your possible points.
-** ''Final Project (20%)'': There are mathematics problems that require more attention than just one day.  Some of these problems are, for example, found at the end of the chapters in the textbook. Student groups will complete such a problem and present the results in class  and in a written report during the final period '''Thursday, May 12 at 16:00 – 18:45.'''

 ** ''Class Participation (15%)'': This is a Mathematics class, and, as you know,  Mathematics is not a spectator sport. During class I expect you to participate.  This is an active class where students daily present solutions to their peers.  The participation grade will be based both on the quality and frequency of your contributions.
 * '''Grades.''' Your grade will be based on the percentage of the total points that you earn during the semester.  You need at least 90% of the points to earn an A, at least 80% for a B, at least 70% for a C, and at least 60 % for a D.

 * '''Attendance.''' Due to the nature of the course you are strongly encouraged to attend class every day. I expect you to arrive for class on time and to remain seated until the class is dismissed. Students with six or more absences (excused or unexcused) will be dropped from the course with a grade of "F".
-* '''Drop Policy.''' The class schedule lists '''Friday, April 1''', as the last day to drop with an automatic "W". After the deadline, I can only drop you from the course with a grade of "F". The College of Science has recently adopted the following policy: If students have attempted a course three times without passing (a drop counts as an attempt), they may not take the course a fourth time at UTEP.

 *'''CoVid-19 Precaution.''' Please stay home if you have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. If you are feeling unwell, please let me know as soon as possible, so that we can work on appropriate accommodations. If you have tested positive for COVID-19, you are encouraged to report your results to covidaction@utep.edu, so that the Dean of Students Office can provide you with support and help with communication with your professors. The Student Health Center is equipped to provide COVID-19 testing. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people in areas of substantial or high COVID-19 transmission '''wear face masks when indoors in groups of people'''. The best way that Miners can take care of Miners is to get the vaccine. If you still need the vaccine, it is widely available in the El Paso area. For more information about the current infection rates, testing, and vaccinations, please visit epstrong.org.
