     To promote fairness to the students, to provide more
uniformity in the structure of the Pre-Calculus and Calculus
classes, and to better prepare the students for more advanced
courses, the following procedures must be observed.

     1.   The syllabus must be adhered to closely in order to have
an adequate amount of time to cover the important material an the
end of the course.  Don't try to speed up at the end; it doesn't
work.  Establish a brisk pace at the beginning and maintain it.

     2.   All tests must be closed book tests.  Formula sheets are
not to be used during the tests.  In each of these courses, there
is a certain amount of basic knowledge that the student must master
in order to succeed in subsequent course work.  The student must be
required to learn and memorize the important trigonometric
identities, logarithm and exponential properties, differentiation
formulae, integration techniques, series expansions, etc.  It will
be assumed in subsequent course work that the student has a
reasonable command of these, without having to resort to notes,
formula sheets or books.

     3.   Final examinations should be cumulative, although extra
emphasis may be given to the material in the latter part of the
course.

     4.   All students are to be required to take the final
examination.  No one should be exempted by virtue of his or her
previous average.  No one's grade on the final exam may be
"dropped".  A student's performance on the final should be a
significant part of his or her grade in the course.

     5.   All courses must be met for the full period.  The amount
of material in each course demands this.  Anyone who consistently
starts class late or ends early is cheating the student.
