Attendance
Studies show that attending class is extremely important. Your chances of success are greater if you
attend class. The person teaching class will also be writing and correcting the exams, so it is good to
know how she thinks! I will keep track of attendance and follow the standard rules for compliance.

Grades
There will be two exams, one on March 16 and one on May 3. You will be allowed to use regular
calculators. Midterm: 40%. Final: 50%.
UFABC has created quizzes on TIDIA for this course, in Portuguese. They will be required for this
course, and will represent 10% of your grade.
The English MVC course will also have its own TA and additional (harder!) questions. They will count
as extra credit. They will provide those of you interested in more challenging questions with a way to
improve your knowledge of the subject. You can earn up to 5% extra by doing these challenging
questions.
