Worksheets:
Worksheets will be done in groups of 4 people. They will be assigned
during the lecture hour and will be due, the same day, at the end of the lab
hour. Each person in the group must submit the assigned
worksheets. They will be stapled together, but only the top one will be
graded. Please put each group name on the front set that will be
graded. Each worksheet will be graded out of 5 points. They must be
legible and handed in on time or your lab assistant cannot accept them.
Late worksheets will receive credit only under exceptional circumstances, and
must be handed to the instructor for such consideration. The worksheets
will be graded daily by your assigned lab assistant. Worksheets 1, 2, and
3 may be handed in until June 16 without penalty.
Participation
Your lab assistant will assess this in labs; he or she will set specific
guidelines. Participation will mostly be based on class and lab attendance, as
well as contribution to worksheet work.
Quizzes:
Each Tuesday of a non-exam week, your lab assistant will administer a brief (10
minute) quiz which will be directly based on a short list of homework
problems from the text covering material from the previous week of class.
Homework:
A short list of homework problems related to the material covered each week
is provided. Although the problems will not be collected, it is in your
best interest to do them, as the weekly quizzes (see above) will be based
directly on them. Furthermore, some exam problems will relate to the
homework assignments.
Exams:
There will be three in-class exams (each worth 100 points). They will
cover material from class notes, the book, worksheets, and homework
assignments. The tentative exams dates are:
Exam 1 – Wednesday, June 23
Exam 2 – Thursday, July 8
Exam 3 – Wednesday, July 21
Final –
Thursday, August 5
Honesty Policy:
Exams must be completed individually. No group work or outside
assistance is allowed. Any student found to have engaged in academic
dishonesty (i.e. cheating. in any form, on an exam) will receive a zero on the
exam and be subject to further University disciplinary action.
Make-Up Exam Policy:
Exams will be taken on the scheduled dates and times. If there exists
a conflict due to a school-sponsored event, notify your instructor (by e-mail)
a minimum of one week in advance of the exam to schedule a make-up time.
If there is an extreme unforeseen emergency on the day of the exam (i.e.
illness requiring a doctor's visit, death in the family etc.) contact your
instructor (by e-mail) within 24 hours of the scheduled exam. The course
coordinator, if necessary will make final decisions about make-up exams.
ADA Statement:
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that reasonable accomodations
be made for students with disabilities. If you need such assistance,
please contact your instructor as soon as possible.
Overrides:
Neither the instructors nor the course coordinator are authorized to give
an override into the course. If you have an extreme issue and need to
take the course (i.e. graduating senior etc.) please talk to the associate
chair of the mathematics department, Dr. Jim Thomas.
His office is located in Weber 101.
