Special Needs: If you have a physical, psychiatric, or learning disability that requires accommodation, please let me know as soon as possible so that your needs may be appropriately met.
Grading: During the semester, you will accumulate points:
| WebAssign: | 50 points possible |
|---|---|
| Paper Homework: | 50 points possible |
| Group Projects: | 50 points possible |
| Exams (4 exams, 150 points each): | 600 points possible |
| Final Exam: | 250 points possible |
| Total: | 1000 points possible |
At the end of the semester, your Total will be converted to your Course Grade:
| Total Score | Percentage | Grade | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
|
900 - 1000
|
90% - 100% | A-, A | You mastered all concepts, with no significant gaps |
|
800 - 899
|
80% - 89.9% | B-, B, B+ | You mastered all essential concepts and many advanced concepts, but have some significant gaps. |
|
700 - 799
|
70% - 79.9% | C-, C, C+ | You mastered most essential concepts and some advanced concepts, but have many significant gaps. |
|
600 - 699
|
60% - 69.9% | D-, D, D+ | You mastered some essential concepts. |
|
0 - 599
|
0% - 59.9% | F | You did not master essential concepts. |
Attendance: Attendance is required for all lectures and recitations, and will be recorded by a sign-in system.
Missing Class: If you miss a class for any reason, it is your responsibility to copy someone�s notes and study them. I will not use office hours to teach topics discussed in class to students who were absent.
Missing an Exam Because of Illness: If you are too sick to take an exam, then you must
- send me an e-mail before the exam, telling me that you are going to miss it because of illness,
- then go to the Hudson Student Health Center.
- Later, you will need to bring me documentation from Hudson showing that you were treated there.
Missing Exams Because of a University Activity: If you have a University Activity that conflicts with one of our exams, you must contact me before the exam to discuss arrangements for a make-up. I will need to see documentation of your activity. If you miss an exam because of a University Activity without notifying me in advance, you will not be given a make-up exam.
Cheating on Exams: If cheat on an exam, you will receive a zero on that exam and I will submit a report to the Office of Community Standards and Student Responsibility (OCSSR). If you cheat on another exam, you will receive a grade of F in the course and I will again submit a report to the OCSSR.
Course Structure: One learns math primarily by trying to solve problems. This course is designed to provide structure for you as you learn to solve problems, and to test how well you have learned to solve them. This structure is provided in the following ways:
- Suggested Exercises: are listed in a table on on page four of this syllabus. The goal of the course is for you to be able to solve all of the Suggested Exercises . They are not to be turned in and are not graded, but you should do as many as possible and keep your solutions in a notebook.
- Textbook Readings: T o learn how to do exercises, to succeed in the course, you must read the book.
- WebAssign:
WebAssign is a computerized homework system, accessible through Blackboard. (More information about accessing WebAssign can be found at this link:
( Accessing WebAssign
))
You will have frequent WebAssign assignments, of two types:
- Reading Quiz: A college course is much more effective if you read each book section before coming to a lecture that covers that section. The Reading Quizzes will test whether you have read the book. They will consist of a small number of basic problems from a book section to be covered in the next lecture. The problems will be similar to book examples and similar to Suggested Exercises .
- WebAssign Homework: These will consist of basic, intermediate and advanced problems from book sections that we have covered in class. Note that in class we will discuss general concepts and do only a few examples. The problems on the Skills Check will often be different from our class examples. Even so, they will always be similar to Suggested Exercises .
- Paper Homework: It is important to be able to write math in a way that other people can understand. Paper homework assignments will help you practice that skill. About once a week, you will be assigned a problem similar to a Suggested Exercise to solve and turn in on paper. These will be graded on accuracy and also on neatness and clarity of explanation. You are encouraged to work together, but collaborating does not mean copying. You may solve problems together, but the words you write and turn in should be your own. If students work together, the result should be a higher quality of work, with fewer errors. When I grade homework, if I find identical wording, identical math, and identical mistakes in different students� papers, I will deduct points. Late homework papers will not be accepted.
- Group Projects: In Recitation and sometimes in Lecture, you will be given Group Projects. Details about the groups, the projects, and the grading will be presented in the first week.
- Lectures: We have 41 lectures, totaling 2255 minutes. It is not possible to present the entire content of the course in 2255 minutes, and the lectures are not meant to do that. Lectures are meant to be a supplement to your reading the textbook and solving problems. In lecture, I will sometimes highlight book material that is particularly important, sometimes present material in a manner different from the presentation in the book, sometimes solve examples, and sometimes give you group work assignments.
- Exams: will be problems based on the list of Suggested Exercises .
- Final Exam: will cover the entire course and will be problems based on the list of Suggested Exercises .
Suggested Exercises: The goal of the course is for you to be able to solve the 461 exercises in this table. These exercises are not to be turned in and are not graded, but you should do as many of them as possible and keep your solutions in a notebook for study.
