    Grading:

    Grading for Section 101 (Class Number 7894), taught by Mark Barsamian

    During the semester, you will accumulate a Points Total of up to 1000 possible points .

    • Online Homework: 93 assignments, with total points rescaled to 40 points possible
    • Quizzes: Best 8 of 10 quizzes @ 25 points each = 200 points possible
    • In-Class Exams: Best 3 of 4 exams @ 170 points each = 510 points possible
    • Final Exam: 250 points possible

    At the end of the semester, your Points Total will be converted into your Course Letter Grade .

    • A grade of A, A- means that you mastered all concepts, with no significant gaps.
      • 900 - 1000 points (or more) = 90% - 100% (or more) = A
      • 850 - 899 points = 85% - 89.9% = A-
    • A grade of B+, B, B- means that you mastered all essential concepts and many advanced concepts, but have some significant gaps.
      • 800 - 849 points = 80% - 84.9% = B+
      • 750 - 799 points = 75% - 79.9% = B
      • 700 - 749 points = 70% - 74.9% = B-
    • A grade of C+, C, C- means that you mastered most essential concepts and some advanced concepts, but have many significant gaps..
      • 650 - 699 points = 65% - 69.9% = C+
      • 600 - 649 points = 60% - 64.9% = C
      • 550 - 599 points = 55% - 59.9% = C-
    • A grade of D+, D, D- means that you mastered some essential concepts.
      • 500 - 549 points = 50% - 54.9% = D+
      • 450 - 499 points = 45% - 49.9% = D
      • 400 - 449 points = 40% - 44.9% = D-
    • A grade of F means that you did not master essential concepts.
      • 0 - 399 points = 0% - 39.9% = F

    Note that although this grading scale may look easy compared to the usual 90,80,70,60 scale, it is actually not easier. The reasons are:

    • The letter grades in this course mean the same thing as the letter grades in other courses.
    • When I grade homework and exams, I give out fewer points. (In this course, if you do grade C work on a 20 point exam problem, you will get between 11, 12, or 13 points for the problem. That is in the range 55% - 69.9%. But in somebody else's course that uses the 90,80,70,60 scale, you would have gotten 14 or 15 points for the problem. That is in the range 70% - 79.9%.)
    • There is no curve.

    Course Structure:

    Course Structure for Section 101 (Class Number 7894), taught by Mark Barsamian

    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.

    • Textbook Readings: To succeed in the course, you will need to read the textbook, study the examples in it, and work on the "matched problems" that accompany the examples. Many of the examples are exactly like exercises on the Homework, Quizzes and Exams.
    • Lectures: In lecture, I will sometimes highlight textbook material that is particularly important, sometimes present material in a manner different from the presentation in the book, and sometimes solve sample problems. We have 51 lectures, totaling 2805 minutes. It is not possible to cover the entire content of the course in 2805 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.
    • Office Hours: Come to my office for help! My regular office hours are 8:45am - 9:30am Mon - Fri. If those times are not good for you, I am sometimes available at other times as well, but just not at a regular day & time. Call me, or email me, or talk to me after class to set something up.
    • Tutoring & SI: For information about Tutoring and Supplemental Instruction (SI), go to the following link: Student Resources
    • Online Homework: Farther down this web page, you will find a long list of Homework Exercises. (The list is also printed inside the back cover of the Course Packet.) The goal of the course is for you to be able to solve the exercises on that list. These exercises will be the content of your online homework .
    • Written Work that is Graded: During class meetings, you will take Quizzes , and Exams . They are all based on the Homework Exercise List (mentioned above) and on Class Drills.
      • Quizzes: There are ten Quizzes. These are roughly 10-15 minutes long and are given at the end of class on the dates shown in the calendar above.
      • In-Class Exams: There are four In-Class Exams. These take an entire class period and are given on the dates shown in the calendar above. The amount of content on an In-Class Exam is roughly four times the amount of content on a Quiz.
      • Final Exam: The final exam is given on the date shown in the calendar above. The amount of content on the Final Exam is roughly twice the amount of content on an In-Class Exam.
      • Importance of Clarity in Written Work: Note that on the quizzes and exams that you take, the goal is to present solutions to problems, not merely come up with answers. You are graded on the clarity and correctness of your presentation of the solutions to the problems. Here is a short Style Guide for your written work:

        Style Guide for Written Solutions to Mathematical Problems

        On the quizzes and exams that you take, the goal is to present solutions to problems, not merely come up with answers.

        • All details of calculations should be presented clearly, with explanations for key steps.
        • All steps of a calculation need to be correct for the calculation to be considered correct. A calculation where multiple mistakes somehow cancel each other and give a correct answer is just as incorrect as a calculation where a mistake leads to a wrong answer.
        • Answers should be simplified, unless you are specifically instructed to not simplify.
        • Everything that you write should be in sentences.
          • Of course, any prose that you write should be in sentences.
          • But also note that mathematical symbols are just abbreviations for things that can be written in prose sentences. So really, all your mathematical symbols should be written in sentences, too.
        • Mathematical expressions should be presented in equations with a correct left side.
        • When you start a calculation of a new quantity, write it on a new line.
        • Work in fractions and symbols, not mixed fractions or decimals.
          • For example, write \(\frac{7}{3}\) instead of \(2\frac{1}{3}\) or 2.33
          • For example, write \(\sqrt{3}\) instead of 1.73
          • For example, write \(\frac{1}{e^2}\) instead of .135
        • The square root symbol is fine. But for more complicated expressions, use fractional exponents instead of complicated radical notation.
          • For example, both \(x^{1/2}\) and \(\sqrt{x}\) are fine.
          • But write \(x^{5/3}\) instead of \(\sqrt[3]{x^5}\)
        • Final answers should be written with positive exponents.
          • For example, write \(\frac{1}{e^2}\) instead of \(e^{-2}\)

    Attendance Policy:

    Attendance Policy for Section 101 (Class Number 7894), taught by Mark Barsamian

    Attendance is required for all lectures and exams, and will be recorded using sign-in sheets.

    Missing Class: If you miss a class for any reason, it is your responsibility to copy someone's notes or download my notes from the course web page, and study them. I will not use office hours to teach topics discussed in class to students who were absent.

    Missing a Quiz or Exam Because of Illness: If you are too sick to take a quiz or exam, then you must

    1. send me an e-mail before the quiz/exam, telling me that you are going to miss it because of illness, then
    2. then go to the Hudson Student Health Center.
    3. Later, you will need to bring me documentation from Hudson showing that you were treated there.
    Without those three things, you will not be given a make-up.

    Missing Quizzes or Exams Because of University Activity: If you have a University Activity that conflicts with one of our quizzes or exams, you must contact me before the quiz or exam to discuss arrangements for a make-up. I will need to see documentation of your activity. If you miss a quiz or an exam because of a University Activity without notifying me in advance, you will not be given a make-up.

    Missing Quizzes or Exams Because of Personal Travel Plans: Seven of the ten quizzes and all four of the in-class exams are on Fridays. Students often ask me if they can make up a quiz or exam, or take it early, because their ride home is leaving earlier in the day. The answer is always, No you may not have a make-up or take the quiz or exam early. You will just have to change your travel plans or forfeit that quiz or exam.

    Policy on Cheating:

    Policy on Cheating for Section 101 (Class Number 7894), taught by Mark Barsamian

    If cheat on a quiz or exam, you will receive a zero on that quiz or exam and I will submit a report to the Office of Community Standards and Student Responsibility (OCSSR).

    If you cheat on another quiz or exam, you will receive a grade of F in the course and I will again submit a report to the OCSSR.

    Calculators and Free Online Math Resources:

    Calculators and Math Websites

    Calculators:

    Calculators will not be allowed on quizzes or exams.

    Websites with Useful Math Resources:

    In lectures, I often use a computer for graphing and calculating. The computer tools that I use are free online resources that are easily accessible at the following link.

    Link to Free Online Math Resources

    I use the same online resources in my office, instead of a calculator. You are encouraged to use these same free resources at home, instead of a calculator.
