HOUR TESTS: There will be four (4) 100 point hour tests and one 30minute quiz. They are presently scheduled for Monday, January 29, Friday,February 23, Friday, March 30, and Wednesday, April 25 with the quiz scheduledlater. You will be given one sheet of paper containing the questions. Writeyour solutions on paper you bring and turn them in with the sheet of questionsat the end of the exam time. In order to allow extra time for the hour tests, cometo class on those days five minutes early and be prepared to stay five minuteslate. Your graded exam will be returned to you no later than the Fridayafter the test is given. The number of points out of 100 (or 50 in the case ofthe quiz) that you received will be written on your paper. If you have anyquestions regarding the grading of your exam, return it to me immediately afterthe class meeting it is returned stating what you wish to have reevaluated. Therewill be no make-up exams. If you miss an hour test or the quiz, your gradewill be determined by the remaining exam scores and the uniform final exam.
FINAL EXAM: The final exam, worth 200 points, will be give on
GRADES: To convert your score on an hour test to a grade, use thefollowing scale:
90-100 = 4.0; 80 - 89 = 3.0; 65-79 = 2.0; 55-64 = 1.0; 0-54 = 0.0
To determine your grade going into the final exam, total the scores of yourfour hour tests and the quiz. Then compare the sum to the following scale:
360 - 400 = 4.0; 340 - 359 = 3.5; 320 - 339 = 3.0; 290 - 319 = 2.5; 260 - 289= 2.0 240 - 259 = 1.5; 220 - 239 = 1.0; 0 - 219 = 0.0
Your course grade will be computed by adding your final exam score to thetotal already computed and comparing that sum to a scale based on 600 points.Adjustments will be made when the situation warrants it subject to theconditions stated in ATTENDANCE and HOMEWORK below.
ATTENDANCE: Attendance will be taken at every class. If you miss five(5) or more class meetings, your grade will be determined by your total scorewith no consideration given for special circumstances. You are expected to cometo class unless you are too ill to attend. Much of the time in class will bespent elaborating on text material, reviewing previous material and explainingconcepts in several different ways. It is important that you are there andattentive every day. In Tuesday's recitation classes new material will often bepresented , but there will be ample time to askquestions about assigned problems that were not answered earlier. In many ofthe recitation classes new material will be presented.
HOMEWORK: You are expected to do your homework on a daily basis. Itwill be collected and evaluated by the teaching assistant, but not used as partof your course grade. However, failure to hand in homework assignments in a timelyfashion will result in your grade being determined by your total score againwith no consideration given for special circumstances. Moreover if yourperformance on a given exam is under par, I may require you to submit homeworkrefusing to grade you next exam if you don't comply.
CALCULATORS AND COMPUTERS: Use of calculators is permitted andencouraged when doing homework problems. They will not be allowed on the hourtests or on the final exam.
CELLULAR PHONES: It would be best not to bring a cellular phone toclass, but if you do, make sure it is turned off.
ACADEMIC HONESTY: The homework you submit must be your own. You mayget help from others and from the
COURSE CONTENT: The precise material to be covered this semester isindicated on the accompanying list of assignments.
READING THE TEXT: Quickly read the section of thetext to be covered before coming to class each day in order to have an idea ofthe material to be covered in class. After class read(and if possible rewrite) your class notes. Then read the text materialthoroughly before attempting the assigned problems. Read the text material tobe covered on each test again when you begin studying for the test. Read it onemore time before the final exam.
TEST QUESTIONS: Most of the problems on the tests will be patternedafter those worked out in the text, those done in class and of course, theassigned problems. In addition there will be questions of a conceptual naturedrawn from the class notes and text material. Before each test you shouldreread your class notes, the text material covered and review problem solvingtechniques. After the graded test is returned to you, it is your obligation tolearn how to solve each test question you missed. If your test grade isbelow 65, then you must hand in complete solutions to all of the test questionstwo class meetings after the test is returned.
TEST-TAKING: Get a good night's rest before the test. Read throughall of the questions and begin by doing first those problems you know you cando. The more challenging questions should be done later. Save the last five minutesor so to proofread your work before handing in the test.
