Math 201: Calculus I |
|
|
Instructor: Dr. Jennifer Bergner |
Phone: 677-5429 |
|
Office: HS 114 |
Semester : Spring 2005 |
Homework: Homework will be assigned on
the homework link of this webpage. I will not collect all of this for a grade
HOWEVER your weekly quizzes will be taken directly from assigned problems.
There were will be a few problems collected every two weeks for a grade. This are indicated by “Homework #n” and highlighted. I do not accept late homework.
Quizzes: There will be quizzes on the day that we meet for lab. They will be given at the beginning of
class. These will cover homework
material and class discussion. No
make-up quizzes will be given. The
lowest three scores will be dropped. Some of these will be on webct, others
will be on paper. During quizzes,
students are asked to turn off their cell phones and will be required to close
all email and other electronic methods of communication. The computer can only be used during quizzes
for access to webct and when indicated, to access Maple. Failure to close all electronic methods of
communication will result in an F for the particular quiz.
Exams: There will be periodic in class exams (3 or 4). The exam dates and material covered by them will be announced in class. It is the student's responsibility to find out what announcements he/she missed by coming late, leaving early, or missing class. There will also be a final exam during the exam period. A make-up exam will be allowed, provided that "official" documentation explaining your absence is supplied and notification of your absence is given prior to the exam by e-mail or phone message. During exams, students are asked to turn off their cell-phone.
Final exam: This is a mandatory exam.
To earn an A in the class a student must obtain at least a C on the
final. An F on the final will drop the
student at least one letter grade ( e.g. if you have an 89% before the final
you will be dropped to a C).
Class
Participation and Attendance: Attendance is highly suggested, however I reserve the right to
not repeat lessons over material that was covered in a class session you chose
not to attend. If you miss class it is your responsibility to learn the
material covered and to make yourself aware of any announcements. Attendance to lab sessions is required, you
will receive a deduction from your lab write-up for missed labs. You also take
quizzes on lab days, hence you do not want to miss these days.
Laboratory Exercises: This class meets once a week in the computer lab and there
will be regular lab reports due. The quality of writing in lab reports is an
important component of the lab write-up.
See attached lab exercises statement. I do not
accept late labs for any reason other than extreme personal emergencies. If you miss a lab, you are given the
opportunity to replace this score with the bonus lab that is assigned at the
end of the course.
Grading
Policy:
Course grades will be assigned as follows: A= 90% or higher, B= 80-89%, C=
70-79%, D= 60-69%. Your performance will
be weighted as follows:

homework 30%

100%
Class
Format: Primarily
informal lectures with questions encouraged at appropriate times. If
appropriate there will be collaborative group work and student presentations of
problems and exercises. During lab sessions
you will be encouraged to work together on the calculus, please refrain from
too much socializing during labs as this hinders others and yourselves. Please try to come to class on time! If for
some reason you must be late, enter quietly and try to avoid disturbing the
lecture.
