Homework: See attached homework
statement (under construction).
Homework will be assigned daily and a subset of problems collected at
the beginning of class each Wednesday unless otherwise noted.
Journals: These will be emailed to me once every three
weeks, approximately five of these for the class. See attached “What is a
journal?” statement. Some of these will be directed journal entries, others will be reflections on how your learning is
going. They will not be accepted late, late postings
will earn a 0. When appropriate you may
be asked to write some of your journals by hand, otherwise, they must be typed and
submitted through our homepage at webct.
Quizzes: There will be quizzes every Friday, taken electronically, except during
weeks in which an exam was given. These
will cover homework material and class discussion. No make-up quizzes will be given. The lowest three scores will be dropped.
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.
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.
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.
Grading
Policy:
Course grades will be assigned as follows: A= 90% or higher, B= 80-89%, C=

be weighted as follows:

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.
