Meeting Times and Locations:

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 ScorePercentageGradeInterpretation

0 - 5990% - 59.9%FYou 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

  1. send me an e-mail before the exam, telling me that you are going to miss it because of illness,
  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 exam.

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: 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.
