| Grading system: | 90% <= A- < 91% <= A |
| HW & Quizzes: 25% | 80% <= B- < 81% <= B < 89% <= B+ < 90% |
| Exam 1: 25% | 70% <= C- < 71% <= C < 79% <= C+ < 80% |
| Exam 2: 25% | 60% <= D- < 61% <= D < 69% <= D+ < 70% |
| Final: 25% | F < 60% |
GRADING & EXAMS: All work must be shown in order to receive credit. This holds for all exams including the final, all quizzes, and homework. Important note: If no work is shown, you may receive zero credit even if your answer is correct.
HW is worth 12.5% of your grade. HW will be graded quickly based upon completeness and correctness. You are responsible for checking your answers. Odd problem answers can be found in the back of your textbook. Even problem answers will be provided either in discussion section or via HW grading. Quizzes will be worth 12.5% of your grade. Except for the first quiz, we will drop your lowest two quiz scores. The first quiz will be worth double a normal quiz and cannot be dropped. The first quiz will be Feb 1.
2 exams and a final will be given. Dates and locations TBA. You are required to bring identification to all exams. You are required to pick up your exams and keep them until the end of the semester. The final exam will be cumulative. The final is tentatively set for 12:00 P.M. Wednesday, May 09 2007. This could change, however, when the firm Final Exam Schedule comes out later in the semester.
THERE IS NO CURVE IN THIS CLASS, but improvement may be taken into consideration.
If there is a mistake in
grading, you must report this mistake within one week from when the
exam, homework, etc. has been handed back to the class (whether or not
you picked up your exam, homework, etc).
Your grades will be posted on ICON.
Sections to be covered: We will cover most of chapter 1 - 6 and some supplementary material as time allows. You should read all sections/handouts/web material corresponding to covered material and/or assigned problems. There may be test questions related to this reading even if not covered in class.
Attendance and absences: Your attendance at each scheduled class meeting and discussion section is expected. You are responsible for material covered in class and announcements made during class; these may include changes in the syllabus. Absences from exams will require a compelling reason, and must be arranged with your instructor in advance.
You may collaborate with other students on the homework; however, each individual student is responsible for turning in your own homework in your own words. Copying is not collaboration and will be prosecuted under scholastic dishonesty. Any significant collaboration should be acknowledged.
Policy on Scholastic Dishonesty: Students who violate
University rules on scholastic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary
penalties, including the possibility of failure in the course and/or
dismissal from The University. Since such dishonesty harms the
individual, all students and the integrity of The University, policies
on scholastic dishonesty will be strictly enforced.
Notes to Student:
1.) The Department of Mathematics has offices in 14
MLH. To make an appointment to speak with the chair of the
department, call 335-0714 or contact the Departmental Secretary in 14
MLH.
Procedure for Student Complaints: If you have any complaints or concerns about his course, I ask that you discuss them with me or the TA. If we cannot resolve the matter to your satisfaction and you wish to take the matter further, you may contact the Chair of the Mathematics Department in 14 MLH. Complaints should be brought to the attention of the instructor, department, and, if necessary, the associate dean, as soon as possible. Only in extraordinary cases may a complaint procedure begin six months after the time of the incident. For a full description of this policy see the College's Student Academic Handbook, http://www.clas.uiowa.edu.
2.) I would like to hear from anyone who has a disability which may require seating modifications or testing accommodations or accommodations of other class requirements, so that appropriate arrangements may be made. Please contact me during my office hours.
This course is given by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
