    Course Expectations and Grading

  • Lecture and Discussion participation: 10%;   You are expected to attend all lectures and all discussion meetings and in particular be active in class.
  • Homework: 0%;   At the end of this syllabus you can find the "suggested" homework assignments. You don't need to hand in any homework.
  • Write ups: 15%;   In each Discussion, you will work on a couple of problems in a small group of 4-5. We call them "workshop" problems. At the end of each week, only one problem will be indicated to write up. You are expected to write all the steps of the solution in an organized and coherent fashion. There will be ~10 workshop assignments. The main goals of this assignment are to learn how to "collaborate" and how to "write mathematically".
  • Quizzes: 20%;   There will be ~10 quizzes given in Lecture or in Discussion.
  • Midterm 1 and 2: 40%;  Dates??
  • Final exam: 20%;  Date?

    • Calculator and Cell phone

  • A graphing calculator is optional for this course. You can use the calculator in solving homework and workshop problems and bring it to Discussion. However, it is not allowed during the quizzes, midterms or the final exam.
  • Please don't use your cell phone during the Lecture or Discussion. Feel free to leave the class to answer any emergency call or text message.

    Strong Recommendations

  • Solve all the suggested homework problems by yourself.
  • Don't be shy and ask your questions in class.
  • Go to your TA and instructor's office hours and ask your questions.
  • Go to Math Tutorial Lab and ask your questions.

    Workshop Problems

  • The worksheets will be posted on the website of the course, often one day before the Discussion meeting. You should bring it to the Discussion.
  • One problem will be indicated to write up each Thursday night in the website.
  • Your written solutions are due to the next Thursday, in the beginning of the Discussion meeting. NO LATE WRITE-UPS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT A GOOD REASON.
  • Do you have a low quiz or write up grade and would like to make it up? You can do a small project! Talk to your instructor no later than the thanksgiving break!
