Mathematics: Elementary and Beyond
Homework: There will be
ten 10-point assignments given throughout the semester.
Quizzes: There will be
ten 10-point quizzes given at random throughout the semester, testing
material
Exams: You will
have two 50-minute in-class exams, worth 100 points each, and one
cumulative final
exam, during finals week, worth 200 points
Attendance:
Attendance is mandatory. I will be taking attendance most days.
Final Grade: With homework, quizzes, regular exams and the
final, you will have 100 + 100 + 200 + 200 = 600 points
available. You will receive:
at least an A if you get > 539
at least a B if you get > 479
at least a C if you get > 419
at least a D if you get > 359
Notes: There are no
make-up exams available after the fact. It is the responsibility of the
student to
stay on top of the material, by doing the reading and attending the
classes. If you miss a class, see the website,
me or another student to find out about announcements, material
covered, etc... DO NOT FALL BEHIND! This is the kiss of death in any
mathematics course, especially one like this, where the material is at
times rather
abstract, new material builds on old material and there are frequent
definitions. Remember, you learn math by
doing it, not by watching it. You must work in this class in order to
succeed; and often, time spent on the
homework makes the difference.
