Homework, Quizzes and Exams:
During the semester there will be
regularly assigned homework and quizzes, one midterm and
a final exam. Your course grade will be
computed according to the formula:
Grade = HW(30%) + Quiz(20%) + Mid(20%) + Final(30%).
You must take the final exam to pass the course.
Homework should be typed and submitted in pdf form.
(There is a Latex homework template on the course HW page.)
Late homework will not be accepted and missed quizzes
cannot be made up. However, I will not
count your two lowest homework scores nor your
two lowest quiz scores. So, try to do all the HW and quizzes,
and if for some reason you find you are unable to
meet a deadline for HW/quiz consider
that week as one where your HW/quiz will not be counted.
|
Grading:
You will be graded only on your written work.
This work will be judged on the basis of
correctness, completeness, and clarity.
Strings of formulas without explanation will not be accepted.
Paragraph organization (where appropriate), complete sentences
and correct punctuation are expected.

Getting Help:
Don't wait until it is too late if you need help.
Ask questions! I am available
during the office hours listed
here and also at many other times.
If you can't see me during office hours, then make an appointment
with me to see me at a different time. I will also give short
answers to questions sent by email. One can get
help for some lower division math courses in the
Math Academic Resource Center,
and it might happen that someone there can answer
your Math 2001 questions.
