Class Meetings This course will meet four days a week. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays class will be conducted by your instructor. Please feel free to ask questions in lecture, though none regarding homework problems. I do many problems during class and I am more than happy to help you with homework problems during my office hours, by VOH or email.On Tuesdays or Thursdays your TA will lead a discussion. In your discussion section, the TAs will do homework problems that have been turned in and answer questions, except those about homework problems that are not yet due. TAs will help with homework problems during their office hours. If time permits, the TAs will cover supplementing material to the lecture.
Homework Homework assignments and their due dates can be found here. No late homework will be accepted under any circumstances.It is crucial that you do the homework in a timely fashion. You should expect to spend at least five days each week, two hours each day on homework. Homework must be stapled, legible, and complete. Every question must be answered in the form of a complete grammatical unit, either standard English or standard math notation. For example, an answer to the question, "what is y?" could be
"y = x – 37", but not just"x – 37" .Designated readers will grade the homework, though not every single problem, but just a few per assignment. The two lowest homework scores can be dropped.
Homework will be returned in your discussion section.
Exams
Date Time Location Exam Friday, February 2nd 9:00-9:50 a.m. WG Young CS 76 1st Midterm Friday, March 2nd 9:00-9:50 a.m. WG Young CS 76 2nd Midterm Monday, March 19th 3:00-6:00 p.m. Franz 1178 Final Exam These times and dates are fixed in stone, so make sure now that you have no conflicting plans. No make up exams will be given. You must bring your student ID to the exams. No graphing calculators, computers, or notes are allowed during exams.
Before the midterms are returned, I will take a random selection of midterms to be copied before they are returned. So when you come back for a regrade, make sure you know what you added later on to the exam and what was originally there.
After each of the midterms is returned I will post a deadline on the exams page on the web until which regrades can be requested. Be aware that a regrade means that your exam will be graded from scratch, and it is possible that you will receive a lower score than originally given if I decide that the original grade was too high.The final exam will be cumulative.
Math Help Besides the Professor's and TA's office hours additional help is available M-R 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. in the Student Math Center located in MS 3974, where undergraduates math majors as well as graduate math majors will be able to help you with mathematics.
