Course Math 32A (C- or better).
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 or on VOH. Please use the class email account for questions or issues not related to homework problems. 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 still due. TAs will help with those homework problems during their office hours. If time permits, the TAs will cover supplementing material to the lecture.
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 will be dropped.
Homework will be returned in your discussion section.
Date Time Location Exam Friday, April 20th 12:00-12:50 p.m. Moore 100 1st Midterm Friday, May 18th 12:00-12:50 p.m. Moore 100 2nd Midterm Monday, June 11th 3:00-6:00p.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 under any circumstances. You must bring a picture ID to the exams. No graphing calculators, computers, or notes are allowed during exams.
Before exams are returned in discussion, I will take a random selection of exams to be copied. 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.
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.
