| Exams: |
Quizzes : A quiz is
a short exam. In these sections there will be a weekly quiz at the
beginning of class. These will usually be closely based on the recent
homework. The
dates for quizzes will be available from discussion leaders and will be
announced well in advance of the quiz date. There will be no make-ups.

Midterm
Exams: There will be two
midterm exams, These are lengthy exams given, as scheduled on
peoplesoft, on the evening of October 6 and November 10 from 6--8 PM.
Make-ups for students with verified conflicts, will be given immediatly
after the regular time, from 8--10 PM; permission from your instructor
is required. Rooms will be listed, by section, on the main class page.
Be sure to go to the room for which your section is scheduled.

| Final exam : There will be a
final
exam covering all the
material of the course. The final exam will take place Friday, Dec.
18 1:00-3:00pm. |
| Homework:
There will be regular
homework assignments, to be completed over the internet with webassign.
Each problem has a fixed value that
is clearly indicated. You have five tries at each problem. If you get
one wrong then
webassign tells you it's wrong and when you try again the point value
of the problem will
sometimes be reduced by fixed percent (each try). I recommend that you
print out a copy of your homework and work on it
away from the computer before going back and inputing your answers. |
Gateways:
The gateway exam is a test of basic integration skills. The exam will
be given around October 1. If you do not pass, then you will have an
opportunity to retake the exam, on line in the Mathematics Mac Lab
(MSB 203). The exam can be retaken as often as needed up through
October 30. Practice versions
of the gateway exam are available along with the homework, through
WebAssign and will be graded
online. Calculators are
not allowed to be used while taking these exams.
If you do not pass the gateway by October 30 then you have failed the
gateway. The
consequence of failing the gateway is
that your final grade, based on the exams, quizzes, projects and
homeworks, will be reduced by a full
letter. You do
not want to fail the gateway |
