Class Policy
Lectures,
discussions, material in the text and homework are all intended to compliment
each other. No one is a replacement for
any of the others. You are responsible for
all material covered via any of these sources.
Each Thursday (except the week of an exam) in discussion there will be a
10 point quiz covering current material.
The lowest quiz score will be dropped at the end of the semester. Homework will
be assigned daily in class and will be due at the end of class each Tuesday.
There will be more problems assigned than graded and you will be responsible
for going online and viewing the homework key to insure that all your work is
correct. Late work will not be
accepted. All
work should be shown for homework, quizzes and tests. Adhere to the “Homework Guidelines”
for the completion of
homework. You are strongly encouraged to
form study groups and collaboration is acceptable on homework assignments, but
not exams or quizzes unless you are explicitly told otherwise. Student solution manuals containing solutions
to the odd problems are available in the bookstore. However, you may not use the full solution
manual with both even and odd solutions while preparing your homework. Any cases of cheating will be dealt
with severely. To view the UMD statement on
Student Academic Integrity Policy, see: www.d.umn.edu/assl/conduct/integrity.
If
you feel that an error has been made in grading on of your exams, please bring
it to the attention of the instructor. You will have one week following the
return of each exam in which to contest such errors. Keep all homework, quizzes and exams in
your records.
Participation
Your participation in this class is expected during
both lectures and discussions. I will
routinely start or finish a class with a two point question(s) that will be
graded as follows. One point will be
granted for an incorrect answer and the full two points for a correct
answer. The questions will all be
answered with the personal response card (clicker) you purchased. However, before the system will work you will
need to register your response card at https://webdrop.d.umn.edu/. For more
information about the technology and the process that was used to choose this
system you can visit http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/classroom/srs.html.
Calculators
Use of graphing calculators is encouraged but not required. They will be allowed on exams and quizzes, but exams and quizzes will be written to minimize the benefit of having a calculator. You must show your work (thought process) for all problems, thus answers arrived at by calculator alone will be granted very few points. Any calculator that is capable of symbolic manipulation will not be allowed on exams. This includes TI-89. See the instructor if you are unsure if your calculator is acceptable.
Missed Exams or Quizzes
Missed quizzes or exams will be assigned a zero score unless you provide a valid written, signed (by a doctor, for example) excuse for your absence; unless it is not possible to do so, you must provide verbal notice ahead of time to your instructor for the absence. Arrangements for a makeup should be made as soon as you know you will miss. Do not wait for the next class. You can leave the instructor a message 24 hours a day by phone or by email. Oversleeping, poor preparation, slight colds, and cold weather are not valid excuses. Remember that one quiz score will be dropped, so you have a bit of a cushion.
Student Conduct Code
The instructor will enforce and students are expected to follow the University's Student Conduct Code (http://www.d.umn.edu/assl/conduct/code). Appropriate classroom conduct promotes an environment of academic achievement and integrity. Disruptive classroom behavior that substantially or repeatedly interrupts either the instructor's ability to teach, or student learning, is prohibited. Disruptive behavior includes inappropriate use of technology in the classroom. Examples include ringing cell phones, text-messaging, watching videos, playing computer games, reading/writng email, or surfing the Internet on your computer instead of note-taking or other learning activities.
Disabilities
Please inform me of any disabilities of which I should be aware in order to provide for equitable participation.
Tutoring
In addition to the office hours of the instructor and the
teaching assistants, help is usually available M-F at the
