Homework will be assigned for each section. It is due a few days after the material is covered in class. To receive credit, you must show all your work, make sure your reasoning is clear, provide justifications when necessary, etc. Just an answer will not receive credit. A small number of randomly selected problems will be graded. It is very important to do all homework diligently in order to learn the material. If you are having trouble with your homework, feel free to get help from your classmates, instructor, and/or tutors. However, your homework must be your own work. No copying is allowed (copying will be considered cheating). Unless you have a serios and documented reason, late homework is accepted only up to 2 days (48 hours) late and receives up to 60% of credit.
Class attendance is required. In addition to new material,vimportant course information will be given in class, and sometimes quizzes will be administered. Please do not be late. The class will start on time. Pay attention. Stay on task. Please put away any phones and other distracting gadgets. Take notes. No recording or taking pictures are allowed during class. Questions addressed to the instructor are welcome at any time during class. I will sometimes ask if there are any questions, but if needed, feel free to ask for a clarification at other times as well. Frequently, worksheets will be completed in class. If you finish it in class, you may turn it in at the end of the class. Otherwise, you may finish it at home and turn it in at the beginning of the next class. Unless you have a serios and documented reason, late worksheets are accepted only up to 2 days (48 hours) late and receive up to 60% of credit.
Quizzes will sometimes be given during class. Quizzes will not be announced in advance. They will be short and quick (5-10 minutes) and will test your knowledge and computational skills. You must be present in class (for the whole class period) in order to do the quiz. If you are late or leave early, your quiz grade may be lowered. No late quizzes are given unless you have a serious and documented reason to miss class. However, two lowest scores are dropped, so if you miss just one or two of them, your zeros will be dropped. Each quiz is based on the most recent homework (that is, the homework that was due most recently before the day of the quiz). Sometimes, the quiz problem is exactly one of the homework problems. Sometimes, the numbers or the functions are changed slightly, however, the same reasoning still applies. To do well on quizzes, do your homework diligently, check your answers, and ask questions whenever you miss something.
Activity section is an important part of this class. Make sure you attend the activity section you signed up for each week and actively participate. You will complete quizzes based on the activities done there. Your activity section score is 10% of your class grade.
Exams: There will be three 50 minuntes long tests and one 2 hours long final comprehensive exam. See schedule for exam dates. If for any reason you are unable to take a test at the scheduled time, please let your instructor know as soon as possible, and certainly before the test. In most cases, you will be expected to take the test before it is given in class. No late tests are given unless you have a serious and documented reason to miss class.
