All Students should be aware that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the NJIT Honor code very seriously and enforces it strictly. This means there must not be any forms of plagiarism, i.e., copying of homework, class projects, or lab assignments, or any form of cheating in quizzes and exams. Under the Honor Code, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.
Instructor:
Prof. Q. Wang
Textbook:
PRECALCULUS Functions and Graphs (Eleventh Edition) By:
Swokowski and Cole.
Grading
Policy: The final grade in this course will
be determined as follows:
|
|
|
10% |
|
|
|
20% each |
|
|
|
30% |
Your final letter grade will be based on the following tentative curve:
|
A |
90-100 |
|
C |
65-74 |
|
B+ |
85-89 |
|
D |
55-64 |
|
B |
80-84 |
|
F |
0-54 |
|
C+ |
75-79 |
|
|
|
This curve may be adjusted slightly at the end of the semester. Also note that the University Drop Date November 5, 2007 deadline will be strictly enforced.
Homework Policy:
Homework must be handed in at the beginning of every
class. Late homework will not be accepted
Exams:
All sections will take three common midterm exams during
the semester and one common final exam during the final exam week. Midterm exams
are held on Wednesdays on the following days:
|
Exam 1 |
September 26, 2007 |
|
Exam 2 |
October 24, 2007 |
|
Exam 3 |
November 28, 2007 |
The time of the midterm exams is 4:15-5:40 pm for daytime students and 5:45-7:10 pm for evening students. The final exam will test your knowledge of all the course material taught in the entire course. The final exam will be scheduled during the exam period. Make sure you read and fully understand the department's Examination Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced. Please note that calculators, cellular phones, beepers, and all other electronic devices may not be used during any exam.
Makeup Exam
Policy: There will be NO makeup exams
during the semester. In the event the Final Exam is not taken, under rare
circumstances where the student has a legitimate reason for missing the final
exam, a makeup exam will be administered by the math department. In any case the
student must notify the Math Department Office and the Instructor that
the exam will be missed and present written verifiable proof of the reason for
missing the exam, e.g., a doctors note, police report, court notice, etc.,
clearly stating the date AND time of the mitigating problem.
Further
Assistance: For further questions,
students should contact their instructor. All instructors have regular office
hours during the week. These office hours are listed at the link above by
clicking on the Instructors name. Teaching Assistants are also available in the
Math Learning Center.
Cellular
Phones: All cellular phones and beepers
must be switched off during all class times.
