Drop Date: Please note that the University Drop Date November 3, 2011 deadline will be strictly enforced.
Attendance Policy: Math 111 meets four times a week; there are three lectures and one recitation hour. Recitation classes provide an additional opportunity for you to seek help with homework and concepts taught in class. Attendance at all classes (both lecture and recitation) will be recorded and is mandatory. Please make sure you read and fully understand the Department’s Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.
Homework Policy: There are two kinds of homework assignments: 1) online homework assignments on MyMathlab, which are listed in the syllabus, and 2) assignments that will be handed in to instructors. The MyMathlab assignments can be found online at www.mymathlab.com or www.coursecompass.com. In order to complete these assignments, you need to have a student access code. Access codes are included with a new book that is bundled with MyMathLab; codes can be purchased separately from the textbook at the campus bookstore or online at the course website. If you buy a new book from another source, make sure it is bundled with MyMathlab. The homework problems to be handed in can be found at math.njit.edu/~bukiet/M111/Math111-Fall-2011-HW.doc. Your instructor will tell you when to submit each problem set. NOTE: Homework assignments are DUE first class of the following week (recitation).

MATLAB Assignments: MATLAB is a mathematical software program that is used throughout the science and engineering curricula. Three MATLAB assignments will be given during the semester; tutors are available to help students having difficulties in accordance with a posted schedule.
Quiz Policy: Quizzes are given in class on a frequent basis (at least weekly). All of the quizzes will be graded. The homework and quizzes are intended to develop your problem-solving skills and to help you prepare for the exams.
Examinations: There will be three common midterm exams during the semester and one comprehensive final exam during the final exam week. Exams are held on the following days:
Exam 1: |
September 21, 2011 |
Exam 2: |
October 26, 2011 |
Exam 3: |
November 16, 2011 |
Final Exam Week: |
December 14-20, 2011 |
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.
Make sure you read and fully understand the department's
Examination Policy.
This policy will be
strictly enforced. Please note that electronic devices (such as calculators, cell phones,
MP3 or CD players,
etc.) are not allowed during any exam.
Makeup Exam Policy: There will be No make-up EXAMS or Quizzes 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 Instructor’s 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.
