Drop Date:  Please note that the University Drop Date March 29, 2010 deadline will be strictly enforced.

Homework and Quiz Policy:  Online homework is listed in the syllabus. In order to do the online homework assignments you need to have a student access code. You can get an access code with a new book purchase that is bundled with My MathLab or by buying the code separately at the campus bookstore. If you buy a new book from another source make sure it is bundled with My MathLab. In addition on the first day of class your course instructor will give you an additional code needed to access the homework assignments.

In addition to the online homework, you will be assigned homework to be handed in each class and you will be quizzed regularly.  The quiz and homework grades will be a significant component of your course grade.

Attendance Policy:  Math 112H 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.

MATLAB:  MATLAB is a mathematical software program that is used throughout the science and engineering curricula. MATLAB assignments will be given during the semester; tutors are available to help students having difficulties in accordance with a posted schedule.

Exams:  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:

February 10, 2010

Exam 2:

March 10, 2010

Exam 3:

April 14, 2010

Final Exam Week:

May 6-12, 2010


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, 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.
