Math 481-102

Prof. Muratov

 

Grading Policy:  The final grade in this course will be determined as follows: 

Homework:

22%

Midterm Exam I:

22%

Midterm Exam II:

22%

Final Exam:

34%


Drop Date:  Please note that the University Drop Date March 26, 2013 deadline will be strictly enforced.

Homework Policy:  Problem sets will be assigned and collected on a weekly basis. Selected problems will be graded and will constitute a substantial portion of the grade.

Attendance:  Your absences from class will inhibit your ability to fully participate in class discussions and problem solving sessions and, therefore, affect your grade. Attendance at all classes will be recorded and is mandatory.

Exams:  There will be two midterm exams and one comprehensive final exam during the semester. Exams are held in class on the following days:

Midterm Exam 1:

February 26, 2013

Midterm Exam 2:

April 2, 2013

Final Exam Week:

May 9-15, 2013

 

Makeup Exam Policy:  Makeup exams will be offered to those students who, for some legitimate reason, cannot take the exam at the regular time. Legitimate reasons may include illness, death in the family, accident, requirement to appear in court, etc. If you have a legitimate reason not to take the exam at the time it is being offered, you may take a makeup exam ONLY if you received the instructor's permission in advance. You must notify the instructor of your problem before the date of the exam. The only exception to this rule is if you had an accident on the day of the exam. In this case, you must present proof, like a doctor's note, police report, etc., clearly stating the date AND time.

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.
