MATH 110 Course Syllabus

NJIT Academic Integrity CODE:  All Students should be aware that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the University Code on Academic Integrity at NJIT very seriously and enforces it strictly.  This means that 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 University Code on Academic Integrity, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.

 

Math 110-031:  University Mathematics II - Trigonometry B

SUMMER 2011

 

Instructor:  Prof. Porus

Textbook:  Algebra & Trigonometry, 9th Edition, Sullivan, ISBN 978-0-321-71656-9 

Prerequisites:  A Grade of C or better in Math 108

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

▪ Homework & Quizzes:

15%

▪ 2 Midterm Exams:

25% each

▪ Final Exam:

35%


Your final letter grade will be based on the following tentative curve. This curve may be adjusted slightly at the end of the semester. NOTE:  You must score a grade of C or better on the final exam in order to get a grade of C or better in the course and to proceed to Math 111.

A

90-100

C

65-74

B+

85-89

D

60-64

B

80-84

F

0-59

C+

75-79

 

 


 

Drop Date:  Please note that the Math Summer Session Drop Date July 11, 2011 deadline will be strictly enforced.

Recitation Assignments:  The text contains many projects requiring students to perform sustained algebraic and trigonometric computations using techniques borrowed from calculus.  Most of the questions asked on our common examinations will consist of components of these projects.  In order to help students prepare for such examination questions, in which computations are isolated from the larger projects in which students are used to performing them, we have included “Modular Exercises” in most sections.  Many of these exercises appear under the heading “Group Study Exercises” and are assigned to be worked in the class recitation period.  Problems not completed in recitation should be carried over to the end of the week’s home work.  If necessary, students should consult the mathematics tutors in the University Learning Center for assistance on those Recitation problems not worked in the Recitation period.  If a Recitation assignment is completed early, students should begin READING the next section in the text.

Homework Policy:  Homework problems are listed below.

Attendance:  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.

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

Exam 1:

June 15, 2011

Exam 2:

July 6, 2011

Final Exam:

August 8, 2011


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.
