Course Goals

Course Objectives

Course Outcomes

Course Assessment: The assessment of objectives is achieved through homeworks, quizzes, and common examinations with common grading.

Policies

DMS Course Policies: All DMS students must familiarize themselves with, and adhere to, the Department of Mathematical Sciences Course Policies, in addition to official university-wide policies. DMS takes these policies very seriously and enforces them strictly.

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

Quizzes 20%
Midterm Exam 35%
Final Exam 45%

Your final letter grade will be based on the following tentative curve.

A 88 - 100 C 65 - 71
B+ 83 - 87 D 60 - 64
B 77 - 82 F 0 - 59
C+ 72 - 76

Attendance Policy: Attendance at all classes will be recorded and is mandatory. Please make sure you read and fully understand the Math Department’s Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.

Homework: The homework assignments are listed in the syllabus and the instructor will tell you when
to submit each problem set. NOTE: Homework assignments are DUE daily at the dates and times specified the
instructors.

Quiz Policy: Quizzes are given in class on a daily basis. 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.

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

Midterm Exam January 2, 2018
Final Exam January 12, 2018

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 Math Department's Examination Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.

Makeup Exam Policy: There will be NO MAKE-UP 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.

Additional Resources

For further questions, students should contact their instructor. All instructors have regular office hours during the week. These office hours are listed on the Math Department's webpage for Instructor Office Hours and Emails.

All students must familiarize themselves with and adhere to the Department of Mathematical Sciences Course Policies, in addition to official university-wide policies. The Department of Mathematical Sciences takes these policies very seriously and enforces them strictly.
