All Students should be aware that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the NJIT Honor code very seriously and enforces it strictly. This means 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 Honor Code, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.
Mathematics 099-FTF:
introduction to college math - B
Summer 2008
http://www.njit.edu/firstyearstudents/
¤ Instructor: Prof. Mohebbi
¤ Required Textbook: Honing Algebraic Skills in a Calculus Setting by Katzen & Halady.
¤ Grading Policy: The final grade in this course will be determined as follows:
Ø Quizzes & Participation:: |
|
15% |
Ø Midterm Exam II: |
|
25% |
Ø Midterm Exam II: |
|
25% |
Ø Final Exam: |
|
35% |
¤ Quiz Policy: Quizzes will be given at the beginning of the lecture. These quizzes will be very similar to the homework due that day and are used to determine if the student has successfully completed the homework assignment and studied the material
¤ Attendance: This section meet four times a week. Attendance of all classes is mandatory and will be recorded . More than TWO absences in the course will result in withdrawing a student from the course. Please make sure you read and fully understand the Department’s Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced. Two late arrivals will count as one absence.
