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 108-FTF:
University Mathematics I - B
Summer 2008
http://www.njit.edu/firstyearstudents/
¤ Instructor: Prof. Klimek
¤ Required Textbook: Pre Calculus from a Calculus Perspective – Volume I by Katzen, et.al.
¤ Grading Policy: The final grade in this course will be determined as follows:
|
Ø Quizzes: |
|
15% |
|
Ø Midterm Exams: |
|
25% each |
|
Ø Final Exam: |
|
35% |
Your final letter grade will be based on the following tentative curve:
|
A |
90-100 |
|
C |
60-69 |
|
B+ |
85-89 |
|
D |
50-59 |
|
B |
80-84 |
|
F |
0-49 |
|
C+ |
70-79 |
|
|
|
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.
¤ Homework Policy: Homework problems are listed below.
¤ Self Study Project: The text begins with a Self Study Project. It is designed to help students make the transition to University Level Mathematics, in which the textbook should be read and not just used as a source of homework exercises. Although students will not receive any formal instruction on this material, a question from the Self Study Project will appear on the first midterm examination. We encourage students to read and discuss this project amongst themselves in the first week of classes, and if necessary seek individual assistance from the tutorial staff in the University Learning Center.
¤ Attendance: Attendance of all classes will be recorded and is mandatory. 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.
¤ Exams and Quizzes: Quizzes will be given each week on the previous week’s assignments. The dates of the quizzes are listed below. There are no make-up quizzes. I will drop the lowest quiz score. There will be two exams given in class on Monday, July 21 and Tuesday , August 5. The final exam will be on Thursday, August 21:
|
Midterm Exam I: |
July 21, 2008 |
Monday |
|
Midterm Exam II: |
August 5, 2008 |
Tuesday |
|
Final Exam |
August 21, 2008 |
Thursday |
The final exam will cover the entire course material. Make sure
you read and fully understand the department's
Examination Policy. This
policy will be strictly enforced. Please note that calculators, cellular phones,
beepers, and all other electronic devices may not be used during any
exam. There will be NO
MAKE-UP EXAMS.
¤ 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.
