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:

Homework and Quizzes 25%
Midterm Exam 35%
Final Exam 40%

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

A 87 - 100 C 60 - 66
B+ 81 - 86 D 57 - 59
B 74 - 80 F 0 - 56
C+ 67 - 73

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 and Quiz Policy: The homework assignments are in the syllabus and online. In order to do the assignments you need to have a student access code. You can get an access code with a new book purchase that is bundled with My MathLab or by buying the code separately at the campus bookstore. If you buy a new book from another source make sure it is bundled with My MathLab. In addition on the first day of class your course instructor will give you an additional code needed to access the homework assignments. A quiz based on the homework problems will be given each week online or in class. There will be a short quiz every week on the material covered during the previous week. All of the quizzes will be graded. The homework and quizzes are intended to develop your problem-solving skills and to prepare you for the exams. The quiz and homework grades will be a significant component of your course grade.

How to Get Started with MyMathLab:

MATLAB Assignments: MATLAB is a mathematical software program that is used throughout the science and engineering curricula. Several MATLAB assignments will be given out. These assignments have been designed to help you learn how to use this software in order to visualize many of the concepts taught in class. Each MATLAB assignment will be graded and will be counted as a weekly quiz grade.

Class Preparation: Class preparation consists of written summaries of lectures handed in at the beginning of every class (together with homework). Students are responsible to read the section before the lecture and write one page summary consisted of definitions, theorems, and important examples.

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

Common Midterm Exam June 20, 2018
Final Exam July 17, 2018

Makeup Exam Policy: To properly report your absence from a midterm or final exam, please review and follow the required steps under the DMS Examination Policy found here:

Cellular Phones: All cellular phones and other electronic devices must be switched off during all class times.
