Most students that struggle with this course fall behind at some point, avoid this like the plague. One day at a time, finite mathematics is not that hard! If you blow off a few days, it can become much more challenging.
If any student has a physical, learning or psychiatric disability
that
restricts the development or expression of your gifts, please feel free
to let me know so that we can, when possible, make accommodations that
will enhance your classroom experience.
Exams: There will be three midterm exams worth 100 points each. Tentatively, these exams will occur after we complete chapters 5 (we will start with chapter 5), 2 and 4, or approximately on the dates September 9 (exam 1), October 19 (exam 2) and November 30 (exam 3). We will also have a 150 point cumulative final exam on Monday December 13, at 10:30 AM.
Quizzes and Homework: I will collect homework assignments regularly and there will be regular (every week or two) quizzes as well. Normally, quizzes will be announced. There will be approximately 450 points total (350 on HW and 100 on quizzes) based on your homework and quiz grades. You should keep your homework separate from your notes, so that your homework can be collected at any time. Recording "just the answer" will receive little or no credit. You should show and/or explain your work on all assignments for this class. You are encouraged to work together on homework assignments, but this does NOT mean copying the work of others nor answers from a solution set.
Activities: We will complete several activities (mostly in groups), some in-class, others may be out of class. These activities will involve the current topics of the course and normally replace a lecture. We will have approximately 60 points (total) worth of activities.
Class Participation and Attendance: There will be 50 points based on your class participation (asking questions, taking part in discussions, contributing to your group in activities, etc.) and attendance. I will determine your score for these 50 points. You are responsible for all of the material covered in class each day, even if you are not present.
Late assignments and academic dishonesty: Mock Trail
participants, choir tour participants, athletes, and others who must
miss a class for participating in a college sanctioned event are
expected to notify me in advance and complete work including tests in
advance of the absence. It is the student's responsibility to
communicate with me in advance regarding their absences and determine a
schedule for make up work.
Late homework,
activities,
etc. will be penalized by 10% each lecture they are late, until that
assignment is graded and returned. Once an assignment has been graded
and returned to students who completed it on time, it will NOT be
accepted for partial credit. I am fairly
flexible
about giving exams at alternate times, BUT you should definitely warn
me
before
the exam is missed, and plan on taking it early rather than
late.
Quizzes missed due to absences can NOT be made up.
Plagiarism
and cheating of any form are serious offenses and may result in an F
for the assignment, the course, or expulsion from the college.
The details of Central's Academic Integrity policy are found in
the Student Handbook, on the web. A copy will be sent to you via e-mail
during the first week of the semester. It
is your responsibility to read and understand the contents of that
policy before you submit work to be graded. Questions regarding
the policies and enforcement of the policies may be addressed to me
during class or during office hours.
