Evaluation:
- The final raw score will be computed with the following weights: 10% homework, 20% quizzes, 30% midterm, and 40% final.
- There will be one quiz each of the first 5 weeks of the course. It will happen on a random day of lecture. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped. There will be no makeups.
- You can work collectively on the homework. You can also look to other sources for solutions. However, you must cite any outside source you have used
in finding your solution. And, you must write up your solution in your own words. There will be no late homework accepted. Early homework is always accepted.
- I suggest you make a serious attempt at each problem before consulting a peer or another text. This is good practice for the exams.
- A grade of 'F' will be assigned to any student who misses the final. Incompletes are reserved for those who have completed all of the work for the class, including the midterm,
but who, for a legitimate, documented reason, miss the final.
Piazza:
- I encourage everyone to use the free discussion board piazza.com for discussion of the class.
You may go to the website and enroll in MATH 131C.
This is a site that allows everyone to ask and answer questions. It is my hope that you will help each other out on the site.
If there are questions about policies, exams, etc, please post them on piazza as well. I will answer them there so that the answers will be public and useful to other students.
- However, please look at previous questions and this syllabus before posting a new question. In other words, RTFM.
- You may post anonymously, for reference.
- You may give us anonymous feedback by posting a private note on piazza.
