Mathematics and Statistics Workshop:

Text: Vector Calculus, Second Edition, by Thomas H. Barr. (published by Prentice Hall.)

Tests: The dates for the two in-class tests are Friday, October 8; and Friday, November 12. Any questions regarding the grading of a test need to be cleared up within two days after the test has been returned.

Missed tests: In the event of a verifiable emergency that prevents you from taking a test at the scheduled time, you must notify me as soon as possible, and in any case, before the next regularly scheduled class. Make-up tests will be administered at my discretion and may be harder than the regular exam.

Final Exam: The final exam is scheduled for Thursday, December 16 from 8:00 am. to 10:00 am. Every student has to take the final exam at this time.

Homework/Quizzes: Homework will be assigned weekly. Either selected homework problems will be graded or there will be a quiz based on the homework problems. These quizzes will be included in the homework grade and will not be announced earlier. It is your responsibility to get the information regarding the homework due for the next class. There may be a few other announced quizzes during the semester.

Grades: The weights of each category in your final grade are as follows:

Homework/Quizzes: 10%

Tests: 20% each

Final Exam: 30% each

Class participation: 5%

Take-home exam: 15%

To calculate your grade in each category at the end of the semester, I will divide the total points earned by the total possible points in that category and then multiply it by the value indicated above. For instance, if there were 130 possible homework points and you got 110 points, then I will take 110/130 and multiply it by 10 to get the homework portion of your grade. Adding the results for each category will give your final grade percentage.

Academic Integrity: The College Code of Student Conduct will be enforced in all the areas of the course and students found to be in violation will be subject to the appropriate disciplinary processes.
