Content:  We will cover chapters 2-4 and some of chapter 5 of Edwards and Penny.  See the back of the syllabus for the list of topics covered and the suggested homework problems for each section.

 

Grading:  Grading will be based on the following point values:

                        Homework:       150 points         18.75%

                        Participation:       50 points           6.25%

                        Exams:             400 points         50%

                        Final Exam:       200 points         25%

                                   Total:    800 points

Grades  will be assigned based on percentage as follows:

             A:  92% - 100%            B+:  86% - 88%             C+:  76% - 78%                        D:  60% - 66%

            A-:  89% - 91%               B:  82% - 85%               C:  70% - 75%                          F:   0% - 59%

                                                B-:  79% - 81%             C-:  67% - 69%           

Homework:  I will use WeBWorK for assigning and submitting homework online.  The website where you can log on to WeBWorK is  https://webwork.math.uga.edu/webwork2/Math2200_Platt/.  Your username is your UGA e-mail username (e.g., if your e-mail address is joecool@uga.edu, then your username is joecool).  Your password is initially set as your student number (exactly 9 digits, starting with 810- and including dashes, formatted like a social security number).  Once you log on, you can (and should) change it.  Homework will be due by midnight approximately five days after it is assigned.  Once the due date and time has passed, you will no longer be able to work on it.  The homework will count 150 points toward your grade.  I have put some suggested homework problems, along with the schedule, on the back of the syllabus which are similar to the ones assigned on WeBWorK.  You should do as many of them as you need to in order to increase your skill and understanding of the subject.  We will go over some of these in class.

 

Participation:  Students are expected to come to class prepared each day.  Excessive unexcused absences and other irresponsible behavior will result in a reduction of the 50 possible participation points. 

 

Exams:  There will be four 100 point in-class exams during the semester.  Questions on the exams will test for understanding of the concepts and ability to do the applications.  The questions will be similar to the  homework problems as well as concepts we discuss in class.   The final exam is comprehensive and is worth 200 points.  It will be roughly twice as long as one in-class exam.  It is scheduled for Thursday, December 13, 2007 from 3:30 to 6:30pm.  It will most likely be in our regular classroom, but any changes will be announced in class.

 

Office Hours:  I will be in my office during my office hours and you can drop by during those times whenever you need to discuss homework or if you need additional clarification of something discussed in class.  If you can't make the assigned times, feel free to set up an appointment with me.

 

Other:  I reserve the right to make any necessary changes to this syllabus, and will announce any changes  to the class.

 

Academic Honesty:  All students are responsible for knowing the University’s policy on academic honesty.  All academic work submitted in this course must be your own unless you have received my permission to collaborate.  It is my responsibility to uphold the University’s academic honesty policy and report my suspicions of dishonesty to the Office of the Vice President for instruction.
