It is deparmental policy that in order for a student to pass Math 201, he or she must past a so-called Gateway exam. These are exams that are administered by faculty and are intended to cover the basic material of Math 201. You have four chances to get 5 of the 6 questions on a Gateway exactly correct. The days we will be having Gateway exams are:
- October 7
- October 28
- November 4
- November 5
There will be three midterm exams and a final. The midterms will be
- September 23rd: this will cover the first sections 1.1 - 2.6
- October 21st: this will cover chapter 3
- November 18th: this will cover chapter 4
Our final exam will be administered at a day and time to be determined. Do not make any plans to leave campus until the day and time are announced.
| Homework Policy and Guidelines |
|---|
- Written homework will be assigned daily and will be collected twice a week. Homework assigned Friday and Monday will be collected Wednesday and homework assigned Tuesday and Wednesday will be collected Friday.
- All homework assignments will be posted on the course's Homework web page.
- Late homework will not be accepted in the absence of divine intervention or matters of similar weight.
- Unexcused late and missing papers count zero.
- Homework is to be written neatly using one side of 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper. Do not use paper from a spiral notebook unless you can tear off the ragged edge. All papers are to be stapled.
| Grades |
|---|
The course grade will be based upon the scores on the homework, the quizzes, three hour exams and the final exam.
The point breakdown is as follows:
| Midterm 1 | 100 points | Midterm 2 | 100 points | Midterm 3 | 100 points | Quizzes | 70 points | Homework | 30 points | Final Exam | 200 points |
| Academic Honesty |
|---|
On Exams: No help given or received
On Homeworks: Collaboration is permitted and encouraged, but NO COPYING . In other words, you should feel free to talk to other students while you are in the process of thinking about a problem. However, when it comes time to write up your solutions, you should do this by yourself without outside assistance.
| Special Needs |
|---|
Students with special needs who will be taking this course and may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see their instructor as soon as possible, certainly within the first two weeks of the course.
