Math 242 BL1 – Fall 2005                                          Dr. Karen Mortensen, course instructor

 

DO

Come to class on time.  If, on rare occasion, you must be late, please enter quietly and sit in the back row.

Stay for the entire class period.  I will end the lecture promptly at 12:50.  If, on rare occasion, you must leave early for another obligation, sit in the back row and slip out quietly.

Turn off cell phones etc. during class.

Feel free to ask questions during lecture.  Please raise your hand when you’d like to speak.

Come to the front of the room after class if you’d like to ask a question or discuss anything with me.

If you believe there has been a grading error on any of your work, discuss it first with your TA.  If that doesn’t settle the matter, then bring it promptly to my attention.  Please explain the situation in writing and give it to me in class, in my mailbox in 250 Altgeld, or by email.

Contact me as soon as possible if an unusual, serious situation interferes with your class work (such as a major illness or family emergency).

Contact me promptly with any concerns you have about the course so that I can try to address these concerns.  If you wait too long, a small problem may turn into a big problem!

Call me “Dr. Mortensen” and ask your TA what he or she would like to be called.

 

 

DON’T

Talk to others during the lecture.  This distracts the instructor and makes it hard for others to hear the lecture.

Read the newspaper, etc. during lecture.

Turn in homework to the instructors’ or TA’s mailboxes or by email.  Homework must be turned in at the beginning of class on the day it is due.

Expect the TA or instructor to give you private tutoring if you miss class.  In this case, it is your responsibility to learn the material from the book.

Copy homework or allow another student to copy your homework.  In this class, copying is treated as plagiarism.

Cheat on exams in any way.  This will result in very serious consequences.
