Course CalendarNOTE: Your web browser needs to have JavaScript enabled in order to use the calendar displayed on the left hand side of this web page. To see the details for a certain date, simply hover your mouse over the date and you should see a small information box appear with any details pertaining to that date. Exam dates are marked in red. Note that lecture days are on Mondays and Wednesdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays that are marked on the calendar correspond to lectures/new material in the discussion sections. CalculatorsWhile graphing calculators are not required, they will be useful for quick calculations and for obtaining sketches of functions. No calculator will be allowed on any exams or quizzes, so do not become too dependent on them. ALEKS AssessmentYour first assignment in this course is to complete the ALEKS Assessment. It is the policy of the department that you must complete this exam of precalculus skills between the first and tenth day of this course, even if you have taken the exam before. You must complete this exam between August 22nd and September 5th. Students who receive a score of at least 40% will receive 60 points for this assessment. Those who score less than 40% will receive 0 points for the assessment. Your score will be posted on Score Reports as hw1. Click here to find out more about the ALEKS assessment or to take the exam. HomeworkHomework will be assigned via a list of suggested problems. The assignments will not be collected. However, it is strongly recommended that you do the problems. Click here to view the list of suggested problems from the 10th edition. You should attempt the problems as soon as the sections are covered in lecture. Try to finish the problems for each section before a lecture is given over new material. Click here to view the list of suggested problems from the 11th edition. You should attempt the problems as soon as the sections are covered in lecture. Try to finish the problems for each section before a lecture is given over new material. QuizzesThere are 12 quizzes (3 questions per quiz). Each quiz will cover material from the previous week. The total number of points per quiz is 9. The problems will be similar to those on the list of suggested homework problems. Come on time. All quizzes must be turned in by 1/4 past the hour. Any student who leaves before class is dismissed on a quiz day will receive a 0 for that quiz. Makeups will NOT be allowed. The 10 best quiz scores will be used for the quiz total (i.e. combined quizzes are equivalent to one exam). The two drops will account for travel, illness, etc. during the term.
ExamsThere will be three in-class exams given during the main lecture days, and a cumulative final exam. You MUST bring your student ID or another picture ID with you to every exam. Regular in-class exams are worth 90 points and the final exam is worth 180 points. The exam dates are listed below, and are also marked in red on the calendars displayed on the left. As these exam dates are set, you should plan your shedules around these dates. If you have conflicts with these exam dates, you must notify me by September 7, 2007. Under no other circumstances will makeups be given for the three regular exams. We will use Altgeld 314 (our regular classroom) for our exams.
Academic DishonestyThis course adheres strictly to the University's Student Code Part 4 Policy on Academic Integrity. Cheating of any kind on the quizzes, exams, or the final will result in an immediate F in the course, and a letter will be placed in your permanent school file. Special NeedsIf you have special needs requiring accomodations in the classroom or during exams, please provide the official documentation of your specific needs by September 7, 2007. GradesYour grades will consist of the ALEKS Assessment (60 points), 10 quizzes (totaling 90 points), the three regular exams (each 90 points), and the final exam (180 points). This gives 600 points for the entire semester. You can always check your grades online. To get to the score reports, visit http://www.math.uiuc.edu/Classes/ and click on the Score Reports link. It is your responsibility to make sure that all grade descrepencies be cleared in a timely manner. Once any graded quiz or exam has been returned, even if you were not present to accept it that day, you have two weeks from that date to dispute any discrepencies. After the two weeks, the grades are final.If necessary, grades may be curved. The curve is based off of cutoff marks -- that is, for each exam I will simply specify the what the lowest A, B, C, and D grades are. The Score Report program takes care of the rest. Lastly, I do give +/- to the letter grades for the final grade submission. Each grade range will divided into thirds and the +/- will be assigned in the obvious fashion.
