The final exam and each midterm will count 25%, homework quizzes will count 20%, and the query will count 5%.


Exam Schedule:
Exam 1 Friday, February 2nd, In Class
Exam 2 Friday, March 2nd, In Class
Final Monday, March 19th, 7:10-10:00 am


Homework: Homework is by far the most important aspect of this course. On the back of this page you will find the first few weeks of the lesson schedule (the entirety may be viewed in Blackboard). There are suggested problems four nights a week that have been hand-picked to illustrate important topics or techniques. You should endeavor to keep pace and do every problem.

Except for exam days, each Friday I will post a two-question homework quiz to be done over the weekend and turned in on the following Monday. These quizzes will cover the homework material from that week; they are open-book, open-note and strictly non-collaborative.

Please present neat, concise, complete work incorporating proper English and mathematical notation. Writing mathematics well is a craft, aim to hone this skill!

Academic Integrity: In short: be sensible, respectful, and mindful of the integrity of the system we are all so lucky to share.

Please refer to the University's policy regarding cheating and plagiarism found in the Campus Administration Manual, Section 684.
