Department Web Page is www.math.uri.edu
. My personal web page can be found by
going to the Department Web Page and clicking “Faculty”, and then on my
picture. Much valuable information can
be found in these two places, including tutoring schedules, and practice exams.
Accommodations: Any student with a documented disability is
welcome to contact me early in the semester to work out reasonable
accommodations to support your success in this course. Students should first contact Disability
Services for Students, Office of Student Life, 330 Memorial
Examinations: There are four examinations. The first is on Monday, September 27 (on the material through 1.5), the second on Monday, October 18 (on the material
through 2.4), the third on Monday,
November 15 (on the material through 3.7), and the fourth on Friday, December 10 (on the material
through 4.5). The final exam is Thursday, December 23,
All exams are closed book,
closed notes. No cell phone use of any
kind during exams. Your calculator (no
sharing) is required on exams.
All exams should be taken at
the scheduled time and place. The final
exam will be divided into 4 parts, corresponding to the material covered on the
four semester exams. You will receive a
grade for each part. If for some reason
you should miss an exam, the corresponding part of the final exam will count as
the make-up exam. In fact, two of the
semester exam grades can be improved up to 85% by the corresponding grade on
the final exam, regardless of whether you have taken the semester exam.
Grading: Your final grade will be based upon your total score
out of a possible 600 points (100 points for each exam, and 200 points total
for the final). You need at least 60%
(360 points) to pass, and 90% (540 points) for an
A-. Some classes will include graded
exercises. The points from these
exercises will be added to your next exam grade.
Homework: Math is not a spectator sport--the only way to learn
it is to do it. Although the homework is
not collected and is not a component of your grade per se, it is the most
important part of the course. I have
supplied you a list of recommended homework problems for each section that we
cover. HOMEWORK PROBLEMS These problems should be done soon after the
associated material is covered in class.
Some students will need to do more problems, but everybody should do at
least the recommended list. You will also find class time more comprehensible
if you keep current, and read the textbook—it is nicely written.
Attendance: Attendance will not be taken, but you are expected to
attend every class with your book and calculator. When you come to class, please be respectful
of your student colleagues. ETTIQUETTE
