Fall Semester 2002

Engineering and Science Mathematics I

Standard Track Syllabus

Textbook:

Edwards & Penney, Calculus with Analytic Geometry, 5th edition.

Grading:

The final grade will be computed as the grade point average with the following weights:

Homework and Quizzes:	20%
Midterm Exam I:	20%
Midterm Exam II:	20%
Final Exam:	40%

The final homework grade and all exams will receive explicit letter grades before from which the final grade is computed.

Homework and Quizzes:

Homework is assigned weekly; the list of homework assignments will be updated before the Wednesday lecture.
Homework is due Mondays 11:00 in the Mailbox marked ESM Standard Track, exact location TBA.
Homework will be marked and returned in the Friday tutorials.
There is a quiz in the Monday lecture every week. The quiz covers the homework due earlier that day.
Each quiz will be receive one of the grades A, B, C, D, or F. The week's homework may raise (homework is essentially complete and correct) or lower (homework is largely missing and/or of poor quality) the weekly score by 1/3 of a grade point.
The four lowest weekly scores will be deleted before the final quiz/homework score is computed.
Remember: Mathematics is learned by doing. If you do your homework regularly and conscientionsly, your success is guaranteed!

Missed Work:

Late homework will not be accepted under any circumstances as they pose undue burden on the instructor and the graders. Also, there will not be any extra credit problems, so please don't ask for it - you already have enough work to do! For missed exams (Midterms and Final) standard IUB policies apply. Short version: Don't miss exams.
