Prerequisites:  Math 100 or suitable placement score.

 

Final Exam:  Thursday May 18th 14:45-16:45 

 

Fundamental Skills to be Learned: 

  • Recognizing real life situations where mathematical models apply.
  • Translating the real life situations into mathematical models.
  • Solving the mathematical model.
  • Interpreting the solution in the context of the real life situation.

Attendance: 
Regular attendance is required.  If you are ill, I expect you to make a reasonable effort to come to class. When illness or other emergencies require absence from class, I expect you to contact me immediately, preferably by email.  I expect you to keep up with what is being taught by following in your book and doing the homework.  Late exams or quizzes will not be given for unexcused absences.  Exam and quiz grades for unexcused absences will be zero. 

Grading:  Semester grades will be assigned using the following weighted averages:
Final Exam:  20%            4 Exams: 60% (15% each)             Quizzes:  20% 

Final semester letter grades will be assigned as follows

93-100

Homework:
Homework will be assigned daily.  Daily assignments are posted on my web site.  You will be expected to have assignments completed prior to class time.  Your key to success in Math 109 will be a diligent effort to prepare for class, doing careful complete homework, and asking any and all questions you have during class.  I will check homework via weekly quizzes.  Always show all your work.

Quizzes:
I will give quizzes based on the homework about once a week (except for weeks when there is an exam).  I plan to have ten quizzes over the course of the semester (see proposed schedule).  I will drop the lowest two quiz scores.  The remaining 8 grades will count 2.5% each, making a total of 20% of your grade for the course.  These quizzes may take place during class time on Friday (10-15 minutes or so) OR I might hand the quiz out on Thursday and you will be asked to hand it in on Friday at the beginning of class.  Clearly, then, it will be vitally important to be in class both of those days!

Calculators
Calculators: You may use any four-function, scientific, or graphing calculator, except calculators including pocket organizers, handheld or laptop computers, electronic writing pads or pen-input devices (the Sharp EL 9600 is permitted), calculators built into cellular phones or other wireless communication devices, calculators with a typewriter keypad with keys in QWERTY format (calculators with letter keys not in QWERTY format are permitted), calculators with built-in computer algebra systems, prohibited calculators in this category include: Casio: Algebra fx 2.0, ClassPad 300, and all model numbers that begin with CFX-9970G, Texas Instruments: All model numbers that begin with TI-89 or TI-92, Hewlett-Packard: hp 48GII and all model numbers that begin with hp 40G or hp 49G.  Calculators which have been modified such as calculators with paper tape (remove the tape), calculators that make noise (turn off the sound feature), calculators that can communicate wirelessly with other calculators (completely cover the infrared data port with heavy opaque material, such as duct tape or electrician's tape (includes Hewlett-Packard HP-38G series and HP-48G)), calculators that have power cords (remove all power/electrical cords) are acceptable.

Homework Problems

The homework assignments listed on the assignment sheet may be modified slightly as we go.  I will post the assignment sheet on-line on my website and will keep it updated as need be.

 

Help

Everyone needs help from time to time.  The key to to get help right awaywhen you need it!  Here are some ways to get help:

  • Ask a question in class
  • Ask me during office hours
  • Ask me in an email
  • Get help in the Math Room (SCI A113A)
  • Study with others
  • Go to the group tutoring

 

Disability Accommodations

Reasonable accommodations are available for students who have a documented disability.  Please notify me during the first week of class of any accommodations needed for the course.  All accommodations must be approved through Disability Services, located at 103 Student Services Center or.
