Requirements and grades:

The secret to doing well is to attend class and to read the book. You should read each section before we talk about it in class, then again after class, before doing the homework for the section. If you have any trouble understanding it, read it several times, first, quickly for an overall idea what the section is about, then in detail, working out the examples the book uses to make sure you know why each statement is true. Only after this should you start the homework. You may be pleasantly surprised how much easier the homework is with this sort of preparation. You will certainly understand the material and retain more of it, if you study in this way.

Special attention will be paid to the quality of the writing you turn in. Mathematics consists of logical relations between ideas, not just formulas. Understanding the logical relationships will enable you to find solutions to problems, and explaining them makes your work easier to understand for those who read it.

There will be a 10 minute quiz each Wednesday which is not an exam day. Two to four homework assignments will be given each week, depending upon the number of sections in the book covered during the week. Questions about the homework can be answered at class time or during office hours.

Your grade will be determined by your scores on 4 in-class tests, worth 100 points each, on your ten best quizzes, worth 100 points, and a comprehensive final exam, worth 200 points, for a total of 700 points possible.


4 In-class exams       400
10 Best quizzes 100
Final 200
Total 700

Naturally, all work you turn in should be your own. The University has strict policies on intellectual honesty.

Note: The final exam is the same for all sections of Math 2010. Tests from previous semesters are available in the Mathematics Resource Center, across the hall from my office, 1201 FAB. The final will be Thursday, April 28, 1:20 - 3:50, in Lower Deroy Auditorium (46 Deroy).

Policy on absences: Makeup exams will be given only in the event of documented emergencies. Makeup quizzes are not given; only the ten best are used in determining your grade.
