This class has been included in a pilot test for course and teacher evaluation on line. You will be able to fill out and submit your evaluation survey on line by using a web browser. The surveys will be open for collection from Monday of reading week (November 29) until Monday after finals week (December 13) at 5 PM.
The discussion sessions will be held on Thursdays under the
supervision of the TAs.
Students whose last name initial is A-K go to
Tech LG72 (Parwani).
Homework will be assigned daily but not collected. Several
assignments will consists of Maple Worksheets, and these will be
collected on the discussion session and graded by the TA.
Look at
http://www.math.nwu.edu/maple/ for information about
Maple Worksheets.
There will be short quizzes based on the homework from previous
lectures on the Thursday discussion sessions.
There will be two one-hour Midterm Exams and one two-hour Final Exam.
Only non graphic non programmable calculators will be allowed in the
exams. No make-up exams will be given. In the event of an extreme and
well documented absence (such as hospitalization) the final may be
weighted to count for the missing exam. In the case of a missed exam,
contact the instructor as soon as possible.
Note: The homework is always immediately due, which means that it may
be the subject of the quiz of the next discussion session. The Maple
Worksheets (denoted as "WS") will be collected on the indicated due
date.
