Mathematics 6, Summer 1999Finite MathematicsCourse SyllabusInstructor: Karen Shuman Office: 1-L Bradley (in the basement and up the stairs across from the computer lab) Phone: 646-2565 Blitzmail (preferred): Karen.L.Shuman@dartmouth.edu Text: Class Meetings: 8:45 - 9:50 MWF Location: 102 Bradley x-Hour: 9:00 - 9:50 Th Office Hours: TBA Since it is hard to find office hours which work for all students' schedules as well as my own, you are encouraged to sign up for appointments, either individually or in groups, by blitzmail. HomeworkA homework set will be assigned daily. Each set is due at the beginning of the next class period. A selection of problems from each set will be graded to count towards the homework grade, but students must turn in all homework problems assigned. You are encouraged to work together on the homework, but you are expected to write up your own work, even if you did not solve the problem on your own. Your homework must reflect your own understanding of the material, and it should not be copied from another source. Late homework assignments will not be accepted! If an assignment is turned in late, it will not be counted toward the grade. Each student is allowed to drop exactly three homework assignments during the term. This includes homework which is not turned in due to illness.
Tests and Final ExamEach test will cover the previous three weeks' material. Times and locations TBA.
The final exam will be cumulative, and it will emphasize the last part of the course. The final exam will be held during the exam period, August 28 - 31. Students should plan to be on campus to take the final exam at its scheduled time during the exam period.
Computing Your Final GradeDaily homework, two tests, and a final exam will determine your grade in Math 6.
Honor PrincipleAlthough students are encouraged to work together on homework, no help is to be given or received on tests or exams. See the Academic Honor Principle online or on pages 61-62 of the ORC. Physically Disabled and Learning Disabled StudentsStudents with disabilities who are taking this course and may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to discuss this with me as soon as possible. Students should also stop by the Academic Skills Center for support services. |
