Evaluation Guidelines 1. All quizzes, tests, and the exam will be closed-book and written without any calculators or other aids. 2. You must bring your Ryerson Photo ID to both midterm tests and to the final exam. 3. There will be no supplemental exam. 4. Grades will be assigned as indicated in the Ryerson 2018/19 Calendar. 5. Any tests or quizzes written in pencil or erasable pen may be ineligible for remarking. 6. There is no intrinsic reason for giving a non-zero mark for an incorrect solution. Part marks (if any) are awarded entirely at the examiner’s discretion. If a test is submitted for re-marking, the whole test may be re-marked. The result may possibly be that the student receives a lower mark on any or all questions. 7. Students must read and comply with the Statement on Academic Ethics and the Senate Resolution on Academic Dishonesty as found in the Senate Policy Statements distributed at

student, glancing over another student’s paper or being caught with non-allowed materials during an evaluation may result in a zero mark for that evaluation and a record of academic misconduct lodged with the Registrar’s office. 1 Changes to and clarifications of details in this course management form (such as room numbers for tests) will be announced to the class on at least two different occasions before they take effect (except in unavoidable emergencies which permit only one announcement). 2 All chapter and section references pertain to Calculus, Early Transcendentals, (8th Ed.), by James Stewart

8. During an evaluation sharing of pencils, pens or erasers is NOT PERMITTED and PDAs, phones and pagers must be turned off and out of reach.

must be requested within 10 working days of the evaluation being returned to the class.

Missed Evaluations 1. Medical Certificates: Students who cannot be present for a quiz, a test, or the final exam because of illness must contact the First Year Common Engineering Office (416-979-5000 ext 4261, ENG377) prior to the time of the evaluation or within the time period stated in Policy 134. Also, the student must contact the professor in three days to inform the professor about missing the test and going to present his/her medical certificate to FYCEO in three days. They must also submit a Ryerson-approved medical form filled out by their doctor stating, among other things, that they were too ill to attend school on the day of the evaluation and giving the expected duration of their illness (blank forms can be obtained from the Department of Mathematics office or from other academic departments, or from the very serious reasons, properly documented, can be considered as valid excuses for missing

2. Religious Observance: Any quiz, test, or final exam which will be missed due to religious, aboriginal, or spiritual observance must be requested within the first two weeks of class, or in the case of the final exam within two weeks after the exam schedule is posted (in keeping with Policy 150). If the date(s) of the required absence is not known in advance as it is linked to other conditions, the relevant forms should be submitted with as much lead

3. Students who need academic accommodation support should register with the Academic Accommodation Support office (formerly called the Access Centre). Before the first graded work is due, registered students should inform their instructors through an “Accommodation Form for Professors” that they are registered with Academic Accommodation Support and what accommodations are required. 4. If a test is missed for a valid reason as described above, there will be a make-up test soon after the test. Tentatively, the make-up for Test 1 will be on Oct. 9 at 8am, and the make-up for Test 2 will be on Nov. 13 at 8am. These dates will be confirmed the week before. PLEASE NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL MAKE-UP TESTS. Make-ups should cover the same material as the original assessment but need not be of an identical format. MTH140 - Course Management Form

5. Students who miss a final exam for a verifiable reason and who cannot be given a make-up exam prior to the submission of final course grades, mainly in three days after the final exam, must be given a grade of INC (as outlined in the Grading Promotion and Academic Standing Policy) and a make-up exam (normally within 2 weeks of the beginning of the next semester) that carries the same weight and measures the same knowledge, must be scheduled. 6. If proper documentation is not received within reasonable time, the mark for the missed evaluation will be zero.

Lab Procedure & Regulations 1. No labs will take place during the first week of classes. 2. Labs meet once a week, starting the week of September 10-14, 2018. 3. Each student must attend the lab section indicated in his/her individual timetable. Do not attend a different lab section. Your name will not appear on the class list. Please check your schedule carefully to be certain that you are going to the correct lab section. 4. Unless indicated otherwise, there will be a quiz during the weekly labs in the following weeks: Quiz 1 (Week of September 17-21) Quiz 2 (Week of October 1-5) Quiz 3 (Week of October 22-26) Quiz 4 (Week of November 12-16) 5. Students who cannot be present for a quiz because of illness should follow the same procedure as for a missed test, outlined above. If a quiz is missed with a valid reason, then the student’s quiz mark will be averaged over the remaining quizzes. THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL QUIZZES. If proper documentation is not received within three days, the mark for the missed quiz will be zero.

Student Email Policy states that Ryerson email accounts are to be used for communication with students. All students which they receive communication. This is the email address that the professor will use to communicate with students and the professor may not (or will not) respond to any other address.
