Homework Homework will be assigned in Canvas and graded by the MyOpenMath system. Student will access and complete the homework on Canvas. Homework is not meant to be memorized as the problems appearing on the exam may not be directly from the homework. Homework assignments will have a due date, so students should pay close attention to both date and time (see schedule on last page). It is the students’ responsibility to read all emails and Canvas announcements in case changes are necessary. MyOpenMath grades parts of problems as all correct or all wrong. There is no partial credit; however students have multiple chances on each problem. Homework assignments will make up 30% of the course grade. Late homework is not accepted for any reason. No homework grades will be dropped. Worksheets Along with homework, worksheets will be assigned from various topics of the course. Worksheets will be available and due during class times and must be completed and submitted by the due date and time. Student will need to print the worksheets, work on it, and then upload a scanned pdf document on Canvas; it is also acceptable to work it out on paper as long you number the problems and show all work. Student can ask for help from the TA(s) or the course instructor to complete the worksheet. No late worksheet will be accepted. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all submissions are done completely, correctly, legibly, and on time. ONLY what has been submitted on Canvas by the due time will be graded: forgotten pages cannot be added later, and uploads that did not work or are unreadable will be graded as ZERO. There are NO EXCEPTIONS for this, including on the first worksheet. Completion of worksheets will make up 5% of the course grade. Exams There will be four midterm exams which consist of a mix of multiple choice and free response questions. Multiple choice questions are graded correct (for full credit) or incorrect (for no credit), so be careful selecting your response.

Classroom Etiquette Policy Disruptive behavior is defined in the FAU Student Code of Conduct as “activities which interfere with the educational mission within classroom. Students who disrupt the educational experiences of other students and/or the instructors course objectives in a face-to-face or online course are subject to disciplinary action. Such behavior impedes students’ ability to learn or an instructor’s ability to teach. Disruptive behavior may include but is not limited to non-approved use of electronic devices (including cellular telephones); cursing or shouting at others in such a way as to be disruptive; or, other violations of an instructor’s expectations for classroom conduct.” Attendance Policy Students are expected to attend all of their scheduled University classes and to satisfy all academic objectives as outlined by the instructor. The effect of absences upon grades is determined by the instructor, and the University reserves the right to deal at any time with individual cases of non-attendance. Students are responsible for arranging to make up work missed because of legitimate class absence, such as illness, family emergencies, military obligation, court-imposed legal obligations or participation in University-approved activities. Examples of University-approved reasons for absences include participating on an athletic or scholastic team, musical and theatrical performances and debate activities. It is the student’s responsibility to give the instructor notice prior to any anticipated absences and within a reasonable amount of time after an unanticipated absence, ordinarily by the next scheduled class meeting. Instructors must allow each student who is absent for a University-approved reason the opportunity to make up work missed without any reduction in the student’s final course grade as a direct result of such absence. Students are expected to join the course during the assigned class time MWF 9:00am-9:50am via Zoom meetings offered by either the instructor or the TA. All lecture sessions offered by the instructor will be recorded. Exams must be taken on their scheduled day during the scheduled class time. Students who have test accommodations through SAS must have SAS contact the instructor about their accommodations and then make appropriate arrangements with the instructor for tests. Although attendance is not part of the course grade, students will have the opportunity to score extra credit points by attending lecture sessions each week. If a student attends at least a total of 110 minutes of class time a week (remotely or in-person), 1 extra credit point will be earned for that week. If a student attends at least a total of 140 minutes of class time a week (remotely or in-person), 2 extra credit points will be earned for that week. A maximum of 2 extra credit points can be earned each week. This rule will be applicable between January 11 and April 9 (13 weeks), with a possibility of earning a total of 26 extra credit points. The extra credit points will be added to the homework category grade. For any week with 2 class periods (instead of 3), 1 point will be awarded for attending at least 70 minutes and 2 points for attending at least 90 minutes of class periods a week. Students will be expected to spend a considerable amount of time each day of the week on learning the materials from this course. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the due dates for each assignment and complete them on time. It is the student’s responsibility to read all correspondence and communications by the instructor, including Canvas Announcements and all emails. Students are encouraged to communicate with the instructor via FAU email or Canvas mail.
