Assessment HW:There will be four homeworks that will be posted on course web page a week before the due date. The homework problems will most likely be from the textbook, but there may be additional problems. Midterm: There will be two midterms, which will take place in class and be 50 minutes long. Final: The final exam will be cumulative and be 170 minutes long. Grade breakdown: Four Homeworks (5% each), Midterm 1 (25%), Midterm 2 (25%), Final (30%) Important Dates Midterm 1 . . . . . .

Grading Policy After all grades are in and all overall percentage scores for students have been computed using the weights described above, grades are assigned. The standard cutoffs are as follows. A: [90%, 100%]

B: [80%, 90%)

C: [70%, 80%)

D: [60%, 70%)

F: [0%, 60%)

So, to guarantee an A, get 90% or better overall. (90 means 90, not 89.9) To guarantee at least a B grade, get 80% or better overall, etc. These cutoffs might be adjusted, but only in the downward direction (to make letter grades higher). In the event of a curve, only your final overall percentage grade for the course will be curved. Individual assessments will not be curved as we go along. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities If you are a student with learning needs that require special accommodation, contact the Office of Disability Services http://disabilityservices.gatech.edu/ as soon as possible to make an appointment to discuss your special needs and to obtain an accommodations letter. Please also e-mail your instructor as soon as possible in order to set up a time to discuss your learning needs. Collaboration & Group Work Students who copy assignments, allow assignments to be copied, or cheat on tests will fail the assignment or test on the first offense, and will fail the entire course on the second. On the other hand, you are encouraged to discuss course material and homework assignments with your colleagues. Extensions, Late Assignments, & Re-Scheduled/Missed Exams Make-up exams will be given only for documented reasons of illness, family emergency, or participation in approved Institute activities (such as field trips and athletic events, see http://catalog.gatech.edu/r ules/12/ for more information). The instructor can make other arrangements instead of makeup, such as reweighting of your available scores. Use of Digital Devices page 2 of 4

There is no extra credit, except possibly in the form of a bonus question on an exam. There are also no quiz re-takes or exam re-takes. 2. You can use calculators to check your computations when doing homework. You are NOT allowed to use a calculator on quizzes or exams unless stated otherwise. 3. Once a quiz or exam has been graded, the grades will be entered on Canvas. Please check that the grade on your assessment matches the grade recorded on Canvas. Email policy For questions relating to course structure, please check the syllabus first. Exam dates, policies, etc. are available on the syllabus. Let’s not discuss grades by email. Any questions about grades (including “the curve”) should be asked during office hours or in an appointment scheduled outside of office hours. Additional resources and tutoring The Math Lab offers tutoring, and there is also free 1-to-1 tutoring. If appointments are full when you are available, you may request additional tutoring. We also have PLUS sessions. A comprehensive list of tutoring resources is available here. Waitlists, Registration, Permits, etc. Instructors are forbidden from doing anything regarding class registration. They cannot issue permits, remove students from waitlists, etc. For guidelines on such matters, please consult https://math.gatech.edu/permitsand-waitlists. Attendance in Lecture You are expected to come prepared (reviewing previous material) to every lecture. Class disruptions of any kind will not be tolerated and may result in your removal from the classroom. Please show courtesy to your fellow classmates and instructor by adhering to the following class rules: unless otherwise directed, turning off all laptops, cellular phones, and all other electronic devices (unless being used for note-taking) during class, coming to class on time and staying for the entire class period, refraining from conversing with your fellow students, and putting away any reading materials unrelated to the course. In the event of an absence, you are responsible for all missed materials, assignments, and any additional announcements or schedule changes given in class. page 3 of 4
