Prerequisite:

A working knowledge of MAC 2311 and 2312 will be assumed.

 

Course description:

MAC 2313 is the third course in the three semester sequence MAC 2311, MAC 2312 and MAC 2313 covering basic calculus. We will be covering chapters 12 through 16 from the text.

 

Attendance Policy :

Registration in this course obligates the student to be regular and punctual in class attendance. A student absent from class bears full responsibility for subject material and announcements missed.

 

Academic Honesty :

Please see the student handbook for a statement of the University's policy. Your work should be your own.

 

Students with Disabilities:

Students requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Office. The Dean of Students Office will provide documentation to the student which must be given to me.

 

Grade Policy :

When you receive any graded material, you have only one week to discuss the grade received with me during office hours. After that week the grades are final. Grades can only be discussed during office hours.

 

Grades Breakdown :

Points will be earned through quizzes, exams and the final. Namely:

          a) 5 quizzes (out of 7) each worth 10 points.

b) 3 Exams and the cumulative Final Exam each worth 50 points.

 

The total points available are 5*10+4*50= 250

 

 

Letter Grades :

In order to calculate your letter grade you must sum up all the points you have following the previous list. The letter grades are assigned according to the following table, with the lowest percent to the right of the letter grade:

 

 

A

90%

C

70%

A-

87%

C-

67%

B+

84%

D+

64%

B

80%

D

61%

B-

77%

E

Else!

C+

74%

                                                                                                                                

 

 

Due to opportunities for bonus points, you will be assigned the grade on the per-cent you earn. Even if you are 0.5 point away from the next grade up, you will receive the grade you earned.

 

Keeping score:

         I will be keeping track of grades on Sakai, however it is your responsibility to obtain your graded exams and quizzes. They will be returned to you in a timely manner. If you want to argue an exam or quiz, you must do so within one week of the date it is returned to you. However, the entirety will be re-graded - if there is some leniency shown in some problems, you may end up with a score lower than what you started with, so be sure you look through everything first! Due to University policy, we are not allowed to e-mail any grades, so please don't e-mail me asking for grades. You must pick up your quizzes and exams in class or office hours and grades must be discussed in person and only during office hours.

 

 

Quizzes, Exams, Final :

a)     The quiz will be given on Friday in the last 20 minutes of class. It is going to cover the material of the previous week. There will be 7 quizzes all together. The best 5 out of those 7 will count.

 

     b) There are going to be 4 exams (including the final) throughout the semester. Please see the calendar for Exams and quizzes dates.

         The Final Exam will be on Thursday May 3rd from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

 

 

Make Up Policy :

Every student is allowed to drop 2 quizzes, so there will be NO MAKE UP for missed quizzes.

         Exams cannot be made up, unless the student has a serious reason to miss the Exam (e.g. due to illness, participation in official UF athletic events).

         The student MUST provide a legitimate documented reason for missing an Exam. This must be done in advance, unless there is a medical

         emergency, and in this case, the student must provide the legitimate written documentation to me no more than a week after the missed Exam.

The students will NOT be allowed to take Exams or quizzes earlier than the scheduled time.

 

Office hours:  I will hold 3 office hours per week. The purpose is to cover difficult problems or clarify concepts covered in class. They are not for re-teaching the material due to absence. Please utilize my office hours efficiently or make an appointment if you can’t meet during office hours.
