Grades will be based on the following:

Homework (25%)

Quizzes (15%)

Participation (15%)
Midterm (20%)
Final examination (25%)

Examinations

Midterm - February 26, 2013.
Final examination - Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 4:40 p.m.
All examinations are closed books and notes.

Students may have one sheet with formulas as a help during each exam.

 

Attendance       

Attendance is not required but highly recommended. Students will earn credit for active participation during the class lectures.

Homework

All homework must be neatly done and handled in on time. NO LATE ASSIGNMENT ACCEPTED POLICY. The evaluation of your performance will take into consideration your understanding expressed in your work, so it is to your advantage to show as much of the steps you used to solve the problems as possible. Instructor reserves the right to administrate extra exams if necessary.

Participation

Active class participation is an essential element of learning.  To facilitate this, clicker system or equivalent will be used and based on the student’s classroom activities participation points will be awarded.  This year we will use TurningPoint 5 hardware and software to allow students response and gather feedback data during classroom presentations. Students interact with TurningPoint through response devices (clickers) or through the internet with web enabled devices (based on the ResponseWare software) using smartphones or PC with internet connections. If students are using clickers they can purchase them at the Tech Depot. Students can purchase ResponseWare licenses through website at http://www.turningtechnologies.com/student . The very first paragraph has the link to the student store. It will prompt students for a school code so that they receive the discounted pricing at OU receives. That school code for OU is ‘M5o1’.

Students with Disabilities

If you have a documented disability that requires an accommodation, please notify me within the first two weeks of the quarter.  Please contact the Office of Institutional Equity for guide and assistance with disability issues.  

Withdrawal

A student may withdraw from class at his discretion up to and including the first 10 weeks of the semester.

Academic Conduct

Cheating on examinations, submitting work of other students as your own, or plagiarism in any form will result in penalties ranging from an F on the assignment or exam to expulsion from the university, depending on the seriousness of the offense.  

Classroom Privacy

Recording of classroom activities by any electronic means, by students, other faculty, university administrators, or others, requires permission of the instructor.  Under no circumstances may verbatim recording of copyrighted classroom lectures and materials by electronic or any other means (including note taking) be conducted for 1) sale, whether or not it is for educational benefit, or 2) for the educational benefit of those not enrolled in the class.  This does not apply to non-verbatim notes taken by students.
