Makeup exams will not be given unless a student can present evidence that an absence was caused by serious illness, a death in the immediate family, religious observance, or participation in University activities at the request of University authorities. For an illness, you must present a signed statement from a doctor that your illness was sufficiently serious to make you miss an exam. (A note saying only that you visited the doctor or the Health Center will not suffice.) Please contact me before an anticipated exam absence, if at all possible. If you have a documented disability and wish to discuss academic accommodations with me, please contact me as soon as possible. Please check your final exam schedule. If there is a potential conflict, the university requires you to contact your instructors during the schedule adjustment period. (Please see me as soon as possible, so we can discuss the situation.)
Homework:
Success in the course is highly correlated with regular attendance and punctual completion of homework. Homework will be assigned at each lecture. You are expected to complete it before the next class meeting (recitation or lecture), writing neatly with proper notation (and good English when appropriate). Please prepare a special loose-leaf Homework Folder in which you will place your work on each assignment (separate from your lecture notes). At the top of the first page for each homework assignment, write the assigned problems and the date they are due. Please bring your homework folder to each office visit. I can give you better help and advice for studying when I see your work and the types of exercises that you find difficult. Homework may be collected regularly, if a grader is assigned to the class. Otherwise, the homework grade will be based on several inspections of your homework folder.
Please print a copy of this syllabus, read it carefully, sign your name below, and keep this copy in the front of your homework folder.
Grading:
The final grade will be based on 500 points: midterm exams (300), homework (50), and final exam (150). The tentative cutoff scores are: 450 (A), 400 (B), 350 (C), and 300 (D).
E-Mail:
You may write to me at layatmath dotumd dotedu . I am pleased to hear from students, and I usually read and answer my email on MWF afternoons or evenings. But I must make some rules, to avoid being overwhelmed with emails (and spam). Each email message must contain your course name (MATH 221) in the message header. I may not respond if that information is missing, because I file my student email by course (and section number). If your message will be more than a few sentences, then please see me during office hours instead. If you cannot attend office hours, please speak to me after class or send a list of the times when you can come, and I'll try to find a time that works.
"I have read the syllabus carefully and I understand my responsibilities in this course."
