MATH 222

You are expected to know what happens in a class regardless of whether you attend or not. You are expected to attend all tests. If you know you will be unable to attend a test, let me know beforehand, and I may be able to make arrangements for you to take the test. If you miss a test, there will be a make-up time for all tests on Wednesday, May 11 at noon in S-101. Note, this is the only time when a make-up may be taken. If you decide to take a make-up then, you must inform me during the week before the 11th. Note, this is only a one hour time slot so don't plan on taking more than one test.

In general the class will be a combination of lecture and in class practice. I will present new material, give examples, ask questions, and often give problems for students to try in class. While the students are working, I will go around the class to check on students' progress and give individual help. When the students have finished working on the problem, I will attempt to elicit answers from the class. When asking for answers, I will usually write down any answer given correct or not and ask the proposers of the answers why they believe their answer is correct to try to get the students to see various problems that could be encountered and to reason out what is correct and why.

I understand that you may need to have your cellphone available; however, I would ask that you set your cellphone on vibrate, and if you get a call you need to answer, quietly leave the room. Thank you for your consideration to the whole class.

Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in the classroom are encouraged to contact a disability counselor as soon as possible. Students with learning disabilities should contact Andrea Henry, at extension 1805. Students with physical disabilities should contact Mary Berg, at extension 1425.

As I said above, you are responsible for taking all tests. I will replace one test with the final, so if you miss a test and do not make it up, then I will replace that blank with the final. If you miss more than one test, then the grade you get on the final exam will be used as the grade on that (those) test(s). In addition, if the final exam grade is better than the grade on a test, the final exam grade will be substituted for that test grade. To reiterate, the final will replace at least one grade, the lowest, regardless of whether the final is lower than said test or not.

The above will count for 95% of your grade. The other 5% will be determined by your class participation.
