21-117: Integration and Differential Equations
Exams
The course will have two exams. The First Exam will be given in class on
Friday, February 11. The Second Exam will be
given in class on Friday March 3. There
will be an opportunity for students to take a retest to improve their score
on the First Exam.
Tests will be closed book and no calculators.
A student may reschedule an exam in case of documented illness or family
emergency or documented University sponsored trips.
Homework
There will be two homework assignments per week, to be turned in at the
beginning of each recitation. While this set of problems
will be collected and graded, it should be taken as a minimal selection.
You should test your knowledge by doing other problems in the
appropriate section.
Late homeworks will be accepted up to seven days after the due date,
with or without excuse. There will be no penalty for the first late
assignment. The second may be turned in for half credit, the third for one
quarter credit, and so forth. There will be absolutely no exceptions to
these rules.
Grading policy
The final grade for the course will be determined by your performance
on the homework and on the two exams, according
to the following algorithm:
Homework 20%
First Exam 40%
Second Exam 40%
Letter Grades
Letter grades will be assigned according to the following guidelines:
R: < 49, D: 50-64, C: 65-74, B: 75-84, A: > 85
Adjustments to this scheme may be made if there is some operator-error in
making up the tests.
Cheating
Any cheating on the mid-term or final exam
will, at minimum, result in failure on that test, at maxmum, in
failure for the course. The incident will be reported to the Dean of
Students per University policy.
Cheating includes, but is not limited to, receiving aid from another student,
giving aid to another student, or use of unauthorized materials.
