DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR:
On any day, if you disrupt the class you will be asked to leave the classroom and marked absent. You may also be reported for further disciplinary actions. Disruptive behaviors include --but are not limited to -- talking, making inappropriate jokes, using phones in class, leaving class to answer phone, or performing other tasks that are not related to class work.
Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness:
The Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness (SETE) is a requirement for all organized classes at UNT. You must participate in this online short survey at the end of the semester.
ACCOMODATION FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:
The University of North Texas makes reasonable academic accommodation for students with disabilities. Students seeking accommodation must first register with the Office of Disability Accommodation (ODA) to verify their eligibility. If a disability is verified, the ODA will provide you with an accommodation letter to be delivered to faculty to begin a private discussion regarding your specific needs in a course. You may request accommodations at any time, however, ODA notices of accommodation should be provided as early as possible in the semester to avoid any delay in implementation. Note that students must obtain a new letter of accommodation for every semester and must meet with each faculty member prior to implementation in each class. For additional information see the Office of Disability Accommodation website at You may also contact them by phone at 940.565.4323.
NOTES:
Students are responsible for meeting all university deadlines (registration, fee payment, prerequisite verification, drop deadlines, etc). See the printed Schedule of Classes and/or University Catalog for policies and dates.
Electronic access for homework assistance is available at:
Student Responsibilities:
Disruptive behavior that interferes with an instructor's ability to conduct a class or other students' opportunity to learn is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in any instructional forum at UNT. Any student engaging in such behavior will be directed to leave the classroom and may be referred to the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities to be considered whether the student's conduct has violated the Code of Student Conduct. The university's expectations for students’ conduct apply to all instructional forums, including university and electronic classroom, labs, discussion groups, field trips, etc.
• You should read over this syllabus carefully, as I will hold you responsible for the information herein.
• You are expected to read the chapters carefully, including the examples in the book.
• You are responsible for obtaining all handouts. If you are absent when handouts are given, it is your responsibility to obtain copies.
• You should begin to work now. Frequent practice is crucial to the successful completion of a mathematics course. Cramming at the last minute will certainly lead to failure. Typically, successful students would spend an hour or two after each lecture with classmate(s) to review the lesson and work homework problems. Instead of waiting until the last minute, such students work on the assignments, read their textbooks, and make learning notes daily.
• WARNING: If you are in academic trouble, or in danger of losing your financial support, or if your parent or guardian is expecting a certain grade at the end of the semester... start working today! I will refuse to listen to any pleas at the end of the semester. You will receive precisely the grade that you earn.
Test Schedule and Grading Policies
The following schedule is tentative and is subject to capricious changes in case of extracurricular events deemed sufficiently important to the upper administration.
Three Exams:Exam 1: Thursday, February 19, 2015 (9:30am-10:50am)
Exam 2: Thursday, March 26, 2015 (9:30am-10:50am)
Exam 3: Thursday, April 23, 2015 (9:30am-10:50am)
Derivative tests: Pass or Fail: March 5, March 12, April 2 and April 9 (until you pass!)
Comprehensive Final Exam and time: Saturday, May 9, 8:00am-10:00am
Grades: A 90%-100%, B 80% - 89%, C 70% - 79%, D 60% - 69%, F below 60%
• Academic Dishonesty: Cooperation is encouraged in doing the homework assignments but not allowed on the tests/exams. If you are caught cheating, you will be subject to any penalty the instructor deems appropriate, up to and including an automatic F for the course. Furthermore, a letter will be sent to the appropriate dean. Refer to the following university site for the official policy with regards to academic dishonesty. The website is:
• The grade of "I" is designed for students unable to complete work in the course but currently passing the course. The guidelines are clearly spelled out in the Student Handbook. Before asking, you should read these requirements.
Exam Policies
• Unless announced otherwise, any graphing calculator will not be permitted for use on tests/exams.
• I expect to give tests on the dates listed above. However, these are tentative dates. I will announce the exact date of each test in class.
• After a test is returned in class, you have 48 hours to appeal your grade. I will not listen to any appeals after this 48-hour period.
• NO MAKE-UP TESTS WILL BE GIVEN. A test may be taken prior to the scheduled date. I request a week’s notice for this accommodation via email. In the event of a schedule conflict with a university function, dental/physician’s appointment, wedding, formal, etc., you must take the test early. If you do not take a scheduled test, a zero will be recorded for that test and a notice may be sent through the registrar’s office.
There are three in-class exams. If your final exam score is higher than one of your in-class test scores, then that in-class test score will be replaced with final exam score. If you miss an in-class test, a zero will be recorded for that test score and your final exam score will replace that one zero. If you receive a zero for cheating on a test, the final exam score will NOT replace that zero. The final exam score can count as 25% of the course grade or 45% of the course grade. Again, NO MAKE-UP TESTS WILL BE GIVEN FOR ANY REASON EVER.
• The Final Examination will be comprehensive in the sense that problems may come from any sections that have been covered during the semester.
• I reserve the right to test and quiz you on problems which are generalizations of material covered in the class and/or in the text. In short, the problems may not look exactly like the ones in the book.
• Everything that I say in class is fair game for exam material. You will be responsible for everything unless I advise you to the contrary.
Calculators: TI 83, TI 83 Plus, TI 84, TI 84 Plus or equivalent, their use will be supported in class. Examples of calculators not allowed: TI-Nspires, TI 89’s, TI 92’2 or any other utility with alphanumeric/CAS capabilities ARE NOT permitted. A calculator may not be shared during an exam.
HomeworkPolicies
Homework will be assigned every class meeting and is due at the beginning of every Friday’s class period. Please frequently check the B.B.
• Four randomly selected problems from the collected homework will be graded. Show all your detailed work. Even if your answer is correct, no work = no credit.
• When computing the final grade, I will drop the three lowest homework grades before computing the average. I have this policy in case you get sick, have a family emergency, etc., during the semester. You will still be responsible for the material in such assignments during the examinations.
• Because of this policy, I will NOT give extensions on homework assignments, nor will I accept late assignments for any reason whatsoever.
START WORKING NOW: The best way to ensure you pass this course is to work consistently throughout the semester. In mathematics courses topics always build one upon the other making it very difficult to catch up later if you fall behind. If you need to pass this course because it is your last semester, your financial aid depends on it, your scholarship depends on it, or your parent/guardian has threatened to harm you in some manner then do yourself a favor and start studying right away. I will not entertain any pleas for extra credit or offers to do additional work at the end of the semester.
