Grading:
A: 90 and above, B: 80 – 89.9, C: 70 – 79.9, D: 60 – 69.9, F: Below 60
Grading Distribution:
Exams: Three exams , each can be cumulative ------75 % of your grade
Quizzes: Long quiz average - may replace your lowest exam
Project: 5 % of grade – possible grades: 95, 85, 70
Final Exam: Comprehensive – no exemptions – everybody must take final---- 20 % of grade
Homework and short quizzes: will be used as a bonus. See below for details.
Homework:
You will have assigned HW almost every day. You will not turn it in but you will be required to
keep it in a folder. Your HW folder will be due on exam day. At the end of the
semester I will add 2 points to your average if you turned in your HW folder every time (4 times)
I will not give you these bonus points until the last moment possible – that
way you will understand why I can not curve a grade of 75 to a B – even though the
average ends up being 77. To get this bonus HW folder must be done as requested by me.
Quizzes:
Short(2-10 minute) will be part of your HW
Long (7-8 , 20 minute) quizzes will be given along the way – . I will count the top five.
Exams(during Semester):
Three Exams, No make ups. Exam dates will be announced at least one week in advance.
Exams may be cumulative in nature, make sure to correct each exam and keep for further study.
In the event that you have to miss an exam – your long quiz average will replace it. If you miss more
than one exam , then I will talk to you on an individual basis.
I will try to return each exam the next class meeting after you take the exam. It is very likely that I will not be able to accomplish that – be prepared to wait one more class day.
Final Exam: Comprehensive.
Exam must be taken. No choice about it. See top of page for time and
date. Please notice the times of your final exams. Any problems should be taken care of now
Bonus:
1) during the semester you have HW folder you can turn in for two points on your
overall average ( after the final exam )
2) Absences:
0 – 3 absences : I will add four points to your final exam grade.
4 or more: no points
Note: a tardy may be counted as an absence – it is up to the discretion of the instructor. If you walk
in late, you may assume that you are absent unless instructor tells you otherwise. If you leave
early, assume you are absent unless told otherwise by the instructor.
******************HW Format ***********************
1. You must bring your HW/QZ folder to class on exam day – if you forget to bring it, do not ask to
bring it later.
2. Front page should include a table of contents: consisting of
a) your name,
b) number of absences since last exam,
c) total absences since beginning of semester
d) assignment #, date assigned, page # and problems ( you can use the sheet I have given you)
at the bottom, you should include the percentage of HW problems turned in ( over 80 %, 50-75
%, less than 50 % )
3. At the end of the semester you must have the grade sheet and it must be initialed all three previous
times.
Project:
Set up an imaginary project.
1) Describe your experiment: sample space, possible outcomes, conditions
2) Describe events and probabilities
3) Other conditions
4) Anything else you can add to it
5) conclusion
6) 10-15 minute presentation ( light )
7)typed
Throughout the semester you will have had a chance to improve your grade with bonus points. Because of this I hope you understand why an 89.9 is a B, a 79.9 is a C, ….
There will be no negotiating on this matter. If you need to make a C or above, let’s work on it from the very beginning and not wait till the very end. I hope you get the letter grade you desire.

Course Objectives
1. Gain factual knowledge. Learn the vocabulary and basic definitions related to set theory, counting techniques, probability, statistics, derivatives and integration.
2. Learn fundamental principles. Become familiar with the properties associated with probability models and probability experiments as well as the relationships between probability and statistics; normal probability distributions; the formulas and concepts underlying descriptive statistics; limits, derivatives and integrals.
3. Learn to apply the course material. Use the facts, formulas and techniques learned in this course to analyze data in various ways; apply probability models to business problems; maximize and minimize profit and loss respectively using derivatives; explore the relationships between integration and probability.
4. Develop specific skills. Acquire a level of proficiency in the following areas: use counting and various techniques (such as Baye's formula and the formulas associated to binomial experiments) to solve probability problems; use normal curves to answer statistical questions; use the formulas for mean, median, mode, range and sample standard deviation to analyze data sets; use the derivative formulas to take derivatives; apply integration techniques; be proficient enough to successfully complete courses requiring math 1312 as a prerequisite.
