Materials: The textbook, online quizzes, EMCF
assignments, and additional help materials will be made available by
logging into CourseWare at
http://www.casa.uh.edu.
These first portion of these materials are
freely available for the first two weeks of class. All students must
purchase a Course Access Code and enter it on CourseWare by the first day of
the third week of class to continue accessing the course learning
materials. A Course Access Code can be
purchased for $53.55 from the University Bookstore. The material covered in the
course is listed below: Chapter 1 Limits and Continuity Daily Poppers: Daily grades will be given in lecture
beginning the first day of the third week of class. You need to
purchase a course packet of Popper Forms for Math 1431 section 14819
from the BOOK STORE. You must bring one of
these forms to class every day beginning week 3. No other form will be
accepted. Questions will be asked in lecture at random times. You will
mark your answers on your form and drop the form in a box at the end of
class. Your forms will not be returned. Lab Quizzes, Classwork and Homework:
10% of your average will come from a combination of lab quizzes (given
on Thursdays in recitation), written classwork, written homework, and
EMCF questions. "EMCF" stands for "Electronic Multiple
Choice Form" and are answered on CourseWare
using the EMCF tab. All written assignments are turned in
during recitation. All of these grades are out of 10 points each. Online Quizzes: There will be 2-3 online quizzes given each
week. You can attempt these quizzes up to 20 times, and the highest
grade will be used for your score. You can access the quizzes by
logging into CourseWare at http://www.casa.uh.edu.
Quizzes will not reopen once they have closed. Exams: All sections of Math 1431 take common
exams. Four regular exams will be given during the semester. The first exam is an online exam that will be
available by the first day of class at http://www.casa.uh.edu. The other
three exams will be given in CASA (located on the second floor of
Garrison). You can access the scheduler for these exams by logging into
CourseWare at http://www.casa.uh.edu. The
exams given in CASA will consist of both multiple choice and written
questions. The multiple choice questions will be machine graded. The
written questions will be graded by the instructors and teaching
assistants for all sections of Math 1431, and they will be returned in
lab. The scheduler will be available 2 weeks prior to the start of the
exam cycle. Final Exam: A comprehensive final exam will be given in
CASA. You can access the scheduler for this exam by logging into CourseWare at http://www.casa.uh.edu. Grades:
Attendance is Mandatory!!
Attendance
will be taken in lab, and the daily poppers will be used to determine
your attendance in lecture. I will allow you a total of 3 unexcused
absences from lecture and lab (total). You will lose 1% of your grade
for every unexcused absence from lecture or lab after the third.
Documented University of Houston excused absences will be permitted. Whenever possible, and in
accordance with 504/ADA guidelines, we will attempt to provide
reasonable academic accommodations to students who request and require
them. |
