Text: The text is available online at http://online.math.uh.edu/Math3321. Supplementary material will be given in class. We will not follow the material in the text in the same order, and additional topics will be covered.

Weekly Homework: Homework will be collected on Monday in class, starting the second week of class, except on weeks when class does not meet on Monday. In these cases, additional information will be given. A list of problems will be posted from the course homepage along with instructions.

Daily Poppers: Daily grades will be given in lecture beginning the first day of the third week of class. The forms used to answer these questions will be provided online through CourseWare. You will need to print one off and bring it to class each time. Questions will be asked in lecture at random times. You will mark your answers on your bubble form and drop the form in a box at the end of class. Your bubble forms will not be returned.

EMCF: "EMCF" stands for "Electronic Multiple Choice Form". EMCF assignments are answered on CourseWare using the EMCF tab. The questions will be posted on the course homepage. EMCF assignments will typically be given on each Monday, Wednesday and Friday of the semester, with due dates some time the next morning, with the exception of week 1 when the due dates will be somewhat extended. Please see the course homepage for more information.

Exams: There will be a midterm and a final exam. The midterm exam will be given in 2 parts, with one portion taken in class and the other portion given as a take-home exam. The final exam will be given in class at the University scheduled time, and it will be comprehensive.

Grades:

200 points determined by the midterm exam
100 points determined by Daily Poppers and Daily EMCF (equally weighted).
100 points determined by Homework
200 points determined by the final exam
600 points total
Your goal is to obtain as many points as possible!

Attendance is Mandatory!! The daily poppers will be used to determine your attendance in lecture. I will allow you a total of 3 unexcused absences from lecture. You will lose 1% of your grade for every unexcused absence 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.
