will be due on Mondays (unless otherwise indicated on the class homework page) and will be submitted online through Courseware, starting the second week of
class. A list of problems will be posted
on the course home page along with instructions. Daily Poppers: Daily
grades will be given in lecture beginning the first day of the third
week of class. Students in the face to face lecture (16996) will need
to purchase a course packet of Popper Forms for Math 2311 section 16996
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. Online Quizzes: At least one online quiz will be 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. Quizzes will not reopen once they have closed. The closing dates for the quizzes are posted on your class webpage. Exams: All
sections of Math 2311 take common exams. Three regular exams will be
given during the semester. The 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. 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 2311. The scheduler will be
available approximately 2 weeks prior to the start of the exam cycle.
Exam dates are listed below. Students in the online section
who live more than 100 miles from campus will need to contact the
distance education department (DEservices@uh.edu) to set up remote exam
proctoring. Final Exam: A comprehensive final exam will be given in CASA.
You can access the scheduler for this exam by logging into Courseware. (See information for exempting the final exam below) Exam Dates:
Grades:
Attendance is Mandatory!! The daily poppers will be used to determine your attendance in lecture. (Online students: If you cannot attend the live online lecture then you must do the alternate assignment for that week.) Exemption from the Final:
If your final numerical score for the course is 80 or higher as
calculated by the official Math Department Grade Calculator, then you
may CHOOSE to be exempt from the final. Your grade will be the
grade calculated by the grade calculator at the time of the
deadline. The dates for choosing exemption for the spring
semester of 2014 are April 30th and May 1st. If you are eligible for
exemption and do NOT select to exempt (opt out) on April 30th or May 1st, then
you must take the final.
If you choose to exempt, you may not change your mind after the
deadline has passed. If you do not have a semester numerical
average that is 80.00 or higher by the exemption deadline, then you must take the final (note that there is no rounding of grades for exemptions). Whenever possible, and in accordance with
504/ADA guidelines, we will attempt to provide reasonable academic
accommodations to students who request and require them. |
