Exam Dates: Test 1 - Wednesday, September 28, (5:30 - 7:00 pm); Test 2 - Wednesday, November 9, (5:30 - 7:00 pm); Final Exam - Thursday, December 8, (3:30 - 5:30 pm). You must set the above times aside for the tests. Early and makeup exams are impossible because sharing the file would compromise the test.

Attendance Policy: Attendance is required. It is important for us to build a shared understanding of the material so that we can build on it together. Please consider leaving all digital devices away for the duration of our meetings unless we're using them to engage Canvas/ upload quizzes/ etc.

Attendance and Your Health: To achieve course learning goals, students must attend and participate in classes, according to your instructors' requirements. However, if you feel unwell or if you are under quarantine or in isolation because you have been exposed to the virus or tested positive for it, you should not come to campus or attend in-person classes or activities. Students have the responsibility to contact their instructors to create a plan for participation and engagement in the course as soon as they are able to do so and to make a plan to complete all assignments in a timely fashion when illness delays their completion.

Changes to the Syllabus: The syllabus is subject to change based on the needs of the class. Changes and adjustments will be announced as early as possible so that students can plan accordingly.

Quizzes: There will be a 15-20 min. quiz every week (when there is no midterm). Each quiz will consist of 3-5 problems similar to the ones assigned in the homework.

Letter Grades: 93-100 A, 90-92 A-, 87-89 B+, 83-86 B, 80-82 B-, 77-79 C+, 73-76 C, 70-72 C-, 65-69 D+, 55-64 D, 50-54 D-, 0-49 F.

Exam Security Policy: We have a zero tolerance policy for cheating on the tests and quizzes. Any student caught cheating will receive a score of 0 on the test or quiz and will be reported to the Student Code of Conduct Board. This is consistent with the Temple University Academic Honor Code (see https://secretary.temple.edu/sites/secretary/files/policies/03.70.12.pdf ) that states: "Every member of the university community is responsible for upholding the highest standards of honesty at all times. Students, as members of the community, are responsible for adhering to the principles of academic honesty and integrity." All electronic devices required for testing must be used only for the purposed of accessing and submitting the exam. They are not allowed to be used for accessing information from outside sources. Students are not permitted to communicate with one another during the exam or quiz.

Academic Support: The Student Success Center (SSC) and the Math TA and CA Consulting Center (MCC) both provide excellent support services for this course throughout the semester. Information regarding the services these centers provide will be posted on the course Canvas page. Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of these services! Some information can be found here: https://www.math.temple.edu/ugrad/tutoring/MCC.html and here: https://studentsuccess.temple.edu/.

Disability Statement: Any student who has a need for accommodations based on the impact of a documented disability or medical condition should contact Disability Resources and Services (DRS) in Howard Gittis Student Center South, Rm 420 (drs@temple.edu; 215-204-1280) to request accommodations and learn more about the resources available to you.

I will work with you and with DRS to coordinate reasonable accommodations for all students with documented disabilities. All discussions related to your accommodations will be confidential.

Academic Freedom: Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The University has adopted a policy on Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities (Policy # 03.70.02) which can be accessed here (opens in new tab/window).

Add/Drop Policy: Students will be charged for a course unless dropped by the Drop/Add deadline date. Check the University calendar (opens in new tab/window) for exact dates.

During the Drop/Add period, students may drop a course with no record of the class appearing on their transcript. Students are not financially responsible for any courses dropped during this period. In the following weeks prior to or on the withdrawal date students may withdraw from a course with the grade of "W" appearing on their transcript. After the withdrawal date students may not withdraw from courses. Check the University Calendar (opens in new tab/window) for exact dates. See the full policy by clicking here (opens in new tab/window).

Incomplete Policy: The grade "I" (an "incomplete") is only given if students cannot complete the course work due to circumstances beyond their control. It is necessary for the student to have completed the majority of the course work with a passing average and to sign an incomplete contract which clearly states what is left for the student to do and the deadline by which the work must be completed. The incomplete contract must also include a default grade that will be used in case the "I" grade is not resolved by the agreed deadline. See the full policy by clicking here (opens in new tab/window).
