This class
will have six assignments, three term tests, and a final examination.
The assignments and tests will together make up a Term Mark, with
the following distribution:
Assignments (20% of the term mark)
Only the
best 5 of the 6 marks, all with equal weight, to be counted.
Term tests
(80% of the term mark)
Each of
the 3 marks, all with equal weight, to be counted.
The Final
Mark will be computed using a floating 60-40 weighting.
That is,
the higher of the Term and Exam Marks will be worth
60% of the Final Mark.
ABOUT THE ASSIGNMENTS:
The
assignments in this course will be of a style similar to MAT137Y – there
will be both mechanical and theoretical questions, with full solutions
expected.
Each
assignment is due Thursday at 6 p.m. on the weeks indicated in
the class schedule. Hand in your paper in the assignment drop-off
box in the Math Aid Centre (SS1071).
Please note
that the Math Aid Centre closes very promptly at 6 p.m. on Thursdays, so
anyone who is late will not be able to hand in the paper.
No late
assignments or medical notes will be accepted
– this is the reason for counting only 5 of the 6 marks.
ABOUT THE TESTS:
The term tests
will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on the days indicated.
Examination
rooms will be announced before the test.
For those who
have a conflict during that time, there will be an early sitting of the
test from 4 to 6 p.m. on the same day. You must e-mail Felix
Recio well before the day of the test to be given permission to write
the early sitting.
If you believe
that you cannot write a test due to extenuating circumstances, you must
contact Felix Recio to try to obtain permission to skip the test.
You must
provide proper documentation, as anyone who skips a test without prior
approval will get a zero (unless the absence is due to illness, properly
documented).
If you cannot
show up for a test because of illness, you should submit your medical
documentation no later than one week after the day of the test.
