Final Exam (4:00-6:00 pm) |
Assessment
- Homework :
- Every Wednesday problems from the book will be assigned, covering the sections that will be treated during the week. A part of them (those starred) will be collected on Thursday of the next week (except the weeks after the midterms and the week before the final). The first homework assignment is due on Thursday, April 7. Even if you have to submit only a handful of problems, you are strongly recommended to work on all of the problems that are suggested. It is only by practicing that you will be able to succeed in this course.
- On Thursdays, detailed solutions of all the problems of the previous week (starred and non-starred) will be posted on the website. If you need some help to solve these problems do not hesitate to mention it during the discussion sessions or to contact me or your TA.
- There will be 6 collected homework assignments. The lowest score among these homework scores will be dropped. No late homework will be accepted.
-
Quizzes : there will be 6 quizzes, one on every Thursday’s discussion except the weeks after the midterms and the week before the final. The first quiz will be on Thursday, April 7. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped. There will be no make-up quiz. Each quiz will cover the material of the previous week up to what were taught on Monday, included (exactly like the homework assignment that you have to submit on the same day). You can expect the quiz problems to be similar to the homework problems.
-
Midterms : there will be 2 midterms during regular class time :
- Midterm 1 will take place on Friday, April 22.
- Midterm 2 will take place on Monday, May 16.
-
Final exam : the final exam will take place on Monday, June 6 between 4:00 and 6:00 pm.
No calculator will be allowed during the quizzes or exams. Except in the event of an emergency, there will be no make-up exam. The overall course grades will not be curved.
The final grade will be computed according to the following distribution :

Sample exams and review problems
Before every exam I will provide you with a sample exam. Before the final I will also give you review problems. Both reflect very closely what the exams will look like. I thus strongly encourage you to work on them and come to me or Raymond if you have any question or need any help solving them.
Department add/drop policy
All enrollment is handled on-line, by the student, through the student’s WebReg account. Students can add classes up until the end of the second week of the quarter. After this date, the department will not authorize any more adds. Students can drop classes up until the end of the second week. After this date, students can petition the department’s Undergraduate Coordinator (through the student’s WebReg account) to drop a course provided they have a legitimate excuse. Instructors do NOT at any time approve students for adds, nor do they approve students for drops. For any information regarding enrollment or the add/drop policy of the department please refer to the following link : http://www.math.uci.edu/undergrad-courses/ course-registration-and-placement-information.
