My grading practice

I know that getting good grades can sometimes be stressful. To help reduce that stress and improve the likelihood of getting your best grades, allow yourself the time and space you need to do your best work. Don't procrastinate, and if you get stuck on an assignment, reach out to me or one of your peers. I welcome your questions and I'm happy to help you think through your ideas so you can successfully complete an assignment. You know how to reach me, right?

canvas assignments

You will complete frequent Canvas assignments, including technology-based tasks, discussion boards, and other activities. These assignments will help ensure you're demonstrating proper mathematical notation and communication. This means clearly defining all variables, showing all steps of your calculations, including diagrams when appropriate, and writing clear, complete, grammatically correct explanations. Your explanations may be written in English, mathematical notation, or a combination of both. Presentation matters—solutions must appear in the order assigned, and final answers should be neatly boxed or circled. To support your success, I will drop the lowest few Canvas assignment scores.

webassign

Homework is designed as practice. Please practice writing the homework out with the notation shown in class. It is much better for your understanding of the concepts to stay on top of the homework; budget time each day to study and/or review. Sometimes, homework will take less time and more time could be spent reviewing the concepts. Homework is designed as practice. Homework will be submitted online on WebAssign. I will drop the lowest couple of WebAssign assignment scores.

EXAMS

There will be a total of three exams, please see the schedule for exam dates. To prepare, students should review the assigned reading, homework questions, and the lecture notes. There will be no dropped exams. Students will take their exams at the APC (Academic Proctoring Center) or other approved proctoring center, more information on this will be given in Canvas.

Incomplete Grade

Students seeking a grade of Incomplete must consult with me no later than the week prior to finals. A grade of Incomplete will only be considered for unforeseeable, emergency and justifiable reasons at the end of the term, and only upon agreement of conditions for completing coursework.
