This course does not provide credit for students majoring in mathematics nor does it fulfill a general education requirement. Students who would like to take BUS111 but who do not yet feel prepared for it should take MTH110.The text for the class is Applied Mathematics, by Tan, fifth edition, Brooks/Cole. The text's ISBN is 1-4292-1506-2. It is assumed that will you have the text with you at each class meeting.The three semester tests will be given on the dates shown below. Tests are always closed book. No questions will be taken during the exam. You may have a calculator but never a cell phone on your desk during the exam. Cell phones must always be off and out of sight during exams. Cell phone interuptions during an exam will be penalized 1 point per second of interruption. Cell phones out on the desk during exam will be penalized 5 points. Cell phone use during an exam will be penalized 50 points. A missed exam requires prior notification and written documentation that satisfies the instructor before any make-up is allowed. If the make-up is not or cannot be taken then the grade for the exam will be zero. The date of the final exam will be during final exam week as determined by the University.Every student is expected to keep a homework notebook. This notebook should be single subject sized and reserved for MTH110 homework only. These notebooks should come to class every day and will be collected on random days without notice. A grade will be given based on the most recent homework assignment.Assignments will be given in class from time to time. These assignments will either be closed book and announced, or will be open book and unannounced. In addition, students names will be called out randomly in class and asked to participate by providing an answer or explaination to a particular question posed by the instructor. Correct answers will be rewarded with a perfect (10) quiz grade. Incorrect answers will not be penalized, however all students must answer a prescribed number of correct questions by the end of the term. (about five) A student absent without a sanctioned excuse will recieve a quiz grade of zero. There are no makups for missed quizzes, or being caught absent unsanctioned.Students needing to miss a lecture must notify the instructor USING SAKAI, prior to the start of class. Students missing exams will require prior notification and written documentation which satisfies the instructor that a make-up exam is justified.
