Boston: Houghton Mifflin.Math 302A Class NotesHomework: Homework will be assigned and collected weekly. Homework assignments will be posted on the course websitewww.math.arizona.edu/~cblackburn/courses. The course website should be checked frequently for new assignments, announcements,or other important materials. Problems on the homework list to be turned in will be indicated in red and bold. All assignments are dueat the beginning of class. Late Work: Late work will be accepted for reduced credit (as much as one letter grade) before the exam covering the material isgiven. No credit will be given for late work after the material has been given in an exam but will still be accepted if you wish toreceive feedback. Your instructor cannot guarantee a timely feedback on late work.Grading: Assignments in the Homework category (worth 10% of your grade) can be distinguished from the Quizzes / Projects /Explorations / Other category in the 302 A/B Orientation/Course Policy in the following way: Work from the homework category will be assigned from the “Exercises” sections of the main text by Bassarear. These problems willtypically be graded on the following 4 points scale:+1 you show the (organized) work you did to arrive at the correct answer+2 you can explain (coherently) the strategy you used to find your solution / justify your solution+1 you extend your thinkingNote: All other written assignments (e.g. quizzes, projects, explorations, in-class activities, class notes, anything from the main textnot from the “Exercises” sections) do NOT belong to the Homework category unless specified.Academic Integrity: You are encouraged to collaborate with others throughout this course. If you use ideas from books, friends, otherteachers, or the internet, GIVE THEM CREDIT. If you want to use someone’s words exactly or nearly exactly the way he or she usedthem, make sure you cite them. However, make sure the work you submit is your own. Do not plagiarize. The Code of Academic Integrity will be enforced in all areas of this course. Please familiarize yourself with this code by going to the following link: http://dos.web.arizona.edu/uapolicies/.Homework Format: In this class, it is acceptable to turn in hand-written work, so long as I can read it. If I cannot read it, I cannotgrade it. If your homework is multiple pages, please staple the pages together, no folding corners! Please do not combine work to turnin across categories – that is, do not attach a homework assignment to an exploration even if they were due on the same day.Missed Exams: If you miss an exam due to an emergency, please contact your instructor as soon as possible and in any case, beforethe next regularly scheduled class. As attendance in this course is mandatory, everyone is expected to take the exams at the scheduledtime. Exceptions must be made with consent of the instructor.Calculators: You should have access to a calculator (any kind) during this course both in and out of class. Calculators may or may notbe allowed on exams so make sure you can also do the work accurately by hand. You will be informed ahead of time whether or notyou can use a calculator for exams.Your calculator is a powerful tool. Learn how to use it wisely and never expect it to be a replacement for careful reasoning andthinking. You should have the mindset that your calculator is a tool for checking your work and testing your reasoning. Think abouthow you might use your calculator in various situations to identify patterns and relationships, or even more importantly, to verify yourwork so that you can be confident about your
