A calculator will be needed for this course. If you have been using a
graphing calculator for your Calculus courses, it will be adequate.
There are three lectures per week, conducted in Glatfelter 212, on TuTh, 10:00--11:15am.
You are supposed to attend all lectures. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to make a copy of the classnotes from another student and make sure you learn what you have missed.
Attendance in Math 352 is required.
You are expected to actively participate in class by asking questions, making comments, working on the assignments, and sharing your insights with others. As part of your class participation grade, you are required to attend three of the math department colloquia during the semester. Information regarding these colloquia is on the bulletin board outside Glatfelter 212.
Homework is assigned each Thursday (except test dates) and is due on Tuesday of the following week. The homework assignments will also be posted here.
Homework is a required component of the course. Working the exercises will help you learn, and give you some perspective on your progress. You are encouraged to discuss homework problems with each other, however you must individually write your own solution (see the Honor Code section below).
No late or sloppy homework will be accepted.
You can always check your grades via the BlackBoard site.
There will be four in-class tests, on February 3, February 24, March 17, and April 14. There will be a three-hour Final Exam on Saturday, May 7, 8:30--11:30am.
There will be one computational project, due April 28 by 10:00am. Details will be announced later.
Grades will be determined according to the following table.
| Homework and Qizzes | 15% |
| Lowest Test Score | 5% |
| Remaining Test Scores | 15% each |
| Computational Project | 10% |
| Final Exam | 25% |
As you already know, Gettysburg College operates under an Honor Code.
On each piece of work you submit for grading, you should write out the Honor Pledge by hand and sign it. The Honor Pledge is as follows: I have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid, nor have I witnessed a violation of the Honor Code.
Every student is responsible for abiding by the provisions of the Honor Code, beginning with the first day of classes. Specific details about the ways the honor code applies to this course can be found here.
