Make-up exams will not be given. Exam
4, however, is an optional cumulative exam and will replace the lowest exam
score. If any exam is missed for any reason, Exam
4 will replace that score.
Homework: There will be eight
homework assignments each worth 25 points. Cooperation on homework is
encouraged; copying is not. You are urged to work
together on homework to solve problems; however, each of you must submit your own
write-up.
Office Hours: Office hours are times
when I will be in my office to help you. There are many other times when I am
in my office. If I am in and not busy, I will be happy to help. My office hours
for Fall 2005 semester are 3:00 to 4:00 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and 2:00
to 2:50 Tuesday, or by appointment.
Philosophy: I strongly believe that
you, the student, are the only person who can make yourself learn. Therefore,
whenever it is appropriate, I expect you to "discover" the mathematics we will be exploring. I do not
feel that "lecturing" to you will teach you how to do mathematics. I
hope to be your "guide" while we learn
some mathematics, but you will need to do the learning. I expect each of you
to come to class prepared to discuss the dayís material. That means you will
have to pre-read each section of
the text very carefully before
class.
My idea of education is not "Teaching is telling and learning is
listening". I believe that you must be active in the learning process to
learn well. My job as a teacher, therefore, is not to "tell" you the
answers to the problems we will encounter; rather it is to point you in a
direction that will allow you to see the solutions yourselves. To accomplish
that goal, I will work to find different interactive activities for us to work
on. Your job is to use me, your text, your friends, and any other sources as
resources. Remember, the goal is to learn mathematics, not to pass the exam.
(Incidentally, if you have truly learned the material, the test results will
take care of themselves.)
