TARDIS Codes. On all quizzes and exams, you will need to print
your name, sign your name and print your TARDIS code. You will receive your TARDIS code from your TA at your first
discussion meeting. TARDIS stands
for TA, Regular Discussion, Individual Student.
QUIZZES AND EXAMS WITHOUT TARDIS CODES WILL NOT BE
GRADED.
Exams will cover material presented
in lecture, as well as material from the text and homework problems. The quizzes in discussion sections will
also help prepare for midterms and finals.
Quizzes in discussion sections: Quizzes will be given in most
discussion sections.
Pop quizzes: It is very important
not to skip class and to arrive on time for class. Pop quizzes may occur during any lecture are most likely on
mornings when attendance is a bit low.
It is impossible to make up a pop
quiz.
Homework: available online at
http://webwork.math.ucsb.edu/
Calculators and computers: You are free to use these when solving
homework problems, but calculators and
computers are not allowed on exams or quizzes.
Help!
Mathlab in South Hall 1607 is staffed M-F noon-5pm by
TA's who will be happy to help you.
Help is also available through CLAS, the Campus Learning Assistance
Service. See
http://www.clas.ucsb.edu/
Sickness or missing an exam: If you miss a midterm or discussion
section due to illness you should bring your TA a note from a medical worker or
another person in a position of responsibility. At the discretion of the TA, you will be given an average
based upon the other work that you have completed. There are no makeup
exams.
Optional early final on Friday, June 5: There is a cost of 10% which will be
subtracted from your score for taking this early exam. The exam will be different than the
regular one and may be a little harder.
You must inform me in writing by
May 22 if you plan to take this exam.
You must give a reason that I find compelling.
Incompletes: If you cannot complete the course
because of a family tragedy, or some other reason, you must complete a form and
give it to the registrar by 4pm, Friday,
June 5.
Switching discussion sections: You may be able to switch discussion
sections, but this requires permission from both TA's involved. Officially you will usually remain in
the old discussion section.
Late adds: If you add this class late, you must talk to your TA who
will arrange for you to have an average score for the work you missed based
upon the work you do after adding.
