Grading: The grade will be calculated based on 6 components:
| Daily Work-- includes written assignments, class participation, and in-class presentations. |
40% of the final grade |
| Quizzes | 10 % of the final grade |
| Take-home Midterm | 20 % of the final grade |
| In-Class Midterm | 5% of the final grade |
| Take-home Final | 20% of the final grade |
| In-Class Final | 5% of the final grade |
Significant Dates:
Written assignments, in-class presentations, and class participation expectations and procedures will be much as they were in Foundations. You are expected to be continually working on the assigned problems. On a regular basis you will be expected to present your work to your classmates during class time. You will be asked to write up and turn in some of the problems, but if you confine yourself to working only on the problems that you have to turn in your Daily Work grade will suffer a great deal. Furthermore, these will not give you enough practice to prepare you for the take-home exams and your exam grades will almost certainly suffer as well. Certainly, in any class where class participation is so central, attendance is expected except in cases involving illness or other extenuating circumstances.
The in-class exams will consist of definitions, short answers, true-false questions, examples, etc, and
should be fairly routine if you have been digesting the material as you go along. The take-homes will consist
of proofs you have not seen before. There will be a few quizzes during the course of the semester in which
you will be asked to reproduce the proof of one or more theorems that we have already covered. All the usual rules
about good writing and speaking apply to tests, written assignments, and in-class presentations.
Academic Honesty: I encourage you to work together on everything except exams and quizzes, but I expect every piece of work that you turn in ultimately to be written by you. You will be expected to maintain the usual standards of giving credit where credit is due by letting me know if you worked with a fellow student (there is no penalty for this, it is just academic honesty) or got information from another source.
Disabilities: If you have a physical, psychological, medical or learning disability that may impact your ability to carry out assigned course work, feel free to discuss your concerns in private with me, but you should also consult the Office of Disability Services at 5453. The Coordinator of Disability Services, Erin Salva (salvae@kenyon.edu), will review your concerns and determine, with you, what accommodations are appropriate. (All information and documentation of disability is confidential.) It is Ms. Salva that has the authority and the expertise to decide on the accommodations that are proper for your disability. Though I am happy to help you in any way I can, I cannot make any special accommodations without proper authorization from Ms. Salva.
