Tests and Quizzes
There will be in-class quizzes. All quizzes will be unannounced.
There are no planned make-ups for quizzes. There will be 5 (or more) quizzes during the term and the lowest score on the quiz will not count towards your grade. So missing a quiz or scoring low on a quiz does not hurt you.
There will be two 90-min tests (in class) with 100 points for each test.
No make-up tests will be given.
Each student will give an in-class presentation; these will be towards the end of the semester and more details will be provided in due course.
If you have to miss a test and you have a written excuse according to the University Policies, then you will be given 50% extra credit on the final.
The final exam will be in class on the last day (Monday, May 11th); it will be for two hours and worth 150 points.
The University of Maryland has implemented a new Honor
Pledge. Please see the university regulations on academic
integrity.
Homework
Homework problems will be assigned throughout the course. It is required to hand in homework; they will be collected every Friday and graded.
Tutoring
The Mathematics Department offers drop-in tutoring in Room 0301 of the Math Building. Note the many hours on the Drop-In Tutoring Schedule at which Math 241 TAs are available this semester
Usually, it is better for you to make use of the many free opportunities for
help, rather than pay someone not currently affiliated with the course
(individual tutors are expensive). However, in some cases an individual might
benefit from an individual tutor, and there is also a list of qualified tutors-for-pay
kept in the Department of Mathematics at the Undergraduate Office. Other tutors
are free lance; some are fine and some are terrible -- be careful. In
particular, be wary of any tutoring service which guarantees improved scores.
No tutor can guarantee your scores.
