Math 1LS3 Spring 2014 You are expected to check the web page often, at least after each lecture Instructors: For lecture and tutorial times and locations check the Registrar's website at https://adweb.cis.mcmaster.ca/mtt/ Lectures AND tutorials are integral parts of the course and you should plan to attend them regularly. Textbook: Material covered in the course (selection from the following chapters): Homework assignments: Tests: Final Examination: Course Evaluation: The instructor reserves the right to change the weight of any portion of this marking scheme. For students in good academic standing, other weights might be considered. In either case, the final mark will be computed using this weighting and the new weighting(s). The highest score for a particular student will be her/his final mark. At the end of the course the grades may be adjusted but this can only increase your grade and will be done uniformly. We will use the grade equivalence chart published in the Undergraduate Calendar to convert between percentages and letter grades. In case of difficulty/problems: Policy regarding missed work: If you are absent from the university for a minor medical reason, lasting fewer than 5 days, you may report your absence, once per term, without documentation, using the McMaster Student Absence Form. Absences for a longer duration or for other reasons must be reported to your Faculty/Program office, with documentation, and relief from term work may not necessarily be granted. Read this information to see how missed work is treated in 1LS3. Please note that the MSAF may not be used for term work worth 30% or more, nor can it be used for the final examination. Please note! Once a final examination is written, the final grade cannot be adjusted to take into account any special situation. Academic dishonesty: Academic dishonesty is to knowingly act or fail to act in a way that results or could result in unearned academic credit or advantage. This behaviour can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: "Grade of F assigned for academic dishonesty"), and/or suspension or expulsion from the university. It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the various types of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/academicintegrity/ The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty: Your marks:
