Resources
·
The MATH 126 web page for all sections. This
webpage contains weekly outline of the material to be covered in class, as well
as the list of weekly worksheets, supplemental materials and homework. There is also other useful information such
as samples of old exams and quizzes, and information on calculators.
·
Read the NOTE to
the student which explains the general objectives and expectations of the course.
Pay special attention if this is your
first math course at UW.
·
Math Study Center (Communications B-014): This is a great place to study individually
or in groups and the best place to get help.
It has tutors available to answer questions and many professors choose
MSC as a place to hold office hours.
The MSC hours are: M-Th. 9:30am
– 9:30pm; Fri. 9:30am – 1:30pm; Sun. 2:00pm-6:00pm.

Office Hours for all instructors and TAs for the Fall 126
sections.
Lecture Courtesy. Please be on time for
class. If you have to be late on a regular basis because of your schedule, talk
to the instructor. Please do not get up and leave in the middle of lecture; you
are neither invisible nor inaudible, and you do disrupt both the lecturer and
the other students. If for some special reason you must leave one lecture
early, please sit on the aisle near the door and leave as quietly as possible.
(I do not insist that you tell me before lecture why you will be leaving early,
but be aware that some faculty feel that it is only common courtesy that you do
so.) Please DO NOT start zipping up your bag and other preparations for leaving
until the end of class. Please turn off your cell phone and any other device
capable of producing sounds during class. I will try to do the same!

Homework discussion and quizzes (Tuesday). You will have an opportunity to ask questions about homework during the
Tuesday TA session. There will be a 20 minute quiz every week at the end of the Tuesday TA
session with the exception of the 1st week of classes, the week of
the 1st midterm and the Thanksgiving week. The first quiz (week 2) will be on the review
material and will not count towards your grade.
Worksheets (Thursday). You will do worksheets every week during the Thursday TA session. BRING A COPY of the
worksheet you will be working on to class each Thursday. You can download
worksheets from the MATH 126
website. Go to the outline of the current week and click on the link for the
``worksheet”.
Homework. Homework problems will be assigned after each
lecture. The assignment can be obtained
from Math 126 web page and will NOT
be announced in class. Homework will be
collected weekly during the Tuesday TA session, except for the first and last week,
and the weeks following midterms. The homework assignment due on Tuesday is the
homework assigned on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of the preceding week. Check
the schedule for more detailed information on which
homework is due when. The homework is graded out of 10 points. We choose two problems to grade for each
homework, out of 4 points each; 2 more points are given for completeness.
Exams. There will be two midterm exams: October 18th, and November 17th. The Final exam is on Saturday, December 9th, 1:30-4:20 pm.
Calculator and notes policy for exams and
quizzes. You may
use a scientific calculator for Math 126. The scientific calculator should have
trigonometric functions, like Sin and
Late homework and test make-up. Late
homework will NOT be accepted. If you cannot make it to class the day when the
homework is due, try to arrange for someone else to hand in your homework.
There are no make-ups for quizzes but the lowest quiz score will be dropped. If
you have to miss a midterm for a compelling and well-documented reason, talk to
the instructor as soon as possible. If
you feel that these rules cause you an unbearable hardship, talk to the
instructor.

Your grade will be determined based on the curve to be established upon
the completion of the course. The
preliminary estimate is that the ``curve” will be linear, with the passing
grade of 2.0 corresponding to 63%, and 4.0 corresponding to 93%. Keep in mind
that this is only an approximation, and the final curve will be determined
based on the class overall performance.
