Your test average with the first exam weighted 25%, the second exam weighted 25%, the third exam weighted 25%, and the final exam weighted 25% will be computed. 2. The lowest of the three semester exam grades will be dropped and your test average will be computed with your two highest test scores weighted as 30% each, and your final exam score weighted as 40%. Your letter grade will be assigned based on the higher of 1. & 2. +/- Grades will be assigned. 3. If your average on the first three tests is at least 80% you may elect not to take the final exam. Your grade will be computed entirely on the basis your test average. __________________________________________________________ ________ Tests Study Guide Test #1 Date Thursday, 9/25/08 Time and Location 9:30-10:50 AM 150 Math 9:30-10:50 AM 150 Math Study Guide Test #2 9:30-10:50 AM 150 Math Study Guide Test #3 Study Guide Final Exam 418/518 CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 -3Lecture Date Reading Homework Week #1 8/25/08 8/29/08 Text #1: Week #2 9/1/08 9/5/08 Text#1: Week #3 9/8/08 9/12/08 Text #1: Chap. 2: 2.4, 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.4 Week #4 9/15/08 9/19/08 Text #1: Chap. 2: 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.4 Week #5 9/22/08 9/26/08 Text #1: Chap. 3: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3, 3.3.4, 3.3.5 Preview of Test #1 Text #1: Chap. 3: 3.4 Chap. 3: Exercises 3.2: # 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.4 Exercises 3.3: #3.3.1-3.3.10, 3.3.18 Text#1: Chap. 8: 8,1, 8.2 Chap. 8: Exercises 8.2: #8.2.1-8.2.6 Text#1: Chap. 8: 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6 Chap. 8: Exercises 8.3: #8.3.1, 8.3.2, 8.3.58.3.7 Exercises 8.4: #8.4.1, 8.4.2, 8.4.4 Exercises 8.5: #8.5.1, 8.5.2, 8.5.4 Exercises 8.6: 8.6.1, 8.6.2, 8.6.58.6.7 Text#1: Chap. 4: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 Chap. 4: Exercises 4.3: #4.3.1, 4.3.2 Exercises 4.4: #4.4.1-4.4.12 Exercises 4.5: #4.5.

Making up an Incomplete in mathematics: To make up an incomplete, you must... 1. Not re-register for the course — You are making up an incomplete in your original course. 2. Appear in person at the Mathematics Building, Room 244, ask for Rose Marciniak, and request that she initiate an incomplete petition for you. 3. Sign the petition. 4. a) If your original instructor determined that the work was to be completed with him/her, take the approved petition form to your original instructor for his/her signature. b) If your original instructor determined that the work was to be completed by your repeating the course, take the approved petition form to your new instructor for his/her signature. 5. Return the petition form to Rosemarie Marciniak in Room 244 Mathematics Building by the last day of drop/add (Friday, Sept. 5). Repeating Course: If this course is being taken to repeat a course previously taken at UB, it is important , for financial aid purposes, to be registered for 12 credit hours in addition to the course which is being repeated to be considered full time.
