Notes and Policies:
1. Contact Info: The easiest way to reach me is via email as I attempt to answer each
email received within 24 hours. Office hours are for your benefit and can be viewed
as a free tutor service so I highly encourage you to stop by if you would like assistance
with this course.

2. Exams: For information regarding the times, dates, and locations of the midterms
and final exam, please consult the course syllabus found on Angel (www.angel.psu.edu)
and my website (www.math.psu.edu/koslicki), as well as the schedule on the end of
this syllabus.
3. Calculators will not be allowed on the exams or quizzes.
4. Homework will be posted on Angel and occasionally announced in class. The due
dates are listed in the course schedule. The highest 10 assignments out of 14 total
will count towards your final grade. It is highly encouraged to work through these
homework problems and if there is any difficulty with them, do not hesitate to come
by my office hours or ask in class. In addition, the homework problems I suggest
should be considered a minimum and usually more problems are required to facilitate
comprehension. An individual homework assignment is worth 3 points, 1 point for
a minimally attempted assignment, 2 points for most problems attempted, 3 points
for all problems attempted.
No late homework will be accepted for any reason.
Just to be clear, not for any reason at all.
5. Angel Quizzes are online multiple-choice quizzes that can be taken at your discretion.
These quizzes will give you more familiarity with the style of the exam problems but
will not count towards your grade.
6. In Class Quizzes will be given on the dates listed in the course schedule. These
will be written quizzes to give you more familiarity with the written portion of the
exams. The will be 10 quizzes, with the lowest 3 quizzes dropped. Each is worth
10 points per quiz. Being that I drop 3 quizzes, no late quizzes will be given
for any reason whatsoever. I also reserve the right to conduct a pop-quiz if I see
attendance dwindling.
7. Classroom attendance will not be monitored but to quote from the Office of the Registrar: “Students are responsible for attending classes for which they are registered
and are held responsible for all work covered in the course ... A student whose irregular attendance causes him or her, in judgment of the instructor, to become deficient
scholastically, may run the risk of receiving a failing grade or receiving a lower grade
than the student might have secured had the student been in regular attendance.”
8. Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner. Based on the University’s Faculty Senate Policy 49-20, a range of
academic sanctions may be taken against a student who engages in academic dishonesty. See the Eberly College of Science Academic Integrity homepage for procedures.
