ALEKS: You
have probably already been contacted about ALEKS. You must complete the assessment component
and, if necessary, the learning component of ALEKS before
the first exam (Sept 23) to receive credit. Otherwise you will receive a 0 for
the 10% of your total grade based on ALEKS. If you have not been contacted
about ALEKS please contact Dr. Blake Thornton, blake@math.wustl.edu
WebWork: There will be 11 WebWork assignments (one per week
except the weeks of midterm exams and Thanksgiving.) The assignments will be
available at 9AM on Monday of the week, all answers must be submitted before
8PM on Thursday of that week, and the solutions will be available on Saturday
morning. The first assignment will be available Monday. August 31.
Quizzes: Most weeks there will be a short quiz at the
beginning of the discussion section. The first quiz will be Thursday, September
17.
Grades: Of 100 points, ALEKS
contributes 10, The WebWork maximum is 15 points based on 9 of 11 assignments;
we drop the two lowest but with the constraint that they can’t be both of the
last two; The quizzes are worth 10 points, again we drop the two lowest but
with the same constraint. The remaining 65 points will be based on the three
midterms and the final, all weighted equally.
The
scale for converting numerical grades to letter grades will be set at the end
of the semester. However everyone with a score of 90 or above will receive an
A- or better, 80 or above a B- or better and 65 or above a C- or better.
