HW Assignment for Math 124

Assignment Information

This page will give a complete listing of the reading and homework assignments that you are required to do. There is also a listing of the Exam schedule for the semester. The homework will be done with WeBWorK (alternate entrance is http://webwork.sdsu.edu/html/current_courses.html). This is an electronic homework system, which is graded automatically on the due date. This system has been extremely successful over many years. The grades of students taking the course  have been highly correlated with the scores on the WeBWorK homework assignments, so it is very important that you take this homework seriously (worth 9% of the lecture grade). On each problem of each assignment, you are allowed 10 tries to get the correct answer. Information on logging into WeBWorK is given by this hyperlink.

Week 15: The Final is Tues, Dec 20, 8:00-10:00. (An updated review sheet for Exam 3 (with solutions) is available to help with definite integrals.) There is a practice lab (with solutions) for the Lab Exam on Friday, Dec 9. Lecture material continues on definite integration. PDF lectures notes for Definite Integrals (4-Panel) are available. The problems on definite integrals in WeBWork called set ABioc2definte_int are due by Wed. Dec. 14 at 4 AM. There are related homework problems in the text for the sections on Definite Integrals. The solutions are available for Definite Integrals. More details are below about the scope of the final. PDF lectures notes for Qualitative Analysis for Differential Equations (4-Panel) are available. There are review problems called set ABioc4finrev are due by Tues. Dec. 20 at 4 AM. These problems work as a review for the final and count as extra credit toward your HW grade. There is also a set called ABioc2LabExtra are due by Tues. Dec. 20 at 4 AM, and these problems count as extra credit toward your lab score. (Ignore any parts of the questions that suggest a written lab report.)

Graded I-Clicker questions on Tuesday are from definite integrals.

Lab Help: In lab we showed what is expected for graphs (do and don'ts). We have a document on the step-by-step methods to produce a good graph in Excel 2010. Also, there is additional documentation on what is expected through the link to the Good Graph Document. For those interested in purchasing Maple, you can access the Maple adoption sheet through this hyperlink.

Tutoring

There is a Math Learning Center in Love Library room LL328, which has free tutoring. This is a good place for help on HW problems, but not the Computer Lab questions. The Department of Math has additional information, which can be found at the Math Office. They also have a list of Private Tutors .

Grading and Exam Information

This section will give you information about exams throughout the semester. The grading for this course is based on 70% from the lecture material and 30% from the lab. The lecture grade is 7% from lecture participation (I-Clicker), 9% from the WeBWorK homework assignments, and 84% from the HW Quizzes, three Exams, and a Final. The lab grade is from approximately 13 computer labs and the 3 Lab Quizzes, which each count twice a normal lab. (You will be able to drop one lab score.) The labs are due by Thursday at 9 PM, after which no credit is given.

Your Final occurs Tues, Dec 20, 8:00-10:00. Final questions will be similar to ones in the previous Exams, Quizzes, WeBWorK assignments (including the Extra one), and the review sheets for all the exams. Material covers the entire semester with heavier emphasis on the Calculus portions (Exam 2 and Exam 3). Note that you will only be able to use a Scientific Calculator. Due to cheating in the past, we are restricting the choice to the TI-30X series (TI-30Xa, TI-30XS, or TI-X IIS). In addition, you can have three 3x5 notecards (both sides). Cell phones must be turned off and not be visible!

Old Assignments

Week 1: You need to familiarize yourself with this website so that you will know where to get the appropriate information for doing well in this course. You should start the WeBWorK assignments immediately and let me know if I made any mistakes entering your name or RedID number for the login and password. See the WeBWorK login instructions for details.

Preparation: Previously, many students had difficulty with this course with the primary problem being insufficient Algebra skills. Now enrollment requires adequate scores on the ALEKS exam or at least a C in Math 141, which sets a minimum standard of Algebra. We are hoping that this significantly decreases the number of students doing poorly in this class. To help you practice using WeBWorK and to help you understand the Algebra skills asked in this class, there is an Algebra Review using WeBWorK. This problem set in WeBWorK is given by Set ABiocAlg and consists of 53 problems that will be due by Sat. Sep 10 at 4 AM. (There is also a problem for changing your password and adding email to this account.) 

Reading assignment: Read all sections in the introduction to be familiar with the course policies and what is expected of you. (You may want to read the CSU and SDSU College of Sciences policy statement also.)  PDF lectures notes for the Introduction (4-Panel) and Linear Models (4-Panel) are available.

Graded I-Clicker questions on Tuesday are from separable differential equations. Thursday the I-Clicker questions are from the integration by substitution and midpoint and trapezoid rules. The next Tuesday questions are from definite integrals.

Homework Quiz: The three quiz questions will be similar to the HW problems from the Differential Equations and Integration (#2, 5, 7, 10), Separation of Variables HW (#4, 5, 9, 10) and Integration by Substitution HW (#3, 4, 9, 11).
