Homework: 15% of class gradeThere will be NO late homework accepted. Do not ask me to open the homework back up, instead you must plan ahead when to get your homework done around your work, and other activies in your personal schedule.
ALL homework will be done through My Math Lab, so you MUST purchase an account. Each homework assignment will be worth 10 pts, and your homework percent will then be weighted to count as 15% of your total class grade. Daily homework is designed to give you a MINIMUM amount of practice on the types of problems you are expected to master in this course. The assignments will be kept short to allow you to spend more time on the topics you are individually having more difficulty with. Your level of success in this course will be dependent on your willingness to take the initiative to study more than just the minimum homework assigned (and to get all homework done on time)! Homework questions will only be addressed the next day in class from the previous day’s homework; you MUST use my office hours if you have questions from homework other than the previous night’s.
Homework questions can be reworked until you get the answer correct (before the due date of the homework), so it is very possible to get 100% on every homework assignment!All homework is to be completed on the computer. The assignments are located under the "DO HOMEWORK" button. You should have a notebook in which you perform the work for each problem. Each assigned homework section must be completed before accessing any quizzes. You should be working on homework every day as indicated by the calendar, however the latest the homework is accepted without penalty is 11:59 pm on the day before a chapter quiz or test. You are encouraged to work ahead. If you should fall behind you will be allowed to continue to work on the homework through December 4th, but any assignments completed after the assigned due date are considered late and 15% will be deducted from the score.
To get to the homework on MyMathLab, you need to click on the "Do Homework" button on the left side. If you rely on the MyMathLab homepage, sometimes the assignments and quizzes do not show up!
*Be aware- You should expect to spend at least two hours outside class every day (including weekends) for every hour spent in class for a college level course – especially math courses, so plan appropriately!
