~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


MyMathLab Course Information: We will be utilizing MyMathLab (MML) for homework through a joint code for the Thomas Calculus text and the Lay Linear Algebra text. In order to register, you will need our course id posted on T-Square to enroll into the course on MML for your section. Here is the course ID information too:

MyMathLab Course ID: ( NOTE: Each section has its own course ID #.)

Section F1: pan74985

Section F2: pan35961

Section F3: pan20685

Section F4: pan90873

 

Important notes on MML:

·       If you already have an account on MyMathLab using this combined textbook within the past 18 months, then you do not need to purchase a new code. Login to your account on MyMathLab, select the option to add a new course, and enter our course ID.

·       If you already have a MyMathLab account that used either the Thomas or the Lay texbook in the past 18 months, but you were unable to add our course using the previous step, please send an email to Lyndsee.Hewston@Pearson.com and include the following information:

1.     Your First and Last Name

2.     The email address used to register for MML

3.     Your Login ID for MML

4.     Our course ID (listed above)

You should receive a reply within 36 business hours from the Pearson support team regarding your account status. In the meantime, you can access our course using the “temporary access” option when registering. Please do not pay for a new code until you receive a reply from Pearson.

·       If you do not have a MyMathLab account using the Thomas or Lay textbooks, or if your account is over 18 months old, you will need to purchase a new code for our course. Please refer to the registration document, located in the “Resources” section on t-square, to create your new account.

When signing up for MyMathLab, it will be immensely helpful to me (for grading purposes) if you will set your STUDENT ID to your USERID for the GT system (i.e., your T-square USERID, as in “gburdell3”, etc).

MyMathLab comes with an entire electronic version of the textbook; it is your choice if you would also like to own the textbook in print. You may purchase a MyMathLab code either from the bookstore or on-line while registering at http://www.mymathlab.com. If you prefer to own a hardcopy of the text, the bookstore offers packages of MyMathLab combined with a loose-leaf or hardcover version of the Thomas textbook that is less expensive than purchasing the text and code separately.

PLEASE NOTE: GEORGIA TECH HAS A SPECIAL CODE PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES BOTH TEXTBOOKS.

THIS CODE CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED THROUGH THE CAMPUS BOOKSTORES OR DIRECTLY FROM PEARSON.

CODES PURCHASED BY OTHER VENDORS WILL NOT WORK!

Possible ISBNs for this text are: 1323131760, 1323132112, 132313204X, 1323132104, or 1323132120.

Homework: Thre are two components of Homework: 1) On-line Homework through MyMathLab;
2) Regular homework will be assigned once a week on course webpage (This page) and they will not be collected.
However, it is strongly recommended to work out every problem in the assignments
before each quiz, since quiz problems are very similar to homework problems.
Quizes & Tests
There will be 11(?) quizes based on homework assignments in recitation class, two in-class midterms and one final exam
Academic Honesty
All students are expected to comply with the Georgia Tech Honor Code (the honor code can be found at http://www.policylibrary.gatech.edu/student-affairs/code-conduct). Any evidence of cheating or other violations of the Georgia Tech Honor Code will be submitted directly to the Dean of Students. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
  • Using an unapproved calculator, books, or any form of notes on tests.

  • Copying directly from any source, including friends, classmates, tutors, internet sources (including Wolfram Alpha), or a solutions manual.

  • Allowing another person to copy your work.

  • Taking a test or quiz in someone else's name, or having someone else take a test or quiz in your name.

  • Asking for a regrade of a paper that has been altered from its original form.

Grading: Grades will be based on the exams and quizes, and on-line homework. Your best seven quizes count for 20%;  
on-line homework counts for 10%, in-class midterms count for 40% (20% each); the final exam counts for 30%.
Curves: Curves will be determined by the median of each recitation section after final exam according to the end-of-semester grade distribution.
