Assessment: This course has several different forms of assessment:

	Daily Exercises	engaging in our on-going work
	Homework	practicing the skills we are trying to develop
	Exams	putting together the concepts we have been learning
	Projects	applying and communicating the concepts we have been learning

Daily Exercises (Webwork): 10% Before each day's class you will be expected to do some "warm up" problems online.

Homework: 15% Homework will be assigned weekly, and selected problems will be graded. Homework will be due, scanned into Moodle, by 9am on Tuesday mornings.

Exams: 20% each There will be one midterm exam and a comprehensive final exam. The midterm will be on or around Wednesday of Week 5; it is likely to include an oral conversation with me that will be scheduled individually over a period of 2 or 3 days (Tues, Wed and maybe Thurs of Week 5) and a written component given during our usual class time on Wed of Week 5. All travel arrangements for the end of the term should be made for AFTER the time scheduled by the Registrar for our final exam: Monday, March 13, 6:30-9pm.

Projects: 25% There will be several projects throughout the quarter. These will be opportunities to think about more challenging problems, and to carefully articulate your thinking about those problems. While the groundwork for the projects may often be collaborative, the write ups will be done individually.

Differentiation Mastery: 10% During the last two weeks of the term, you will have an opportunity (actually, many) to display mastery of the computational aspects of our work on derivatives.

As a student at Kalamazoo College, you have pledged to uphold the Honor Code. This includes reporting to me any dishonorable behavior you know about involving this class, as well as not engaging in such behavior yourself. Any assignment found to have been submitted in violation of the honor code will receive an automatic F.

Workflow: The main place to look for all our assignments and deadlines is the Class Webpage!!! (people.kzoo.edu/~intermon/mat112wi22.htm) This is the same link as above. Generally, the assignments for each week will be posted by Saturday morning. Before most classes, you will be expected to read in the textbook and watch a short video or two and do some warm up exercises in WebWork. The Webwork assignments must be done between the time class ends on one day until the time the next class begins. On Tuesdays, the turn in homework will be due in Moodle by 9am, based on the M,W,F content from the previous week.

Obviously, some alterations to this schedule are to be expected, particularly around the time of our midterm exam. These will be clearly noted on our class webpage.

Grace Days: Because sometimes life intrudes on managing the daily work of a course, each student is endowed with TWO grace days for the term to be used on TURN IN HOMEWORK OR PROJECTS. Once the deadline for an assignment has passed, if the assignment is submitted (which should be uploaded into a chat to me) within the next 24 hours, one grace day will be considered used. If the assignment is submitted after 24 hours, but by 48 hours of the deadline, two grace days will be considered used. There is no need to pre-arrange this, or to provide an excuse. Simply upload the work via a Teams chat to me that would have been submitted in Moodle. Note that these days may only be applied to turn in homework or projects, and when they are used, no late work will be accepted.

Covid Considerations: As we all know, even though we hope for a reasonably normal quarter, the plans we make for this term may need to be modified.

•       If we must transition as a class to meeting in Teams, we will, and I will update you on what accommodations we'll make.
•       If you must not be in class physically because of a covid screening or test, you must not come. Please ask a classmate to set up a laptop in class and join in by Teams.
•      There is NO recording of class meetings - by anyone at any time. People should feel free to speak without worrying that the questions they ask will remain in the ether.
•       Note that assignments will be collected electronically (mostly in Moodle). Thus, even if you cannot attend class physically, you can still meet the deadline.
•       While office hours are in primarily in person, you can attend virtually. During office hours, students may send a chat request to me to join an office hour via a Teams call. I will send an invitation to join a call.
