Course calendar  Check it regularly!  Gives information on lessons you should be watching, when homework is due, when the quizzes are and what lessons they cover, when exams are, etc.  Notice: You have homework for lessons 1 and 2 due Thursday evening  It is best to start your homework due Thursdays before the IMPACT session Thursday mornings  This Friday you have a quiz, but it is extra credit, so you don’t need to prepare for it

IMPACT Problem Set Grading  For every Thursday session, you will get an IMPACT problem set to work on in groups.  Every individual student will submit a write up of solutions for the IMPACT problems at the next IMPACT session  Each IMPACT problem set is worth 4 points (weighted the same as exam points)  Each problem set, one problem will be selected and graded for correctness (2 points)  The rest of the assignment will be graded for completion (2 points)  2 points if all problems are done, 1 point if all but a couple are done, 0 otherwise  This is course policy

Presentation Grading  Most IMPACT sessions, every group will present a problem from the previous week’s IMPACT problem set to the recitation instructor (not the whole class)  Your groups will receive their presentation assignment by Friday (posted on my personal webpage)  The problem will have several steps, and each student is expected to participate  Presentations are worth 3 IMPACT points (weighted the same as exam pts)  Students in the group must be prepared to present the problem from memory – no notes allowed  Students must be prepared to present the problem quickly and thoroughly (not every detail must be spelled out – if I want more details, I’ll ask for more)  If a student is not adequately prepared for the presentation (including taking too long to complete their part of the problem), the group will lose 1 point.  It is advised that groups communicate outside of class to agree upon a solution to their presentation problem.  All group members receive the same grade for the presentation, unless a group member is not there to present, in which case that group member receives a 0 (unless they are excused).

Showing Work and Explaining  On all work done in Purdue math classes, you are expected to show work. The next slide gives an example of a problem with a bad solution (in terms of work) and a good solution (in terms of work)  This goes for quizzes and IMPACT problem sets  On IMPACT problems, you are often asked to explain something. The following slide gives an example of a bad explanation and a good explanation.  Please be clear and explain thoroughly.  If you are having trouble with an “Explain” problem during an IMPACT session, please ask! These problems are some of the most important for mastery of the course content.
