MGF1106 01-08 Math for Liberal Arts Course website: www.math.fsu.edu/~wooland Lecturer: Jim Wooland Lectures: TR 9:30 – 10:45 a.m., HWC2100 Labs: Fridays in104 or HTL 105 (time/room vary by section). Your lab class will not meet this week. Your first lab, and first quiz, will be on Friday, Jan 19.

Course website All study materials for this course, including the textbook, can be accessed from our course website: www.math.fsu.edu/~wooland   There is also a link to the course website on the Canvas page for this course.

Your syllabus Your syllabus is on the web. You can access it from the “Syllabus and Schedule…” link on our course website: www.math.fsu.edu/~wooland  

Your syllabus You must read your syllabus. Your syllabus contains all the operating rules for this course, including such things as test dates, procedures for make-ups and excused absences, the way your grade is determined, and how to access your posted scores.  

Eligibility for MGF1106 Virtually everybody is eligible for MGF1106. Rare exceptions Either of these two cases make you ineligible: Your math SAT is less than 470 AND your math ACT is less than 21 AND you have not passed Intermediate Algebra (MAT1033). You have already passed THIS COURSE with a C- or better. Note that having taken other math courses, including higher level math courses, does not affect your eligibility for this class.

Eligibility – International Baccalaureate If you were an International Baccalaureate (IB) student in high school, your college transcript might already include credit for this course. In that case, you should not take this course. If you were an IB student and you aren’t sure if you already have credit for MGF1106, e-mail me and I will check.

iClicker We will use i>Clicker for class participation. i>Clicker points will add extra credit to your quiz average. To participate, you must purchase the clicker and register it through the i>Clicker registration tool on Canvas. There are at least two different models of i>Clicker available. It doesn’t matter which model you use, as long as the manufacturer is i>Clicker.

i>Clicker When answering class participation questions, you should always assume that getting the correct answer is important (even though some questions may be graded in a way that gives full credit for any answer).   A wrong answer is always better than no answer, so pay attention to the timer, and at least make a guess before time runs out on a question. Yes, I get it. No, I don’t get it. I don’t have a clicker; I am clicking the air with my thumb.

EMPLID Your EMPLID is the nine-digit identifier that the University employs instead of using your SSN. In this course, you need to know your EMPLID to: Log into tests, quizzes and homework; Check your posted scores online; Register for your final exam day/time/place.

Your grade Your grade is determined by Average of three unit tests (60%) Quiz average (10%) Homework average (5%) Comprehensive final exam (25%) The grade scale is in your syllabus.

Homework Your first homework assignment will be posted later this week, after drop/add ends. At that time, you will receive an e-mail explaining how to access homework. All homework is done via the Internet, using our eGrade web server. You will have roughly one assignment per week, and you will have several days or more to complete each assignment. You get three attempts at each homework assignment. The highest of the three scores is the one that counts in your homework average.

Homework Each homework assignment is intended to prepare you for the upcoming quiz or test in lab. For that reason, it is a bad idea to wait until after your quiz or test before attempting the homework (even though you will have several days to complete an assignment). It is a good idea to ask questions about homework exercises that you don’t understand. You are always welcome to print problems from your homework and bring them to lecture class for explanation. Give printed problems to me before class starts. I will usually have time to work at least a couple of homework exercises at the beginning of each lecture class.

Unit Tests There will be three 50-minute unit tests, and a final exam. Test 1: Friday, February 9, in lab. Test 2: Friday, March 23, in lab. Test 3: Friday, April 20, in lab. Although these are called “unit tests,” all tests may be cumulative/comprehensive. There are no automatic make-ups or second offerings for missed tests. If you miss a test, and have a valid, documented excuse, then your final exam score may replace the score for the missed test. Documentation for medical excuses must state that you are too sick for school or work. Merely visiting a clinic instead of taking a test is not sufficient.

Quizzes Each Friday in lab (beginning January 19) you will have a quiz, except on Fridays when you have a test. The policy for missed quizzes is different from the policy for missed tests. There are no make-ups for missed quizzes. If you have a documented, justifiable excused absence from a quiz, then the zero for the missed quiz will not count in your quiz average. Read your syllabus for more details. Note: Your lab class will not meet on Friday, March 9.

Final Exam You will take your final exam some time during Final Exams Week: April 30 – March 3. The particular day/time/location for your comprehensive final exam will be determined (by you, essentially) in late March or early April. At that time, online final exam registration for Basic Math courses will open, and you will go online to select the day/time/place for your exam. The exam registration process will be discussed in detail at the appropriate time.
