INSTRUCTOR: Andy Long. Office: MEP 443; phone: 572-5794; email: longa@nku.edu
MEETING TIME/PLACE: MW, 6:15PM - 7:30PM / MEP 312
EXPECTED BACKGROUND: C- or better in the calc II series (MAT 228 or MAT 229).
TEXT: Mathematical Structures for Computer Science, 6th Ed., J. L. Gersting.
GRADING: There will be two exams, two projects, and a comprehensive final. Homework will be assigned regularly and handed in for grading. Your course grade will be determined as follows:
|
The tests will be given in class, closed book. Make-up exams will not be given
except in extreme circumstances. I use the standard grading scale, with a small
buffer zone for the assignment of plus/minus grades:
I do curve, as necessary and as I see fit. |
HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned regularly. You should expect to do a lot of homework in order to do well in the course. Each homework assignment will be handed in, generally two class periods after it is assigned, so that a few homework problems (chosen at random) may be graded. Hence, exercises assigned on a Monday would generally be due a week later on the next Monday (barring holidays, etc.)
ATTENDANCE: The student is responsible for all material assigned or discussed in class. Attendance will be taken, and may be used along with class effort (as measured by participation - asking questions, answering other students' questions, group work, etc.) to resolve borderline grades.
WITHDRAWAL: The last day to withdraw from any class (with a grade of W) is October 31, 2011. After that day it is not usually permitted.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: are on-line (see the course homepage)
