Topics, Textbook and Homework

Please see the Math125 Materials website for information about the syllabus, textbook and homework. You will submit your assignments online through webassign. The assignments will show up eight days before they are due.

Grading

There will be two midterms, one final exam, homework assignments, quizzes and worksheets. The midterms are 25% each, the final is 30%. The worksheets are 5%, homework assignments are 10% and quizzes are 5% of your total grade. I do not grant extensions on homework assignments. There are no make ups for worksheets or quizzes. I will drop your lowest worksheet and quiz grade. You can follow your quiz, worksheet and exam grades from https://catalyst.uw.edu.

Week at a glance

Lectures are on MWF following the syllabus on the materials website. You can find the lectures on catalyst.

Tuesday sections are mainly for homework questions. The homework assignments are due on Tuesdays by 11PM. So when you go to your Tuesday section, you should have most of your assignment already complete. Use this time with your TA and classmates to go over the more difficult and challenging problems. If you are already done with that week’s assignment, you can work on the next one on Monday’s lecture.

Thursday quiz sections are for worksheets and quizzes. I will announce the quiz topic in lecture on Wednesdays if you remind me.
