Test 1 Information

A reminder.

  • The first test is at 4:00pm to 5:45pm on Thursday 10/7/2021. The WeBWorK file closes officially at 5:45, but you will have until 6pm to submit written solutions to me.
  • All work is your own. No collaboration.
    • Only methods that have been discussed in class or are in your textbook will be allowed to be used.
      • All other methods will be ignored.
      • Thus, the quadratic formula is currently banned.
  • I hope you’ve been keeping up to date on WeBWorK.
  • Be sure to practice creating PDF files of all your work. I will not accept work in improper format.
  • Submit to this DROPBOX REQUEST LINK.
    • Any submission after 6:00pm will not be accepted.
  • Online programs like MathWay, Photomath, etc. are banned. (Automatic 0 + Faculty Action Report on your Academic Record if I recognize usage of the program).

10% WeBWorK submission.

  • Go on Homework Sets -> Test 1 .
  • Be sure to write all solutions and SHOW ALL WORK on separate sheets of paper.
  • *DO NOT SUBMIT unless you’ve answered ALL QUESTIONS!*
  • WeBWorK questions will instantly cut off at 5:45pm on the 7th.

Oral Defense (Up to 30% of your test score)

  • Until 10/18 (right before class, though I might be willing to interview someone after)
  • Sign up here
    • Timeslots in blue and green represent other Zoom locations I will be in.
  • No interview will be granted without a written solutions submitted.
  • Be prepared to discuss three questions from the test. The quality of your answers will determine the remaining portion of your grade.
  • If you do not interview, you will lose the points you could have had.
    • e.g. If you scored 90% average on the written portion of the test, then you will receive only 63% as a grade without the interview since the WeBWorK and the Written Work for the test count as 70% of the overall test.
