Test 1 Corrections

Hello all,

Professor Lee here to talk test correction policy.

  • Test corrections will be due Monday, November 1, 2021.
  • Test corrections in total will be worth up to 50% of points not earned on the Exam 1.
  • If you answered a problem incorrectly on Exam 1, you are to do it over on a separate sheet of paper.
  • Corrections which are incorrect will receive no credit, despite work done. I will also not give credit for correct answers with no work. As a result, it would be in your best interest to check that your answers are correct, with all work completed

There is math tutoring all over City Tech. There will be a small bonus if you return the exam corrections with a verification slip from a program within City Tech. As a bonus, they can help you check your work also.

Professor Lee will be tutoring

Be sure to also check with Fahmeda Khanom. She’s here to help you also. Her times are
Hours:
Monday: 11am-12pm
Thursday: 3pm-4pm

Best,

Professor Lee

Test 1

  • 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.
  • I will be in the Zoom classroom to handle any questions. It is a very good idea to log in anyway in the event you have a question.

60% Written Solutions

  • 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.
  • IF I DO NOT RECEIVE WRITTEN WORK, YOU DIDN’T TAKE THE TEST.
  • 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 the 6:00pm will not be accepted. This is a hard cutoff the moment 5:59:00 becomes 6:00:00
  • 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.
