Statement of Exam Rules:

To prevent cheating, I adopt the following exam rules.

1. Please bring all back packs and gadgets to the front of the room before the exam. Absolutely NO

electronic devices in pockets or on the seat. Do NOT wear watches of any kind.

2. NO bathroom breaks. So please use the bathroom before the exam.

3. NO hats or hoodies.

4. I may move people around randomly before the exam.

5. Please bring your ID

Suggested Problems: From Calculus: Early Transcendentals By Bernard Gillett, Lyle Cochran, and William Briggs
You don't have to do all of these problems, but it is better if you could solve most of them.

These are not homework and will not be graded. It is only to help you practice, but some homework problems may come from this list.

Homework will be assigned via e-mail and will be turned in in class. You will usually be given at least 5 days to complete your homework

 

  Monday, May 16.  Deadline to drop a course with a DR grade

 

 

REMINDER: There is never a penalty for asking. There is no shame in trying and
not succeeding; however, there is shame in not trying at all.

There will be a quiz or homework every week.  All homework assigned will be collected on time.

Please silent your beeper/cellular during the entire lecture. Cheating is forbidden by university law and will not be tolerated.

Please NO MAKE UP EXAM.


There are many student
s who come to the Advising Center because they thought they were in and attended classes for which they were NOT registered or conversely stopped attending courses for which they were registered but thought they had successful dropped.   In the first case they lose the credits for work completed; in the second case they received F0s and are held fee liable for courses they thought no longer concerned them.  Both of these misfortunes could be avoided if student would merely review and print their class schedules to make certain the estimation of their current enrollment matches reality.

 Please   review and print your class schedule this week and thereafter if any changes are made to it (e.g. add/ drop/ swap, etc.).

                                                FREE MATHEMATICS TUTORING SERVICES

The mathematic department has a (free) tutoring program in GL 263 and GL 266, please contact the Math/Stat department for the schedule. No appointment is needed for the tutoring program.

 

PSIn an effort to help you succeed in your academic courses, FIU utilizes an Early Alert system. Instructors are now able to notify students' academic advisors if there are concerns about class performance. If an alert is submitted, your academic advisor will send you a message via your Student Dashboard (accessed via your MYFIU page) to discuss ways to improve your performance. Please respond to any communication you receive from your academic advisor about an early alert. Our goal with this program is to help you to be successful by identifying any issues as early on as possible and working to address them
 

 

Panther Book Pack Information 

Every student is automatically enrolled for the Panther Book Pack (http://bookpack.fiu.edu/) at the time that you register for classes. The program will cover your textbooks for each course at a charge of $20 per credit hour.  We suggest that you compare this to the cost of all your required course materials. If this total is higher than the Panther Book Pack Cost, you can opt out at any point from the day you receive your Panther Book Pack email until three days after the add/ drop date on the Academic Calendar for that term. For the Spring 2022 this day is March 22.

 All students must opt out if they do not wish to participate. 

 

You may opt-out via MyFIU by clicking on the Panther Book Pack tile and then clicking the opt-out / opt-in toggle for the session you would like to change your participation status for. If you have any further questions, please check out the link above.


 

Covid related policies:

As cases and hospitalizations due to the Omicron variant continue to increase in our community, we must unite and take necessary steps to prevent further spread.

. Daily and before arriving to campus, complete the P3 app. Please check your FIU email account and your Canvas course at least once a day. Email and Canvas are the best ways for the university, and your professors, to contact you.

If you do not feel well, have tested positive for COVID, or have been in contact with a person with COVID while not yet being fully vaccinated, please do not come to class, immediately complete the P3 app to notify the COVID Response Team or call them at 305-348-1919, and contact me by email as soon as you can. To excuse absences for P3 failure/COVID, please contact the COVID Response Team at 305-348-1919.

A vaccinated, asymptomatic individual exposed to a COVID positive person does not need to quarantine. They need to continue to wear a mask. It is recommended to test 3-5 days post known exposure. However, if at any time they become symptomatic, they need to test immediately. If the test returns positive, they need to follow the COVID positive protocol at that time.

Please take every precaution to keep yourself and others healthy. Per CDC guidelines, you are encouraged to get vaccinated and strongly advised to wear a mask indoors and in public including all FIU facilities.

Missing excessive days may lead to failing a class.
