Differentiation of elementary functions,

Diagnostic Test: There will be a multiple-choice diagnostic test held in the second lecture. This test is compulsory for all students registered in the course (i.e. students who do not take the test will receive a grade of F). Students who enter the course later will take the test on Webwork. Following the test students will receive a recommendation by e-mail as to which course might be most suitable for them to take. The recommendation is not binding on the student. Assessment: Assessment for the course is based on the following:

Exam: The final examination will be of 3 hours duration. There is no "additional work" option and the grade of incomplete will not be given. A supplemental exam will be available for eligible students. There will be a machinescored component in the final examination. The written component will consist of short answer questions and full solution questions. In a short answer question, the student writes his/her answer in a box provided. The question is marked either right or wrong depending on what is written in the box. There are no part marks. In a full solution question the student is expected to show all their work. Full marks will be given for a correct full solution. Part marks may be given for a partial solution. Assignments: There will be a number of assignments during the semester delivered using the Webwork system. It is the student's responsibility to check the Webwork site from time to time to check for assignments to be completed. The instructor reserves the right to set written assignments. Quizzes: There will be four quizzes during the semester given in the tutorial sessions. Two of the quizzes will be multiple-choice machine-scored and the other two will be short answer quizzes.

The assessment formula is 0.1 a + 0.2 q + 0.7 e where q and f are percentage marks for the quizzes and final examination respectively. The quantity a is the adjusted assignment mark equal to the minimum of the percentage raw assignment mark and the percentage exam mark + 25. Note that there is no 100% final exam option in this course. Exam Viewing: The instructor reserves the right to set a specific time or times for the purpose of exam viewing. If such times are set, they will be announced on the course webpage.
