Final Exam   Time/Place:  06/11/2009 Th 3:00p - 5:59p SOLIS 107 Math 20F MATLAB Component Math 20F has a computational component based on MATLAB. Students will be assigned exercises using MATLAB in the context of linear algebra and will be given a MATLAB exam during the 8th and 9th weeks of the quarter. These are an integral part of the course and will be counted as part of the final grade. The Tuesday computer lab sessions will meet the second week on Tuesday April 7 in APM B325. (Note that the lab sessions will not meet in CLICS or APM B349.) The computer labs CLICS and APM B349 will not be staffed. Starting the 2nd week, the computer lab in APM B325 will be staffed by a MATLAB tutor and/or TA for a substantial number of hours during the week. A schedule will be posted on the door and at http://www.math.ucsd.edu/resources/tutoring/. CLICS and APM B349 will not be staffed. Students must obtain a course computer account to use the computers in APM B325. This can be done at the Tuesday lab sessions during the 2nd week (April 7), or by contacting your TA. Students may use other computers and may use their own computer if they have MATLAB installed; however, a computer account for APM B325 will be required for the exam. Course Policies E-mail: Please begin the Subject of all e-mail messages you send to your instructor with "Math 20F." Calculators: Calculators are not needed for this course. No calculators are allowed for quizzes or exams. Midterm Exams: There will be 2 midterm exams given during the usual lecture time and place. See the course calendar for the dates of the midterm exams. There will be no makeup exams. You may bring to the exam one double-sided sheet (8 in x 11 in) of notes handwritten by yourself. Final Exam: The final examination will be held at: 06/11/2009 Th 3:00p - 5:59p SOLIS 107 It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not have a scheduling conflict with regard to the final examination. You should not enroll in this class if you cannot sit for the final examination at its scheduled time. You may bring to the exam one double-sided sheet (8 in x 11 in) of notes handwritten by yourself. MATLAB Exam: The MATLAB exam will be administered in APM B325 during the scheduled lab session on the following days, depending on the first letter of your last name: A - L: Tuesday, Jun 2 M - Z: Tuesday, May 26 Homework: There are two types of homework problems: 1. Non-MATLAB problems from the textbook by D. Lay (see General Information). These problems will be suggested during lecture, and should be completed by the discussion section in the following week. This type of homework will not be collected. Your proficiency in doing such problems shall be measured by your performance on the quizzes (see below). 2. MATLAB problems. These assignments will be collected during the Thursday discussion sections. The due date for each assignment is posted on the course calendar. Quizzes: There will be a total of 5 quizzes given. See the course calendar for the dates of the quizzes. Each quiz will consist of two problems: (i) one which is identical with a homework problem from D. Lay suggested during the previous week, and (ii) one very similar to one such homework problem. You will be allowed 10 - 20 minutes to complete each quiz. Your cumulative quiz grade will be based on the best 4 of your quiz scores. No notes or books will be allowed during the quizzes. There will be no makeup quizzes. Academic Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty is considered a serious offense at UCSD. Students caught cheating will face an administrative sanction which may include suspension or expulsion from the university. Grading: Your course grade will be determined by your cumulative average at the end of the term, and your relative standing in the class. For example, if your cumulative average is 80%, but you are the best student in the class, there is a good chance that you would get at least an A-. On the other hand, rest assured that if you pass the Final Exam and your cumulative average is 60% or above, you will receive at least a D no matter what your standing in the class is. Your cumulative average will be the best of the following two weighted averages: 10% Quizzes, 10% MATLAB, 20% Midterm I, 20% Midterm II, 40% Final Exam. 10% Quizzes, 10% MATLAB, 20% Best Midterm, 60% Final Exam. In addition, You must pass the final examination in order to pass the course. Note: Since there are no makeup exams, if you miss an exam for any reason then your course grade will be computed with the final exam counting 60% of your weighted average. Lecture: Attending the lecture is a fundamental part of the course; you are responsible for material presented in the lecture whether or not it is discussed in the textbook. You should expect questions on the exams that will test your understanding of concepts discussed in the lecture. Please make sure your cell phone is turned off and put away during lecture. Reading: Reading the sections of the textbook corresponding to the assigned homework exercises is considered part of the homework assignment; you are responsible for material in the assigned reading whether or not it is discussed in the lecture.
