Your instructor may change the dates for each assignment and/or exam, modify the exercise list, and/or add assignments. It is your responsibility to keep track of the course details and schedule for your section.

Reading:  You are expected to do the reading from the appropriate sections BEFORE coming to the class meeting in which the topic is scheduled.

Exercises:   You are expected to work the assigned exercises after the corresponding material is presented in class, and BEFORE the next class meeting (lecture and recitation).

Projects and Other Assignments:  This course may include a group project. Your instructor will decide on the specific requirements for your project report. There may also be other graded assignments, at the discretion of your instructor.

 

Prerequisite Policy:  Students who take Math 106 must satisfy the requirements of the Math Placement Policy. To comply with this policy you must satisfy ONE of the following:

i) You have passed UNL's Math 102 or 103 (or the equivalent course at UNO or UNK) with a grade of C, P or better.

ii) You have passed the prerequisite courses in high school or at another college and have a qualifying score on the Math Placement Exam      after March, 2001.  For times and locations see the math department office (Avery 203), or the department web site                                            http://www.math.unl.edu.

 

GATEWAY EXAM:  This exam consists of 10 questions in which you are asked to carry out calculations without using calculators, notes, or tables. You must get at least 8 questions completely right to pass.  If you do not pass the Gateway Exam when it is first administered during recitation, you must go to the Arts and Sciences College Testing Center (Burnett 127), MathLab (Avery 18) or other authorized testing center for a retake (picture ID required). The final deadline for passing the Gateway is July 7, 2005.

 

Math Resource Center:  Students in Math 106 are encouraged to use the Mathematics Resource Center (MRC) in Avery 13 if they have questions related to this course, or as a place to meet and discuss group projects.  Check the Dept. website for.

 

Special Dates:

June 10, 2005 (Friday) is the last day to withdraw from this course and not have it appear on your transcript.
