Prerequisite. MATH 217 (Differential Equations)
Communication. (1) Course information will be available through Telesis, under Calendar, Files, and Gradebook. You can link to Telesis from WebSTAC, or use . (2) The best way to contact me is via e-mail. Whenever you e-mail me, even if you are replying to an e-mail from me, please sign with your first and last names. (3) I will be e-mailing the class as a whole on a regular basis with information and/or questions, so it is crucial that you pay attention to your “wustl” e-mail.
Homework. Homework will be assigned regularly over the material covered in class. These daily practice problems can be accessed through the Telesis Calendar. The Calendar will be most useful if you checkmark both of the boxes “Expand Topics” and “Include History.” Although the daily homework will not be turned in, you are expected to work all of the assigned problems. Answers to most of the odd-numbered problems are in the back of the textbook, and complete solutions to every third problem can be found in the Student Solutions Manual, available from the publisher. You will be required to turn in an assignment for grading approximately once per week, for a total of ten during the semester. For the logistics of the turn-in homework process, see the Homework Policies page of this syllabus.
Exams. Four in-semester exams will be given. Exam dates and locations are Wednesday, February 8 in Whitaker 100, Wednesday, February 29 in Whitaker 100, Thursday, March 29 in Louderman 458, and Tuesday, April 24 in Louderman 458. All exams will be given during our usual class time, 10:07 to 11:00 a.m. The final exam will be given on Monday, May 7 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at a location to be determined. Attendance at all of these exams is mandatory. For further information, see the Exam Policies page of this syllabus.
Special Wednesday Classes. Since the third and fourth exams will be given on Thursday and Tuesday respectively, we will have class on Wednesday those two weeks only. These classes will be held in Brown 118.
TA Office Hours. Your TA, Allison Doren, will hold office hours three times per week in the Calculus Help Room, Lopata 323. Specifically, these sessions will be Mondays from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., Wednesdays from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., and Thursdays from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. The sessions will begin the second week of classes, and they may change somewhat during exam weeks.
Attendance. Class attendance is required. An attendance record will be kept and may be a factor in determining your grade. (See “Potential Grade-Boosters” and “Potential Grade-Reducer” below.) Any time you are absent, please e-mail me with the reason.
Academic Integrity. Academic integrity is extremely important. See the University Policies website at wustl.edu/policies/undergraduate-academic-integrity.html for a full statement of the University's policy on academic integrity. See the Homework Policies and Exam Policies pages of this syllabus to find out my expectations and policies regarding collaboration. Take them seriously.
Grading System. Your semester grade will be based on the following.
| Prerequisite Survey/Quiz | 1% |
| Homework | 15% (1.5% each) |
| In-semester Exams | 64% (16% each) |
| Final Exam | 20% |
| 90% - 100% | A (or A+ or A-) |
| 80% - 89.99% | B (or B+ or B-) |
| 65% - 79.99% | C (or C+ or C-) |
| 50% - 64.99% | D |
| below 50% | F |
Potential Grade-Boosters.
(1) If it is to your advantage, your lowest in-semester exam score will be replaced by the average of that score with your final exam score. (In effect, the low exam will then count (0.5)(16%) = 8%, and the final exam will count 20% + (0.5)(16%) = 28%.)
(2) A perfect attendance record will raise your semester average one percentage point, say from 89.00% to 90.00%. An excellent (but not perfect) attendance record will raise your average to some lesser degree.
These are the only two ways to boost your grade. If they fail to raise it to the level you had hoped for, please do not contact me asking for special consideration or extra credit opportunities. In the interest of fairness to everyone, neither will be given. In other words, you may reasonably hope to boost your grade over a cut-off line, but do not expect the cut-off lines to shift.
Potential Grade-Reducer. If you are absent for half or more of the lectures during the semester, one percentage point will be deducted from your semester average.
Pass/Fail Policy. The majority of the students in this class are not eligible to take it on a pass/fail basis. (Please check with your academic advisor if you are unsure.) Students who do take the class pass/fail must achieve at least a C- in order to pass. Grades of D and F will be considered failing.
Accommodations for Disabilities. If you will need exam accommodations based on the impact of a disability, you must meet with me to make arrangements at least one week prior to the first exam (February 1 at the latest) and again at least one week prior to the final exam (April 30 at the latest). Last-minute arrangements will not be permitted.
Homework Policies
(1) Turn-in homework will be assigned most Fridays, and it will usually be due on the following Thursday. Here is the complete schedule.
|Assignment |Date Assigned |Date Due |
|1 |Friday, January 20 |Thursday, January 26 |
|2 |Friday, January 27 |Thursday, February 2 |
|3 |Friday, February 10 |Thursday, February 16 |
|4 |Friday, February 17 |Thursday, February 23 |
|5 |Friday, March 2 |Thursday, March 8 |
|6 |Friday, March 9 |Thursday, March 22 |
|7 |Friday, March 30 |Thursday, April 5 |
|8 |Friday, April 6 |Thursday, April 12 |
|9 |Friday, April 13 |Thursday, April 19 |
|10 |Friday, April 20 |Monday, April 30 |
(2) On the appropriate day, your turn-in homework assignment will be available as a Telesis file.
(3) Your homework must be done neatly, with steps in logical order. Pencil is preferred, with errors erased rather than scratched out. If you must use pen, errors should be whited out rather than scratched out. Do not include other homework or lecture notes on the page. Be sure to show all your work. An answer with no work or large gaps in the work will receive minimal credit.
(4) You may collaborate with other students when doing your homework. You may receive help from me, from another instructor, from your TA, from a tutor, from a friend, etc. However, once you understand how to do a problem, write it up on your own. Do not simply copy someone else's work. This is a violation of the University's Academic Integrity Policy, and it will not be tolerated. (For a first offense, a zero will be awarded for that assignment both to the person who copied the work and the person from whom it was copied. A repeat offense will be referred to the Engineering School’s Discipline Committee.) If you have any questions about this policy, please ask now, before a problem arises.
(5) Homework must be turned in to the “ESE 317-01 Hasting” homework bin outside Bryan 201. To be considered on time, it must be in by 2:00 p.m. on the due date. Twice during the semester, you may turn in an assignment for full credit up to 24 hours late (turned in by 2:00 p.m. the day after it is due), but it will not be accepted any later than that unless special arrangements are made. (Late homework should still be put into the homework bin, and you do not need to notify me.) Don't use up your “late allowances” too soon — it is wise to save them for when you are sick or otherwise in a serious bind.
(6) Do not forget to write your name at the top of your paper. (It is also a good idea to write “Engineering Math” and the homework number at the top, but this is not required.) Do not bring your homework to my office or put it on my desk in the classroom, and do not put it in the wrong homework bin. At best, any of these will cause your homework to be counted late. At worst, the homework may be lost, so that it will not count at all. Note that if you entrust your homework to a friend to turn in, you will still be held responsible if it is late, misdirected, or not submitted at all.
(7) The homework solutions will show up as a Telesis file about five days after the due date. Your paper will be returned in your Pendaflex folder on the third floor of Lopata about one week after the due date. (If you do not have such a folder, your paper will be placed in the “ESE 317” folder at the end of the alphabet.) Your homework score will be posted in the Telesis Gradebook as well as given on your paper.
(8) If you see on Telesis that you have not received credit for a homework assignment which you know you turned in, it is probably due to one of the difficulties listed in (6). It is your responsibility to contact me so we can attempt to track down your missing paper.
Exam Policies
(1) The exam schedule for this semester is as follows.
|Exam 1 |Wednesday, February 8 |10:07 to 11:00 a.m. |Whitaker 100 |
|Exam 2 |Wednesday, February 29 |10:07 to 11:00 a.m. |Whitaker 100 |
|Exam 3 |Thursday, March 29 |10:07 to 11:00 a.m. |Louderman 458 |
|Exam 4 |Tuesday, April 24 |10:07 to 11:00 a.m. |Louderman 458 |
|Final Exam |Monday, May 7 |10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. |to be determined |
(2) Bring the following to each exam.
• your Washington University photo ID card
• two (or more) pencils with erasers
• a single 3x5 card with any notes you like written on both sides
• a very simple calculator (just arithmetic; no trig, exponentials, etc.)
Do not bring any of these.
• a pen
• books or notes other than your 3x5 card
• a graphing calculator or even a scientific calculator such as the TI-30
• an iPod, cell phone, or anything else electronic
(3) Use the restroom before the exam, not during the exam. If a medical condition exists which might make this a hardship, please discuss it with me prior to the first exam.
(4) You will be required to sign an Academic Integrity statement on each exam.
(5) When I walk around the room to check 3x5 cards and calculators, please make sure both are in plain view.
(6) Please keep your scanner card hidden whenever you are not in the process of marking it, so you do not tempt anyone sitting near you to copy from it.
(7) If you are unable to attend an exam due to a legitimate and serious conflict such as a verified illness or a family emergency, you may request an excused absence, preferably in advance. A missed in-semester exam will not be made up. If the exam is excused, then a statistical procedure will be used at the end of the semester to estimate your missing score based on your performance on the other exams together with the class's mean and standard deviation on all exams. If the exam is unexcused, you will receive a score of zero. A missed final exam will be handled on an individual basis.
(8) Exam cheating in any form will not be tolerated. The minimum penalty for cheating on an exam is a score of zero for that exam. Other possible penalties include a semester grade of “F” and a referral of the case to the Engineering School’s Discipline Committee.
