2. INTRODUCTION
2a. COURSE DESCRIPTION, CONTENT
MAC2312 is the 2nd
semester in a three semester calculus sequence. Intended topics will include
Techniques of Integration (Integration by parts, trigonometric function, trigonometric
substitution and partial fractions); Improper Integrals; Infinite Sequences and Series; Parametric
Equations; Polar Coordinates and Polar Representation of Plane Curves and Applications of
Definite Integrals including Volumes of Solids and Solids of Revolution.
A minimum grade of C (not C –) in MAC 2312 satisfies four credits of the University General
Education Mathematics requirement.
2b. PREREQUISITES
MAC2312 assumes that you have strong PreCalculus (both algebra and trigonometry) and
Calculus I skills necessary to succeed in calculus II. Students should be able to do arithmetic
without a calculator. A brief list of review materials is provided at the end of this syllabus.
A grade of C in UF MAC2311 meets the minimum requirement for the course. Students must
review the prerequisite material to gain a strong knowledge in order to succeed in calculus II. A
Diagnostic quiz in WebAssign is due on Thursday, September 4.
We recommend students who are having difficulty with the review material/Diagnostic quiz to
consider first taking UF MAC2311 (if you have not already done so). Students may also use the
ALEKS Remedial Program to strengthen pre-calculus skills (algebra and trigonometry). For
more complete information on ALEKS, check the page isis.ufl.edu/aleksinfo.html. You may
switch courses on ISIS, isis.ufl.edu, during the drop-add period.
2c. REQUIRED MATERIALS
WEBASSIGN (WA). Online homework and quizzes from WebAssign will count toward your
grade. The textbook may be accessed as an ebook by purchasing the required WebAssign access
code from the UF bookstore, or other local bookstores or directly online at
www.webassign.net/ufl/login.html . You have a two week grace period to use WebAssign.
Hard copies of the book and the solutions manual are not required but are available for in-library
use at the reserve desk of UF Marston Library. You can certainly purchase used text book
online, if you prefer, then you will only need the access code for just the homework. Note: We
do not recommend purchasing used bundle (book + WA access code) online since the access
code may not function correctly.
5
Register and get access to WA now to start working on the assignments and accessing the e-
book. If you decide to stay in the class after the drop/add, you will need to purchase the access
code in order to gain continued access to WebAssign, Please check the ‘WebAssign Info’ in the
Resource in Sakai for details.
Here is a brief summary on WA:
To purchase (or use the trial period) WebAssign: https://login.ufl.edu
https://www.webassign.net/ufl/login.html
To access WA: (just use the one link below for all WA purpose)
First time: https://www.webassign.net/ufl/login.html
Subsequent access to WA: https://login.ufl.edu
You do not need a class key, just login with your Gator Link username and password.
Need Help?
WA customer service: www.webassign.net/user_support/student or 800.955.8275
Payment issues, contact PayPal at paypal.com or 1.402.935.2050
Computer access and requirements: All online assignments should be taken on a computer,
not cell phone or tablet, since there may be compatibility issues with WA. Be sure you are using
a browser that works with WA. Please check for WA browser recommendations:
http://www.webassign.net/manual/student_guide/c_a_system_requirements.htm
Any WA questions should be directed to the WA helpdesk.
You are responsible for having access to a working computer and have your work
completed on time. Plan your schedule and complete your work early. If you wait till last
minutes and run into any difficulties to submit your work, you are out of luck. You will neither
receive credit nor extension for work not successfully submitted.
H-ITT CLICKER: We use the H-ITT clicker to record class participation. Click on the
‘H-ITT’ link in RESOURCE in Sakaifor detailed information. Students are responsible for
having a working clicker ready by Wednesday September 3.
CALCULATORS (NOT required) : A graphing calculator and/or the Wolfram Alpha are useful
as a study and learning tool when used appropriately, but they are not essential. Calculus is a
collection of ideas and process that are not mastered through calculator skills. No calculators are
allowed on quizzes and exams.
2d. E-LEARNING (SAKAI)
E-learning (Sakai), a UF course management system, is accessed through http://lss.at.ufl.edu.
Use your Gatorlink name and password to login. All course information including your grade,
6
lecture note outlines, syllabus, exam information, etc. are posted on this site. In addition, there is
a mail tool and Announcement for communication.
GRADEBOOK: All grades are posted in Sakai Gradebook II (except individual WA homework
and WA quiz scores which are accessed in your WA gradebook). You are responsible for
verifying that your grades are accurate. You have one week after a score has been posted
to contact your TA to resolve any grade concerns. We will NOT consider these grading
disputes nor make grade adjustment at the end of the semester.
Please note: Course policies are detailed in this syllabus, updated course information is
communicated through Announcements and mail in Sakai. Critical class announcements can
reach you immediately where you are (via phone, tablet, and computer) without taking up lecture
time in the classroom. Make sure you check Announcement and mail regularly.
If you cannot find your answer in the resources above, please communicate with your TA
immediately. If you have any personal matters that you cannot communicate with your TA, you
may contact your instructor during office hours (preferred) or, use the mail tool in Sakai. Make
sure your lecture period, TA’s name and the section numbers are in the ‘subject’ line when
sending mail in order to get a reply.
2e. LECTURES & CLASS EXPECTATIONS
This class meets for three 50-minute lectures and one 50-minute discussion section per week.
An approximate schedule for which weeks will cover which lectures and online assignments is in
the course calendar. An Assignment Due Date page is provided in Resource in Sakai for your
convenience. You are required to attend all classes.
LECTURE & NOTE OUTLINES: Lectures will be used to introduce you to the fundamental
concepts and theory of calculus and will follow as closely as possible the lecture outline and
calendar provided in this syllabus. On the days where a lecture is being repeated indicates a
‘catch-up’ date if needed, otherwise, lectures will move forward. After each lecture, the
completed lecture notes will be available to copy on the door of Little 376. It is important that
you bring outlines to each lecture in order to follow along the lecture and engage attentively.
You may purchase the note outlines from Target Copy on 1412 W. University Ave., or you may
print them out from Sakai. An Objective file in the Resource in Sakai states the objectives of
each lecture. This is a very helpful tool for students to check before and after each lecture to
understand what’s covered in the lecture and what’s expected of you from each lecture.
EXPECTATION: This is a very challenging course. Treating it as anything less than that is
inherently unwise, both for your learning and for your grade. This means that *at a minimum*
we expect students to spend 2 hours effectively studying outside of class for every hour in class.
(We used to say 3 hours outside classroom for every hour in class … In my personal opinion,
7
that is more realistic if you really want to excel.) MAC 2312 is a 4 credit hour course, which
means each student is responsible for spending at least 8 to 12 hours per week preparing for this
course outside the classroom. Most of this time will be spent working on homework. Students
are also expected to review their notes and read ahead regularly.
If you are not doing as well as you would like in MAC2312, you may need to put forth more
effort. We try very hard to make the exams a fair measure of students’ achievement, you are
responsible to study all of the exam material. If you only mastered 90% of the exam coverage,
you may end up missing 20% or more of the exam since 20% or more of the exam might cover
the 10% you don’t know. (And we do assume you already have 100% mastery of all basic
algebra, trig., and Calc. 1 skills.)
Attendance in lecture and discussion is required. You are responsible for learning lecture
material missed due to an absence.
Lastly, make sure to turn off and put away all electronic devices (except the HITT clicker)
during class. If you have to use a phone (for an emergency, etc.), quietly leave the classroom
and return as soon as possible. If you know you will have to leave class early, please sit close to
the back and exit quietly so that you do not disturb your classmates.
2f. DISCUSSION SECTION
Discussion sections meet once a week (either Tuesday or Thursday, depending on the section in
which you are registered.) It gives you a valuable opportunity for open discussion of the lecture
material and assigned problems in a smaller class setting. Go to
http://www.math.ufl.edu/courses/mathematics-department-classes-and-instructors-fall-2014/ to see
when and where your discussion sections meets.
Your main resource person is your discussion leader, a teaching assistant (TA) who is a
graduate student in the Mathematics Department. He or she is available during office hours (or
by appointment) to help you with questions about any course material.
Your TA is responsible for grading/recording your work. You MUST check the gradebook in
Sakai regularly and consult with your TA, if you have any questions about the recorded grades.
You are responsible of retaining all returned papers in case of any discrepancy with your
course grades. All grade concerns must be taken care of with your TA, within one week of the
posting of the score.
If you have concerns about your discussion class which can not be handled by your TA, please
contact your instructor (use office hours or Sakai mail tool).
8
2g. FREE HELP
In addition to attending your lecture and discussion section regularly, visit your TA’s and/or
instructor’s office hours. With so many helpful resources listed below available to you, there is
no need to struggle on your own. Don’t fall behind.
Feel free to go to any Calculus II office hours that suit your schedule. (A link to these
hours is posted in Sakai after 1st week, it covers the span of five days a week. Go to
another TA’s office hours if you have a schedule conflict with your own TA’s hours).
The Teaching Center Math Lab, located at SE Broward Hall, offers free tutoring. You
may want to attend different hours to find the tutors with whom you feel most comfort-
able. For more information (hours, etc.), go to their website www.teachingcenter.ufl.edu.
You can also request free one-on-one tutoring. You may also attend the office hours and
exam reviews provided by the SI (supplemental instructor in the Teaching Center
designated to this class). Students are strongly encouraged to use the Math Lab service.
Lectures are taped for your convenience if you find the need to watch the lecture again.
(click on the ‘Taped Lectures’ in Sakai). This also allows you to copy the worked out
solution if you didn’t get the chance to do so during lecture.
Do not use this opportunity to rationalize skipping class.
WA also offers video, animation and other teaching aids.
Multiple copies of the text book and solution manual are located at the reserve desks at
Marston Library.
Private Tutors: If after availing yourself of these aids, you feel you need more help, you
may obtain a list of qualified tutors for hire (not free) at www.math.ufl.edu. Search
‘tutors’.
The Counseling Center has some informative information on developing math
confidence. Go to http://www.counseling.ufl.edu/cwc/Developing-Math-
Confidence.aspx for information on math confidence and information on joining the
Academic Confidence Group.
2h. SUCCESS
9
Engage (participate and proactive) in class, complete work on time(practice and practice), keep
pace with the course, utilize help, do not fall behind.
Other than having a strong precalculus and calculus I background, success in MAC 2312
depends largely on your attitude and effort. Attendance and participation in class is critical.
You may find it beneficial to work daily on the material as opposed to saving it all for one day.
It is not effective to sit and copy notes without following the thought processes involved in the
lecture or during office hours. For example, you should try to answer the questions posed in the
lecturer, at least mentally. Students who do not participate actively generally have greater
difficulties. For that reason, there are clicker questions included in each lecture to enhance
your engagement in the class.
Be aware that much of the learning of mathematics at the university takes place outside of the
classroom. You need to spend time reviewing the concepts of each lecture before you attempt
homework problems. It is also important to spend some time looking over the textbook sections
to be covered in the next lecture to become familiar with the vocabulary and main ideas before
the next class. That way you will be able to better grasp the material presented by your lecturer.
As mentioned earlier, you should spend at least at least 8–12 hours per week for you to prepare
for this course outside the classroom. It’s critical that you keep current with the course material,
do not fall behind. It takes roughly 42 lecture hours in colleges vs. 142 lecture hours in high
school to complete a calculus course. The fact of the matter is that college course goes almost
3+ times faster and that you probably won’t do well if you wait till later to study for quizzes or
exams. Visit TA’s and Instructor’s office hours, and the office hours provided by the course
SI or the free tutoring services in Broward Teaching Center. Use the resources available as you
study! Do not let conceptual misunderstandings or math questions go unanswered.
Students are strongly encouraged to work together. It’s a good way for students to collaborate,
and the exchanges you have help you be more engaged in the course and be more prepared and
confident in classroom and in exams. The effort of asking questions and communicating ideas
clearly, as well as the practice of writing solutions, are effective tools in helping you better
understand calculus concepts.
However, make sure this does lead to a better conceptual understanding. You must be able to
work through the problems on your own, and not let a tutor, friend or calculator ‘think’ for you.
Be sure that you can work problems completely on your own, without help, by the time of a quiz
or exam. If you work together either with a group or with a tutor, each student must turn in his
or her own work, not a copied solution, on any collected individual assignments.
When it comes to math, there are no dumb questions, but you should always go over your notes
to see if you can find the answer on your own. When you do ask for help, begin by stating what
you have tried and what you are stuck on to allow others to better assist you.
10
If after you have done all that as suggested above, and you are still not doing well in class, please
do not suffer on your own. Talk to your TA and/or your instructor and let us find out together
how to better help you succeed in this class. Each of us learns differently, it’s my hope that
through focused study and practice, you will gain a real appreciation for the important concepts
of calculus and their application. We want you to do well in this class! But you must keep up
with the course material and take the initiative to get help in time before you get too far behind.
Students with a positive attitude who are intellectually engaged in learning the material will get
the most from the course.
2i. STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Students requesting exam accommodations must first register with the Dean of Students Office
Disability Resource Center (DRC), www.dso.ufl.edu/drc/, (352-392-8565). The DRC will
provide documentation letter to the student to present to the course coordinator, Chui in LIT 376,
when requesting accommodation. This must be done as early as possible in the semester, at
least one week before the first exam, to ensure adequate time for the office to make proper
accommodation.
2j. ACADEMIC HONESTY
The Honor Pledge
“On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this
assignment.”
All students are required to abide by the Academic Honesty Guidelines which have been
accepted by the University. The academic community of students and faculty at the University
of Florida strives to develop, sustain and protect an environment of honesty, trust, and respect.
Students are expected to pursue knowledge with integrity. Exhibiting honesty in academic
pursuits and reporting violations of the Academic Honesty Guidelines will encourage others to
act with integrity. Violations of the Academic Honesty Guidelines shall result in judicial
action and a student being subject to the sanctions in the Student Code of Conduct. The
conduct set forth hereinafter constitutes a violation of the Academic Honesty Guidelines
(University of Florida Rule 6C1-4.017),
https://www.dso.ufl.edu/sccr/process/student-conduct-honor-code/
When submitting your clicker points in lectures, each student sends in his or her own
responses. Clicking in for another student is in violation of the Academic Honesty
11
Guidelines. Anything else is in violation of the Academic Honesty. In such case, both
students will receive a zero for the attendance participation points for the entire course.
When submitting written homework assignment, it must be your individual work, your
paper. In such case, all involved parties will receive a zero for the Written Homework
grade for the course.
Any suspicious activity during quizzes or exams will be considered as cheating and violators will
be taken to honor court where you may face automatic failure or even expulsion. At the very
least, you will receive a zero for this quiz/exam and you may not be allowed to retake the
quiz/exam nor the opportunity to take the make up for this quiz/exam.
3. GRADING
3a. COURSE GRADE: The course is based on 410 points accumulated as follows:
13 WA homework sets 40 pts (9.76%)
4 WA quizzes 40 pts (9.76%)
2 Discussion Homework 10 pts (2.44%)
6 Discussion Quizzes (best 6 of 8) 30 pts (7.32%)
Class Participation (80% total H-ITT points collected) 30 pts (7.32%)
3 Unit Exams 180 pts (43.9%)
1 Final Exam 80 pts (19.5%)
Total: 410 pts (100%)
Add your bonus points from the Syllabus Quiz(1 point, in Sakai), the Diagnostic Quiz (4 points,
in WA) and the Mid-Term Self-Evaluation Assessment (1point, in Sakai), then use the grade
scale below to determine your final letter grade. The course grade is determined by the
number of points you earn, not by the percentage. A grade calculating tool, Course Grade
Calculating Tool, is provided in Resource in Sakai for your convenience.
Note, extra assignments for individual students to improve a grade are NOT possible.
A : 369 – 410 A – : 359 – 368 B + : 346 – 358
B : 328 – 345 B – : 314 – 327 C + : 301 – 313
C : 277 – 300 C – : 264 – 276 D + : 256 – 263
D : 236 – 255 D – : 211 – 235 E : below 211
NOTE: A grade of C– and below DOES NOT give General Education Math Credit!
For those taking the S-U option: S (277 points and more) U (below 277 points)
12
Approval of the S-U option must be obtained from your coordinator and approved by the
registrar’s office. The deadline for filing an application with the Registrar and further
information about the S-U option are found in the Undergraduate UF Catalog.
80 points of your 410 points will come from homework and class participation. It will be
difficult to get a good grade without doing the homework and attending class.
For information on dropping courses and withdrawals go to
https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/drops.aspx, for a complete explanation of
current policies for assigning grade points, refer to the UF undergraduate catalog:
http://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/grades.aspx
3b. INCOMPLETE GRADES.
A Student who has completed a major portion of the course with a passing grade but is
unable to complete the final exam or other course requirements due to illness or emergency may
be granted an incomplete grade, indicated by a grade of “I”. This allows the student to complete
the course within the first six weeks of the following semester. The student must contact the
course coordinator before finals week for departmental approval and must provide
documentation of the extenuating circumstances preventing him or her from completing the
course. The grade of “I” is never used to avoid an undesirable grade, and does not allow a
student to redo work already graded or retake the course. See the official policy at
http://www.math.ufl.edu/department/incomplet-grades/.
3c. EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES.
DIAGNOSTIC QUIZ(4 pts), SYLLABUS QUIZ(1 pt), SELF-EVALUATION
ASSESSMENT(1 pt). These give you the extra bonus opportunity, but you must complete it
before the due date. Once the due date passes, they can not be re-opened again. The Diagnostic
Quiz which is found in WA provides a review of the required precalclus and calculus I skills.
You have 3 submissions per problem and 3 hours to complete it. The Syllabus Quiz which is
found on the Assessment link in Sakai is intended to make sure you understand the important
course policies. The Self-Evaluation Quiz which is found on the Assessment link in Sakai is
after exam 2 to let you know your approximate standing in the class after two exams.
3d. WEBASSIGN HOMEWORK AND QUIZ.
Online homework administered in WebAssign is planned to review concepts and provide the
timely practice of the lecture material. There are 13 set of Online homework assignments and 4
Online quiz during the semester and they must be completed by the specified due date. Your
13
total score on online homework and quiz will count up to a maximum 40 points each, but the
total number of points available is higher to offset credit lost due to technical difficulties.
Your work is graded by the software and you see your score immediately after submitting your
work. You will have unlimited time and multiple attempts for each homework problem, and
there are aids and a link to the ebook to help you solve homework problems. The four online
quizzes cover the exam material not covered in the discussion quiz . WQ1: L12-13; WQ2: L22-
23; WQ3: L33-35 and WQ4: L36, 37. You must earn at least 70% on the corresponding WA
homework set before you can open the WA quiz set. You will have three attempts and 3 hours to
complete each quiz, the clock starts running from the time you open your quiz. Complete them
before the exam to maximize the benefit. Like any in class quiz, you will not know if your
answers are correct when you take a quiz. The three attempts are to give you a chance to review
your answer, erase an undesired answer and enter an updated answer, but you will not see any
results until the due date has passed. After the due date, you may see your quiz scores and
review the questions missed in the WebAssign gradebook.
There are no makeups or drops for online assignments. Do not try to complete or submit a
homework assignment in one sitting; start early instead of waiting until the due date to avoid
missing the deadline. We will not extend time for computer or internet issues or Webassign
server problems, etc.
All online work are due 10PM on Tuesday. See Assignment DUE DATE in Sakai for more
details).
The WebAssign Homework and Quiz are open book and open note. You may have a tutor help
you with the homework, but NOT the quiz.
If you are experiencing a problem with logging in, registration, or WebAssign in general, please
contact WebAssign Support. Their contact information is on their homepage.
There are roughly 45 homework problems per week and 10 problems in each online quiz. but
some weeks can be more, and others may be less. Start early!
NOTE: The online assignments will be closed for good for submission after the deadline, but
remains open for review and practice.
3e. DISCUSSION SECTION HOMEWORK AND QUIZZES.
QUIZ: Eight quizzes of 5 points each will be administered in the discussion section by your TA,
best six count towards your course grade. Quiz questions will be based on the previous lectures.
No aids may be used.
14
Arrangements can be made to take a quiz early if you know you will be absent for an approved
UF related function.
HOMEWORK: Write out complete algebraic solution to the WA homework problems to be
submitted twice a semester for grades, each homework set worth 5 pts. Mathematics work must
be done neatly, logically and complete algebraic solution must be shown for credit.
Homework will be checked for completeness and a few problems will be graded for accuracy.
Students are allowed to work together but solutions must be written up individually without any
help and the work should be your own and not copied from other sources to avoid honor
code violation.
Your TA will give you one week notice for the homework collection. You must bring ALL the
homework, neatly separated by sets to the discussion. Arrangements can be made with your TA
to turn in the homework early, not later, if you know you will be absent on the collection date for
an approved UF function. If you are present in discussion section at the time of the collection
but forget to bring your homework set, you have till noon next day to bring the ENTIRE
homework set up to date for credits with 1 point penalty. You must notify and make
arrangement with your TA before you leave the discussion that day. No other late homework
will be accepted.
3f. CLASS PARTICIPATION (HITT Clicker).
We use H-ITT clicker to record attendance and class participation. For each clicker question,
you’ll receive 1 point for a correct answer, 0.5 point for an incorrect answer and 0 for no
response. To accommodate for any possible electronic malfunctions and/or electronic glitches,
or simply because you forgot to bring your clicker some days, we drop 20% of the HITT points
collected. (For example, if there are 200 clicker points collected this term, and you obtain 100
clicker points for your participation in lecture, then you have earned (100/160)x30 = 18.75 (out
of 30) H-ITT points for your course grade).
Students are responsible for having a working clicker ready by Wednesday September 3.
Check your clicker ID is displayed on the screen each time it’s used in lectures. Weekly or
Bi-weekly HITT grades report will be sent to student’s UF email. Resolve any clicker issues
immediately. Any problems unresolved is students’ responsibility. No H-ITT points can
possibly be recovered or made up. Keep your receipt, contact the merchant or the HITT
company if you have issues with your clicker. The contact info is in the ‘H-ITT’ in the
Resources in Sakai.
You must register your clicker in order to receive points for your grade, but do so only
AFTER YOUR FIRST successful use when you see your clicker ID is displayed on the
screen in class. Go to the ‘HITT’ link in Sakai to see detailed information including how
15
to register, how to set channel, how to calculate your HITT points, etc .
NOTE: WebAssign Homework, quizzes, Discussion quizzes and Lecture Clicker Questions
account for 140 points of your total course score, to reflect their importance in understanding
course concepts.
3g. ADDITIONAL PRACTICE PROBLEMS.
There are also problems listed in the note outlines, called ‘Now You Try It’. These were written
by the course coordinator and are designed to emphasize the important concepts and practice of
the lecture material. These problems are not graded, but it is encouraged that you work as many
as possible. Answers are posted along with the notes.
4. TESTING

Students are responsible for material covered in the lecture notes (including Now You Try It
(NYTI) problems), all assigned WA Problems and written homework problems. Old exams,

i. Make up – Exams: There are two kinds of exam makeups – makeup exam and conflict
exam.
MAKEUP EXAM: (consists multiple choices only with no partial credits)
Without penalty – To be eligible for a make up without penalty, you must have a valid
excuse (illness or participation in UF sponsored events, court orders, etc.) and
documentation and that you have signed-up for it during the course coordinator’s office
hours, at least ONE WEEK prior to the exam date.
With 10-point penalty – You may still take a make up exam if you missed the exam or
the sign up period due to your own negligence or without a proper excuse or not meeting
the eligibility requirement stated above. You will still need to sign up with the
coordinator immediately during the office hours.
If you fall ill at the last minute, contact your TA and the coordinator as soon as possible,
(no later than 24 hours after the exam), with a valid documentation for approval for a
make up without penalty.
17
The makeup for any unit exam is on Wednesday, December 10.
The makeup date for the final will be determined. Details will be given during the sign
up.
CONFLICT EXAM: The conflict exam will be offered from 6:40 – 8:25 on the same
night as the regular exam. You are not permitted to leave the exam room before 8:25PM.
Who are eligible for the conflict exam?
The UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA DURING TERM ASSEMBLY EXAM POLICY
states: “If other classes are scheduled during an exam time, instructors must provide
make-up class work for students who miss class because of an assembly exam. If two
exams are scheduled at the same time, assembly exams take priority over time-of-class
exams. When two assembly exams conflict, the higher course number takes priority.
Instructors giving make-up exams will make the necessary adjustments.”
If MAC2312 is the lower course number, students must inform the course coordinator in
person during office hours at least ONE WEEK in advance of the exam date so that
appropriate accommodations can be made. Otherwise it may not be possible to
reschedule, and a 10-point penalty incurs.
You may also take the conflict exam if you are participating in a UF sponsored event
during the regular exam time. You must provide documentation of the conflict to the
course coordinator in person at least ONE WEEK in advance of the exam date to sign up
to avoid 10-point penalty.
CONTENT OF THE MAKEUP EXAMS: Makeup exam length and content may not
match the regular exam exactly, its format is all multiple choice.
MISSING A FINAL EXAM DUE TO NEGLIGENCE, however, will result in a
minimum 10–point penalty.
ii. Make up – Webassign Homework and quizzes: With the extended availability of
the online work along with three drops for the quiz and, the due date clearly marked
on the calendar and on the ‘Assignment Due Date’ file from the beginning of the
semester, we do not provide makeup for online work nor reopen any online work.
You must start your work in plenty of time to allow for computer issues.
18
iii. Make up – Discussion Quiz: Since we drop the two lowest quiz grades to
accommodate occasional/emergency absence, etc., no make up is provided.
iv. Make up – H-ITT Clicker Questions: With the 20% drops to accommodate any
technical glitches or the days you forget to bring your clickers, we do not provide
makeups for clicker points.
v. Other make ups: There are no make ups on any extra points opportunities.
