Final Exam |

Prerequisites
One year of college chemistry, one year of college physics, and MTH 254 (vector calculus). MTH 256 and 341 are beneficial but not required
Grading
The grade for the course is based on the results of two hour exams, the final exam, and the assignments. The point distribution is as follows:
|
|
|
There are five problem sets to be
turned in, and within each set, five random problems will be graded. Each graded homework problem is worth one
point and there will be ~ twenty five problems graded over the course of the
term (5 points of extra credits!).
The problems will be graded as
right or wrong by the TA.
Three problem sets are due on
Wednesdays, and two are due on Mondays (highlighted). If the assignments are not submitted at the
beginning of the class on the due date, the problem set will not be accepted –
no exceptions.
The grade guidelines given above
are upper bounds. If your grade exceeds the value given, e.g., if it exceeds
330 then an A grade is guaranteed.
Calculator policy
On the at-home Assignments,
calculators are allowed as the arithmetic is complicated. On
hour exams, no calculators are allowed. Typically answers
will be given to one significant figure and all of the complicated integrals
(if any are used) will be supplied.
Policy on plagiarisms for turned in homework sets
Homework
from “solutions manual”: if there is any sign of such a behavior, all points
from homework will be wiped out.
Homework
from other students: everybody in the group shares the total points of that
problem set. For example, if two people
have an identical answer (including all details) to one problem in a problem
set, and all problems are answered right, each student receives 50% of the
total point of the whole set.
Expectations for Student Conduct: http://oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/achon.htm
Regarding Students with Disabilities: Accommodations are collaborative efforts between
students, faculty and Disability Access Services (DAS). Students with accommodations approved through DAS are
responsible for contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to
or during the first week of the term to discuss accommodations. Students who
believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have not yet obtained
approval through DAS should contact DAS immediately at 737-4098.
Differences between 441 and 541 in
learning outcomes: CH440 students
will be required to finish all problems in assigned homework and exams, while
CH540 students are expected to see the instructor for additional discussion
problems/essays.
