Course Structure:
-
This course is part of the
Writing Intensive Curriculum (WIC) at OSU. Learning to write mathematical
text is a major component of this course, culminating in a polished term paper,
roughly 5 pages in length.
-
Homework:
-
There will be weekly homework of several types: traditional problems,
lab reports, reading assignments, and writing assignments.
-
All written work will be marked on both content and presentation.
-
Exams:
-
There will be an in-class midterm at a time to be announced.
-
Grades:
-
Your grade will be based equally on the term paper, the midterm, and the other
assignments.
-
A substantial fraction of the required written work will be corrected but not
graded.
