Each of these pages is editable by anyone in the class, so apart from telling you what problems to work on they are excellent spaces in which to ask questions. (If you are very shy you may ask your questions privately, either by [mailto:Steven.Jackson@umb.edu email] or in person. But we will all work more efficiently if you ask them on the wiki, so that each question only needs to be answered once.) It is also extremely helpful to try to answer questions posed by other students. I will monitor these pages to ensure that no wrong answers go uncorrected.<br /> <br /> If you are not already familiar with them, you may wish to read about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup wiki markup] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS:MATH#Typesetting_of_mathematical_formulae typesetting mathematics]. Also, you may wish to add this page and the assignment pages to your [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]] using the link in the upper right corner of each page, then change your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]] to enable e-mail notifications; this way you will know about page activity without constantly re-checking all the pages.<br /> <br /> ==Scoring rubric==<br /> <br /> Quizzes and exam questions are all scored on a five-point scale, defined as<br /> follows:<br /> <br /> ; 5/5 : Response demonstrates substantial mastery of the ideas assessed by the question. May contain small imperfections addressed in comments. Student should move forward and learn new things.<br /> ; 4/5 : Response demonstrates understanding of sound technique, but execution errors lead to wrong answer.<br /> ; 3/5 : Response is generally on the right track; student would probably solve the problem given sufficient time, but is not yet demonstrating full understanding of the ideas assessed by the problem. Student should spend more time in order to achieve full understanding.<br /> ; 2/5 : Response indicates a substantial misconception. Student is unlikely to make progress without first correcting the misconception, and should speak with some other person in order to get back on track.<br /> ; 1/5 : Response employs relevant words and phrases, but does not demonstrate a sound understanding of the question or productive approaches to it. Student should seek assistance.<br /> ; 0/5 : No response, or response not relevant to the question.<br /> <br /> ==Weekly assignments==<br /> <br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 1|Assignment 1]], due Wednesday, February 2.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 2|Assignment 2]], due Wednesday, February 9.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 3|Assignment 3]], due Wednesday, February 16.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 4|Assignment 4]], due Wednesday, February 23.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 5|Assignment 5]], due Wednesday, March 2.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 6|Assignment 6]], due Wednesday, March 9.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 7|Assignment 7]], due Wednesday, March 23.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 8|Assignment 8]], due Wednesday, March 30.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 9|Assignment 9]], due Wednesday, April 6.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 10|Assignment 10]], due Wednesday, April 13.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 11|Assignment 11]], due Wednesday, April 20.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 12|Assignment 12]], due Wednesday, April 27.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 13|Assignment 13]], due Wednesday, May 4.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 14|Assignment 14]], due Wednesday, May 11.<br /> * [[Math 361, Spring 2022, Assignment 15|Assignment 15]], due before final exam.</div>
