MATH1011 Summer 2017/18
General information
Workshops
There will be 3 workshops each week each lasting for 2 hours. Students are expected to prepare for each class by familiarising themselves with the relevant content as outlined in the unit plan. Class time will be used for working through the provided problem sheet with the assistance of a demonstrator. Attendance is compulsory as there will be in-class assessments.
Lectures
There will be no face to face lectures for this unit. Instead, brief video lectures (or lecturettes) with accompanying notes and a unit reader will be accessible through LMS. Students are expected to familiarise themselves with this material before attending workshops. A list of required viewing/reading for each workshop can be found in the unit plan.
Assessment
Assessment consists of in-class activities, a mid-summer test and a final exam.
| Item | Weighting |
|---|---|
| Class participation | 10% |
| Mid-summer test | 30% |
| Final exam | 60% |
If there are medical or other personal circumstances preventing you from completing assessments you will need to make a request for special consideration through your Allocated Course Advice Office (you can view your Allocated Course Advice Office in studentConnect under ‘Course & Unit’). This must be done within three working days of the assessment.
Do not send any requests for special consideration to the unit coordinator or lecturer.
Contact
Mathematical questions are likely to also be of interest to fellow students, and so if possible they should be posted in the discussion board on LMS. If your question is about the content of a video lecture then you can use the comments section on youtube. Ideally answers will be provided by fellow students (teaching is the best way to master a subject) but if necessary the lecturer will also respond.
Other enquiries can be emailed or discussed in person during consultation times (see below).
