Homework
Homeworks will be put up on this website (and OWL-Space) every Friday and
are due the next Friday by
3pm. You must turn in your assignment to the Math 102 Section 3 inbox on
the 2nd floor of Herman Brown (next to HB220). Homework solutions should be legible, and each problem should be worked out
in detail with the final answer clearly indicated. Please staple your homework and write your
name and the assignment on the front page. Late homework will not be
accepted however, your lowest homework grade will be dropped.
Exams
There will be two in class midterm exams and one comprehensive final exam. All
exams are closed-book and closed notes and are subject to the Rice
University Honor Code.
You will not be allowed to use a calculator on the exams. Please do not
make your summer travel arrangements until after the final exam date is
announced.
OWL-Space
OWL-Space (aka Sakai) is a is an open source software development effort to
design, build and deploy a new Collaboration and Learning Environment
(CLE) for higher education. Our class will be part of a pilot program to
use Owl-Space to handle basic course management. OWL-Space will eventually replace WebCT which
you may used in another course. I will post announcements, schedules, homeworks and
other resources on OWL-Space. There is also a bulletin board and chat room where you can
interact fellow classmates. You will also be able to see your current homework/exam grades.
Both your login and password will initially be set to the name as your NETID login. For example, my NETID is shelly
so if I were in the class, my login name and password would be shelly. Please change your password (click Modify
under Accounts) after you log in. Unfortunately, you will not be added as a
user until after I get the course roster.
Disability Support
Any student with a documented disability needing academic
adjustments or accommodations is requested to speak with me during the first week of class. All
discussions will remain confidential. Students with disabilities need to also contact Disability
Support Services in the Ley Student Center.
Please send comments to Shelly Harvey (shelly at math.rice.edu).
