Assessment: The final course grade will be determined
as follows:
20% Class attendance and participation
50% Mentor Tutoring Experience
15% Midterm examination
15% Final examination
Grading guidelines +90% A, 89-80% B, 79 – 70% C, 69 – 60% D,
-60% F.
Topics covered by the course: We will review
tricky issues which occur in elementary, middle, and high school
mathematics. In particular, we will investigate number
theory, ratios and proportions, and the real numbers through the
lens of a K-12 grade school teacher.
Written work: We write to communicate. Please bear
this in mind as you complete homework assignments and take
exams. Work must be neat and legible to receive consideration.
You must explain your work in order to obtain full credit; an
assertion is not an answer. For specific suggestions see
A guide to writing in mathematics classes.
Disabilities: Students with disabilities who will be
taking this course and may need disability-related classroom
accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see the
instructor as soon as possible.
