Grading• 3 exams =

60%– 20% each of total grade– Administered in the lecture classroom

• Quizzes/Homeworks = 40%– Administered in recitation sections• 20% - quizzes• 20% - homework

Total=100%

Attendance

• Lecture attendance is mandatory– Taken irregularly

• Recitation attendance is mandatory– Taken regularly

Attendance Policy (“extra credit”)Carrot

• Zero unexcused absences = +3% of total grade• One unexcused absence = no penalty

Stick• For 2nd and each subsequent unexcused absence: -2% points• 7 = 50% deduction of total grade

You can fail for lack of attendance!

Two Classrooms, One Course• Lecture (twice a week)

• Recitation Section (once a week)

Two Classrooms, One Course• Lecture (twice a week)– Major themes & principles of method– Reading assignments• Some exercises assigned for homework

1. All UK students must fulfill the inference-logic requirement.

2. If you are enrolled in classes, then you are a UK student.i. You are enrolled in this class.ii. Therefore you are a UK student.

3. Hence you must fulfill the inference-logic requirement.

“All” = universal statement

“You” = member of the logical class - UK students

2. You are not taking calculus

3. Consequently you are taking statistics and logic

4. It follows necessarily you are taking logic

5. Given that all of you are taking logic now, I also infer that some of you have probably already taken statistics.
