Evaluation
9 partial examinations: The average will be 70% of your grade.

Examinations:
You will have 9 partial examinations and the final examination. The final will count
30% of your final grade. The average of the partials will count for 70% of your final
grade.
In case you miss one partial examination, unless a medical excuse is provided, you
will have a 0 grade. Be aware that you must have a medical certification.
In case you provide a medical excuse, usually you will not have a make-up test, but
your average will be done with one grade less. You may have a make-up test at the
instructor convenience.
If you are present the day of a partial examination you must take this partial, even
though you were absent before this test.
A global extra credit assignment can be considered to improve your final grade, with
a maximum of 5 extra points on your final grade, in order to increase your GPA.
The homework will not be recollected or graded. The professor may check whether your
homework is done, in case it is not, he may exclude you from the classroom. The
homework is an essential part of your apprenticeship... It is very important for you to
note that you must do your homework carefully.
You are expected to arrive on time at each class.
In addition to the homework, you are expected to solve some exercises, the most as
possible to practice. To have a good chance to pass this material you must work hard.
Zoom meeting
The classes will be done by zoom meeting. For participating please turn on your
camera, so I can see you. In general, disable your microphone, you can unable it
anytime if you have a question. While you follow the class, have a paper and a pencil
with you, so you can solve the problems I will give you during the class.
Examination procedure
The examinations will be done through the Honorlock. For that you must use a
computer and the Google Chrome browser.
It is important that the camera not only shows your face but also your both hands.
If the criteria are not met, I may not grade your exam (0 grade).
In a general principle, an examination will consist on a set of questions you must
answer writing down on a paper. Then you must upload it in the Canvas. The time
allowed, it is to solve your exam and scan or photograph it and to upload it. If the time
is out before you can send your job, you will have the option to use the Inbox of the
Canvas, but I will take off points for that: 5 points less if you upload less than 5 minutes
late, and 1 additional point less for each extra minute if I have the test 5 minutes or
more late. The reference for that will be the hour I will have received your mail.
Your entire exam must be uploaded on a unique PDF file in the Canvas.
To practice that it is particularly important to complete the Honorlock practice. This one
will not be graded, but I may let comments so you can change if something is wrong.
Calculators
A graphic programmable calculator is strongly recommended for this course. You will
be allowed to use it during examination except if stated otherwise. You can just use
devices designed to be a calculator. You cannot use something like an iPhone or a
Samsung Galaxy in the examinations.
Grades:
0-59: F
60- 65: D
66-69: D+
70-73: C
74-77 C+
78-81 B-
82-85 B

Florida State Honor code
Students are expected to uphold the Academic Honor Code published in The Florida
State University Bulletin and the Student Handbook. The Academic Honor System of
The Florida State University is based on the premise that each student has the
responsibility (1) to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity in the student's
own work, (2) to refuse to tolerate violations of academic integrity in the university
community, and (3) to foster a high sense of integrity and social responsibility on the
part of the university community.
ADA policy
Students with disabilities needing academic accommodation should; (1) register with
and provide documentation to the Student Disability Resource Center; (2) bring a letter
to the instructor indicating the need for accommodation and what type. This should be
done during the first week of class.
If you wish to speak confidentially about an incident of sexual misconduct, want more
information about filing a report, or have questions about school policies and
procedures, please contact our Title IX Coordinator, which can be found on our
school's website.
