Specifically:
○ Posting photos or comments that would be off-topic in a classroom are still off-topic in an online posting.
○ Disrespectful language and photos are never appropriate.
○ Using angry or abusive language is not acceptable, and will be dealt with according to the Student Code. The instructor may remove online postings that are inappropriate.

● Other expectations for online communication (on Discussion Board, Emails, Zoom chat etc):
○ Emails: When emailing your Instructor and Teaching Team keep a professional tone (e.g. Use a descriptive subject line, avoid “Hey” and always use your professors’ proper title: Dr. or Prof., Sign your message with your name and return e-mail address. Please consult this page for tips on how to write appropriate professional emails:https://academicpositions.com/career-advice/how-to-email-a-professor
○ Treat your instructor, teaching team and classmates with respect in email or any other communication.
○ Remember that all college level communication should have correct spelling and grammar (this includes discussion boards).
○ Avoid slang terms such as “wassup?” and texting abbreviations such as “u” instead of “you.”
○ Be cautious when using humor or sarcasm as tone is sometimes lost in an email or discussion post and your message might be taken seriously or be offensive to others.

J. ASSIGNMENTS, ASSESSMENT & GRADING
Here are some details about course grading.
● The total score is the weighted sum of the best three of four midterms, the Math 2270 - 1 Linear Algebra (Tentative Syllabus) October 9, 2020
Fall 2020
homework and the final. The best of three midterms will be weighted 42%, the homework 36% and the final final 21%. Grades will be assigned by the scale above, which is based on my experience of previous classes. If percentage of total score is at least P then grade will be as in the table. For example, if a student gets 66% on midterms, 95% on homework and 55% on final then her weighted total will be (.42)(.66)+(.37)(.95)+(.21)(.55) = .7442 which earns her the grade B.
● The midterms and final will consist of a sequence of quizzes on canvas.
Students will upload a pdf file for each solution. Students should be familiar with the technology to make a pdf file of their solution and upload it to canvas in the time allotted.
There will be four midterm exams on Wednesdays Sept. 16, Oct. 7, Oct. 28 and Nov. 18. These will be given as timed quizzes in canvas. The midterm score will be the sum of the best three midterm scores. Their total weighting in the final score is 42%. Students seeking academic accommodations should contact me and make necessary arrangements before the first exam. Students will have to arrange an alternative with me beforehand if they are unable to take the exam at the scheduled time. Otherwise, except in extraordinary circumstances, no makeup exams will be given. Students will be able to submit an optional analysis of their exams on the class day after exams are returned.
The analysis will be discussion and corrections of the the exam problems. For each analysis I will increase the test score by up to 7% of the exam.
The final exam will be half on the material since the last midterm and half comprehensive. Students will not be able to submit an analysis of the final.
Students must take the final to pass the class. I will be available via email during the exams to answer questions.
Homework will be assigned weekly. The homework problems will be listed on the class webpage and on the class canvas page. Students may discuss homework with each other, but are expected to writ up assigments on their own. Copying from another student or from the internet is cheating and will be treated as academic misconduct. If you use any reference other than the textbook, you are expected to quote the reference in full and provide a complete citation. Refer to the American mathematical Society style guide

Late Assignments/Missed Assignments/Regrading Policies:
● Homework will be due every Friday at 4:00pm. To ease the burden of our homework grader, who has so little time to grade, homework that is late but not more than one week late will receive half credit. Homework that is more than one week late will receive no credit at all. If there are any queries on homework, please write your question and send it to me with a copy of the homework and its grading. I will forward your query to the grader.
Incompletes: According to university policy, to be considered for an incomplete, a student must have 20% or less of the course work remaining and be passing the course with a C or better. You must request an incompletegrade and I will consider giving that grade only under exceptional circumstances.

K. ACADEMIC CODE OF CONDUCT
Students are encouraged to review the Student Code for the University of Utah: https://regulations.utah.edu/academics/6-400.php. In order to ensure that the highest standards of academic conduct are promoted and upported at the University, students must adhere to generally accepted standards of academic honesty, including but not limited to refraining from cheating, plagiarizing, research misconduct, misrepresenting one's work, and/or inappropriately collaborating. A student who engages in academic misconduct as defined in Part I.B. may be subject to academic sanctions including but not limited to a grade reduction, failing grade, probation, suspension or dismissal from the program or the University, or revocation of the student's degree or certificate. Sanctions may also include community service, a written reprimand, and/or a written statement of misconduct that can be put into an appropriate record maintained for purposes of the profession or discipline for which the student is preparing. Incidents of academic misconduct (e.g. cheating, plagiarizing, misrepresenting one's work, and/or inappropriately collaborating on exams) will be subject to penalty per Section V of Policy 6-400, the Student Code.
Incidents of academic dishonesty on homework assignments will result in a minimum penalty of a full letter-grade reduction and up to a failing grade (E) or the course. Incidents of academic dishonesty on exams will result in a minimum penalty of a failing grade (E) for the course, and the incident(s) will be referred to the dean of your major-department college for possible further sanction.).
