Math 104, fall 2006, Isabel Lugo

I am the recitation instructor for Todd Drumm's Math 104 class, lecture section 002 in the fall of 2006.

Dr. Drumm

The lecture for this class is on Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 11 AM to noon in DRL A6.

The recitations for this class are as follows:

Recitation 211: Tuesday, 8:30 - 9:30 AM
Recitation 212: Tuesday, 9:30 - 10:30 AM
Recitation 213: Thursday, 8:30 - 9:30 AM
Recitation 214: Thursday, 9:30 - 10:30 AM

These are in DRL 4E19. You should attend your assigned recitation.

Homework: please hand homework in in recitation. If you will not be able to attend recitation, please hand homework in to my office (DRL 4N27) in one of the following ways:

Hand it to me.
Hand it to my officemate, and let him know it is for me.
Slip it under the door of my office.

Do not hand homework in to either my department mailbox or the box on my office door. Each homework assignment will be graded out of 5 points, where 0 means "no work submitted", 5 means "perfect or nearly perfect", and intermediate grades correspond to intermediate levels of completion. In many recitations there will be a quiz, graded out of 10 points and given in the last ten to fifteen minutes of class. I do not plan to give a quiz in every recitation, but I will give them frequently enough that you should come to recitation. (You should be coming to recitation anyway!)

Note that just because you receive 5 out of 5 on a given homework assignment does not mean you got everything right. If you would like to know if you have done a certain problem correctly, please ask about it in recitation or office hours.

Grading: the "recitation grade" (homework and quizzes) counts for one-sixth of your grade. There will be three midterm exams, each counting one-sixth of your grade. Thefinal exam counts for one-third of your grade. The recitation grade will be determined by adding the total number of points you earned on homework and quizzes and dividing by the total number of points possible; for each student I will drop the lowest homework and the lowest quiz. I will give these numbers to Dr. Drumm, who will count them as a part of your overall grade.

Office hours: Mondays, noon to 1 PM; Thursdays, 3 to 4 PM; or by appointment. My office is DRL 4N27. E-mail me at isabel at math dot upenn dot edu.
