NJIT HONOR CODE

All Students should be aware that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the NJIT Honor code very seriously and enforces it strictly.  This means there must not be any forms of plagiarism, i.e., copying of homework, class projects, or lab assignments, or any form of cheating in quizzes and exams.  Under the Honor Code, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.

 

Mathematics 630-102:

linear algebra and applications

Course Schedule Link

    Instructor:  Prof. Matveev

    Textbook:  Linear Algebra and Its Applications  by G. Strang, Thomson Brooks/Cole, ISBN: 0030105676

    Grading Policy:  The final grade in this course will be determined as follows:

     Homework::

 

20%

     Quizzes

 

20%

     Midterm:

 

28%

     Final Exam:

 

32%

 

Please note that the University Drop Date March 26, 2007 deadline will be strictly enforced.

 

    Homework Policy:  While studying in a group is helpful for reviewing the complicated topics of the course, all homework should represent purely individual effort. No collective work on the homework problems is allowed. Under the Honor Code, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.

 

CLASS POLICIES

Attendance and Participation:  Students must attend all classes. Absences from class will inhibit your ability to fully participate in class discussions and problem solving sessions and, therefore, affect your grade. Tardiness to class is very disruptive to the instructor and students and will not be tolerated.

 

Makeup Exam Policy: There will be no makeup exams, except in rare situations where the student has a legitimate reason for missing an exam, including illness, death in the family, accident, requirement to appear in court, etc. The student must notify the Math office and the Instructor that he/she will miss an exam. In all cases, the student must present proof for missing the exam, e.g., a doctor's note, police report, court notice, etc., clearly stating the date AND times.

 

Cellular Phones:  All cellular phones and beepers must be switched off during all class times.
