Course Syllabus

IMPORTANT: The material in this syllabus assumes full capacity in-person classes. For the first 3 weeks of
the semester, we will be using de-densification strategies to reduce the number of students in a room to below
50% of the room’s capacity. The details will vary, so please check all announcements posted on elearning in all
of your 2414 sections. In general, the following changes will apply:
• You will only be attending your lectures in-person one day of the week.
• You will only be attending your problem section for 50 minutes instead of 1 hour and 50 minutes.
• The first two quizzes will be take-home, and will be due at the start of your problem section time.
After the first 3 weeks, the university will decide whether to resume full in-person classes. Depending on that
decision, we will make further changes in regards to exams and GHW as needed.

During problem section, the TA will:

• review class material and relevant material from prerequisite courses

• return and discuss quizzes and exams
• work problems or have students work problems
• entertain questions
• administer quizzes

Learning mathematics is a time consuming endeavor which provides rich rewards. Like learning a new language, the more time you
spend with mathematics the better your comprehension. It is expected that a typical student will spend 3 hours studying outside of
class for every hour inside class. Thus, in MATH 2414, one should expect to spend at least 9-12 hours studying each week. You will
be assigned homework and practice problems that are consistent with this number of hours.

Technical Support

If you experience any problems with your UTD account you may send an email to: [email protected] , or call the UTD
Computer Helpdesk at 972-883-2911.

Intercollegiate Competitions

Students involved in a UTD sanctioned competitive activity must supply the instructor with a letter certifying his/her eligibility to
participate in such a competition. Said letter may be obtained from the Intercollegiate Compliance Officer. It is the students’
responsibility to discern scheduling conflicts and to inform the instructor well in advance of a class, quiz, or exam that will be
missed due to a competition. The instructor will make reasonable accommodation to resolve the conflict.

Field Trip Policies

Off-campus Instruction and Course Activities

Off-campus, out-of-state, and foreign instruction and activities are subject to state law and University policies and
procedures regarding travel and risk-related activities. Information regarding these rules and regulations may be found at
the website address http://www.utdallas.edu/BusinessAffairs/Travel_Risk_Activities.htm. Additional information is available
from the office of the school dean. Below is a description of any travel and/or risk-related activity associated with this
course.

Student Conduct & Discipline

The University of Texas System and The University of Texas at Dallas have rules and regulations for the orderly and
efficient conduct of their business. It is the responsibility of each student and each student organization to be knowledgeable
about the rules and regulations which govern student conduct and activities. General information on student conduct and
discipline is contained in the UTD printed publication, A to Z Guide, which is provided to all registered students each
academic year.

The University of Texas at Dallas administers student discipline within the procedures of recognized and established due
process. Procedures are defined and described in the Rules and Regulations, Series 50000, Board of Regents, The University
Course Syllabus Page 6
 of Texas System, and in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities of the university’s Handbook of Operating
Procedures. Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the Dean of Students, where staff
members are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and regulations (SU 1.602, 972/883-6391) and online at
http://www.utdallas.edu/judicialaffairs/UTDJudicialAffairs-HOPV.html

A student at the university neither loses the rights nor escapes the responsibilities of citizenship. He or she is expected to
obey federal, state, and local laws as well as the Regents’ Rules, university regulations, and administrative rules. Students
are subject to discipline for violating the standards of conduct whether such conduct takes place on or off campus, or whether
civil or criminal penalties are also imposed for such conduct.

Academic Integrity

The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and academic honesty. Because the value of an academic
degree depends upon the absolute integrity of the work done by the student for that degree, it is imperative that a student
demonstrate a high standard of individual honor in his or her scholastic work.

Scholastic Dishonesty, any student who commits an act of scholastic dishonesty is subject to discipline. Scholastic dishonesty
includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are
attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair
advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts.

Plagiarism, especially from the web, from portions of papers for other classes, and from any other source is unacceptable and
will be dealt with under the university’s policy on plagiarism (see general catalog for details). This course will use the
resources of turnitin.com, which searches the web for possible plagiarism and is over 90% effective.

Copyright Notice

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other
reproductions of copyrighted materials, including music and software. Copying, displaying, reproducing, or distributing
copyrighted works may infringe the copyright owner’s rights and such infringement is subject to appropriate disciplinary
action as well as criminal penalties provided by federal law. Usage of such material is only appropriate when that usage
constitutes “fair use” under the Copyright Act. As a UT Dallas student, you are required to follow the institution’s copyright
policy (Policy Memorandum 84-I.3-46). For more information about the fair use exemption, see
http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/intellectualproperty/copypol2.htm

Email Use

The University of Texas at Dallas recognizes the value and efficiency of communication between faculty/staff and students
through electronic mail. At the same time, email raises some issues concerning security and the identity of each individual in
an email exchange. The university encourages all official student email correspondence be sent only to a student’s U.T.
Dallas email address and that faculty and staff consider email from students official only if it originates from a UTD student
account. This allows the university to maintain a high degree of confidence in the identity of all individual corresponding and
the security of the transmitted information. UTD furnishes each student with a free email account that is to be used in all
communication with university personnel. The Department of Information Resources at U.T. Dallas provides a method for
students to have their U.T. Dallas mail forwarded to other accounts.

Withdrawal from Class

The administration of this institution has set deadlines for withdrawal of any college-level courses. These dates and times are
published in that semester's course catalog. Administration procedures must be followed. It is the student's responsibility to
handle withdrawal requirements from any class. In other words, I cannot drop or withdraw any student. You must do the
proper paperwork to ensure that you will not receive a final grade of "F" in a course if you choose not to attend the class once
you are enrolled.

Student Grievance Procedures

Procedures for student grievances are found in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities, of the university’s
Handbook of Operating Procedures.

Course Syllabus Page 7

 In attempting to resolve any student grievance regarding grades, evaluations, or other fulfillments of academic responsibility,
it is the obligation of the student first to make a serious effort to resolve the matter with the instructor, supervisor,
administrator, or committee with whom the grievance originates (hereafter called “the respondent”). Individual faculty
members retain primary responsibility for assigning grades and evaluations. If the matter cannot be resolved at that level, the
grievance must be submitted in writing to the respondent with a copy of the respondent’s School Dean. If the matter is not
resolved by the written response provided by the respondent, the student may submit a written appeal to the School Dean. If
the grievance is not resolved by the School Dean’s decision, the student may make a written appeal to the Dean of Graduate
or Undergraduate Education, and the deal will appoint and convene an Academic Appeals Panel. The decision of the
Academic Appeals Panel is final. The results of the academic appeals process will be distributed to all involved parties.

Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the Dean of Students, where staff members are
available to assist students in interpreting the rules and regulations.

Incomplete Grade Policy

As per university policy, incomplete grades will be granted only for work unavoidably missed at the semester’s end and only
if 70% of the course work has been completed. An incomplete grade must be resolved within eight (8) weeks from the first
day of the subsequent long semester. If the required work to complete the course and to remove the incomplete grade is not
submitted by the specified deadline, the incomplete grade is changed automatically to a grade of F.

Disability Services

The goal of Disability Services is to provide students with disabilities educational opportunities equal to those of their non-
disabled peers. Disability Services is located in room 1.610 in the Student Union. Office hours are Monday and Thursday,
8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday and Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The contact information for the Office of Disability Services is:

The University of Texas at Dallas, SU 22
PO Box 830688
Richardson, Texas 75083-0688
(972) 883-2098 (voice or TTY)
[email protected]

If you anticipate issues related to the format or requirements of this course, please meet with the Coordinator of Disability
Services. The Coordinator is available to discuss ways to ensure your full participation in the course. If you determine that
formal, disability-related accommodations are necessary, it is very important that you be registered with Disability Services
to notify them of your eligibility for reasonable accommodations. Disability Services can then plan how best to coordinate
your accommodations.

It is the student’s responsibility to notify his or her professors of the need for such an accommodation. Disability Services
provides students with letters to present to faculty members to verify that the student has a disability and needs
accommodations. Individuals requiring special accommodation should contact the professor after class or during office
hours.

Religious Holy Days

The University of Texas at Dallas will excuse a student from class or other required activities for the travel to and observance
of a religious holy day for a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property tax under Section 11.20, Tax Code,
Texas Code Annotated.

The student is encouraged to notify the instructor or activity sponsor as soon as possible regarding the absence, preferably in
advance of the assignment. The student, so excused, will be allowed to take the exam or complete the assignment within a
reasonable time after the absence: a period equal to the length of the absence, up to a maximum of one week. A student who
notifies the instructor and completes any missed exam or assignment may not be penalized for the absence. A student who
fails to complete the exam or assignment within the prescribed period may receive a failing grade for that exam or
assignment.

If a student or an instructor disagrees about the nature of the absence [i.e., for the purpose of observing a religious holy day]
or if there is similar disagreement about whether the student has been given a reasonable time to complete any missed
assignments or examinations, either the student or the instructor may request a ruling from the chief executive officer of the

 institution, or his or her designee. The chief executive officer or designee must take into account the legislative intent of TEC
51.911(b), and the student and instructor will abide by the decision of the chief executive officer or designee.

These descriptions and timelines are subject to change at the discretion of the Professor.
