Course Objectives

We will cover chapters 1-3 and and least half of chapters 4 and 5 of Complex Variables, 2nd ed. sby Stephen Fisher


Course Expectations

Prerequisite: Calculus III

 

Grading:  There will be homework assignments.  Your best 20 scores will count.  In other words, you should turn in homework twice each week, but you can blow off your homework once every 2 weeks and you’ll be ok.  More than that and it will start to hurt your grade.  There will be 2 midterm exams and a final exam.  The weighting is as follows:

           

            Best 20 homeworks @ 24                   480

            Two midterm exams @ 80                  160

            Final exam                                           160

            Total                                                    800

 

Grades will be assigned from this figure by the usual method: 90% for an A, 80 % for a B, etc.

Submission Format Policy

When you turn an assignment in you should put your name on each page and clearly indicate which assignment it is at the top of the first page.  Do not fold your paper; turn it in flat. If you turn an assignment in during a class meeting, plan to have your graded work returned at the following class meeting.  



Note: You may not submit a paper for a grade in this class that already has been (or will be) submitted for a grade in another course, unless you obtain the explicit written permission of me and the other instructor involved in advance.

Late Paper Policy

There are no due dates, but each particular assignment will have a closing date, i.e. the last day that it can be turned in for credit.  Typically the closing date for an assignment will be the first day that graded work for that assignment is returned to some student that has done it. 


Plagiarism Policy Plagiarism is the use of someone else's thoughts, words, ideas, or lines of argument in your own work without appropriate documentation (a parenthetical citation at the end and a listing in "Works Cited")-whether you use that material in a quote, paraphrase, or summary. It is a theft of intellectual property and will not be tolerated, whether intentional or not.

Student Honor Creed

As an MSU Student, I pledge not to lie, cheat, steal, or help anyone else do so."

As students at MSU, we recognize that any great society must be composed of empowered, responsible citizens. We also recognize universities play an important role in helping mold these responsible citizens. We believe students themselves play an important part in developing responsible citizenship by maintaining a community where integrity and honorable character are the norm, not the exception. Thus, We, the Students of Midwestern State University, resolve to uphold the honor of the University by affirming our commitment to complete academic honesty. We resolve not only to be honest but also to hold our peers accountable for complete honesty in all university matters. We consider it dishonest to ask for, give, or receive help in examinations or quizzes, to use any unauthorized material in examinations, or to present, as one's own, work or ideas which are not entirely one's own. We recognize that any instructor has the right to expect that all student work is honest, original work. We accept and acknowledge that responsibility for lying, cheating, stealing, plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty fundamentally rests within each individual student. We expect of ourselves academic integrity, personal professionalism, and ethical character. We appreciate steps taken by University officials to protect the honor of the University against any who would disgrace the MSU student body by violating the spirit of this creed. Written and adopted by the 2002-2003 MSU Student Senate.

Students with Disabilities The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the Disability Support Services in Room 168 of the Clark Student Center, 397-4140.

Safe Zones Statement The professor considers this classroom to be a place where you will be treated with respect as a human being - regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, political beliefs, age, or ability. Additionally, diversity of thought is appreciated and encouraged, provided you can agree to disagree. It is the professor's expectation that ALL students consider the classroom a safe environment.

Contacting your Instructor All instructors in the Department have voicemail in their offices and MWSU e-mail addresses. Make sure you add your instructor's phone number and e-mail address to both email and cell phone lists of contacts.

Attendance Requirements

Please come to class.  It makes me very happy when my students show up to class on time.  In the event that you should need to miss a class or be late to class, you should inform me in writing in a timely fashion.  Any student with more than 4 unreported absences who is not maintaining a passing average is subject to being dropped from the course. 


Other Policies

All students should refer to the current MSU Student Handbook and Activities Calendar for university policies related to class attendance, academic dishonesty, student responsibilities, rights and activities.
