<span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Course Description: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">In this course we will learn the tools and techniques to solve elementary differential equations. To gain the knowledge to better understand how these equations work and fit into the physical world. <span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;"> Materials Needed: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">You will need the required textbook for this course. Calculators may not be used on quizzes or exams. They are however allowed to be used to complete the homework. <span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;"> Assignments and Exams: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;"> The assignments for this course come straight from the text book. Although I will not be collecting them, they are essential to complete. There will be three exams given throughout the course and a comprehensive final. <span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;"> Grading Scale: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">90-100% A 80-86% B 70-76% C 60-66% D 0-58% F <span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;"> Make-up Policy: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">Students may make up an exam if they present an official documentation accepted by UCF and it must be brought to my attention within one week from the missed exam. If the excuse is not valid then a grade of zero will be given. <span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;"> Academic Dishonesty: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 150%;">I expect each student to hold themselves with the highest level of academic integrity. Any form of cheating will result in action from the Universtiy Policy. Refer to the UCF Golden Rule Handbook for further details.
