This is the common page for all sections of MATH 104 and Math 184 in Term 1 of the 2012W session (September to December 2012). This page gives the course outline, suggested problems, course policies, other course information, and information on available resources.

There will be common weekly webwork assignments, and these can be accessed on this page. For section specific assignments and information please go to your own section site linked at the bottom of the page.

There will be three examinations (two midterm exams and one final exam), and the exams will be common to all sections of MATH 104/184. See the information below for examination dates. For section-specific information, please contact your instructor.

1. The mark distribution for section specific term work may be scaled based on exam mark distributions of that section. These adjusted term marks would then be used to compute a student's final grade. Any scaling is performed to ensure fairness in the final grades across sections. It is not expected that such scalings would result in significant grade changes.
2. No electronic devices will be allowed at the final examination. This includes calculators, cell phones, music players, and all other such devices. Formula sheets and other memory aids will not be allowed.
3. Missing midterms: If a student misses a midterm, that student shall provide a documented excuse or a mark of zero will be entered for that midterm. Examples of valid excuses are an illness which has been documented by a physician and Student Health Services, or an absence to play a varsity sport (your coach will provide you with a letter). In the case of illness, the physicians note must contain the statement that ``this student was/is physically unfit to attend the examination on the scheduled date". There will be no make-up midterms, and the weight of the missed midterm will be transferred to the final examination. Please note that a student may NOT have 100% of their assessment based on the final examination. A student who has not completed a substantial portion of the term work normally shall not be admitted to the final examination.
4. Missing the Final Exam: You will need to present your situation to the Dean's Office of your Faculty to be considered for a deferred exam. See the Calendar for detailed regulations. Your performance in a course up to the exam is taken into consideration in granting a deferred exam status (e.g. failing badly generally means you won't be granted a deferred exam). In Mathematics, generally students sit the next available exam for the course they are taking, which could be several months after the original exam was scheduled.
5. UBC takes cheating incidents very seriously. After due investigation, students found guilty of cheating on tests and examinations are usually given a final grade of 0 in the course and suspended from UBC for one year. More information.
   
   
6. Note that academic misconduct includes misrepresenting a medical excuse or other personal situation for the purposes of postponing an examination or quiz or otherwise obtaining an academic concession.
