2. To report an emergency, call 911. To obtain updates regarding an ongoing emergency, sign up for Purdue Alert text messages, view www.purdue.edu/ea.www.purdue.edu/ea. There are nearly 300 Emergency Telephones outdoors across campus and in parking garages that connect directly to the PUPD. If you feel threatened or need help, push the button and you will be connected immediately. If we hear a fire alarm during class we will immediately suspend class, evacuate the building, and proceed outdoors. Do not use the elevator. If we are notified during class of a Shelter in Place requirement for a tornado warning, we will suspend class and shelter in the basement or the lowest floor.

3. What is IMPACT?  A flipped classroom approach to learning calculus  Students watch lectures online (this is why you have an independent study)  This is important to succeed!  IMPACT Session Thursdays: Work in groups on IMPACT problems, do group presentations  Recitation WF: Go over questions from homework due the previous night, look at old exam problems (time permitting), and take a quiz  Same homework as regular MA 161 sections  Same exams as regular MA 161 sections

4. Exams  There will be three midterm exams:  Exam 1: Thursday, Sept 22, 8:00 pm.  Exam 2: Thursday, Oct 20, 8:00 pm.  Exam 3: Monday, Nov 14, 8:00 pm.  Locations of exams TBA  Date, time, location of final exam: TBD by the registrar  Make sure to check the course calendar regularly!

9. Course calendar  Check it regularly!  Gives information on lessons you should be watching, when homework is due, when the quizzes are and what lessons they cover, when exams are, etc.  Notice: You have homework for lessons 1 and 2 due Thursday evening  It is best to start your homework due Thursdays before the IMPACT session Thursday mornings  This Friday you have a quiz, but it is extra credit, so you don’t need to prepare for it

10. IMPACT Problem Set Grading  For every Thursday session, you will get an IMPACT problem set to work on in groups.  Every individual student will submit a write up of solutions for the IMPACT problems at the next IMPACT session  Each IMPACT problem set is worth 4 points (weighted the same as exam points)  Each problem set, one problem will be selected and graded for correctness (2 points)  The rest of the assignment will be graded for completion (2 points)  2 points if all problems are done, 1 point if all but a couple are done, 0 otherwise  This is course policy

11. Presentation Grading  Most IMPACT sessions, every group will present a problem from the previous week’s IMPACT problem set to the recitation instructor (not the whole class)  Your groups will receive their presentation assignment by Friday (posted on my personal webpage)  The problem will have several steps, and each student is expected to participate  Presentations are worth 3 IMPACT points (weighted the same as exam pts)  Students in the group must be prepared to present the problem from memory – no notes allowed  Students must be prepared to present the problem quickly and thoroughly (not every detail must be spelled out – if I want more details, I’ll ask for more)  If a student is not adequately prepared for the presentation (including taking too long to complete their part of the problem), the group will lose 1 point.  It is advised that groups communicate outside of class to agree upon a solution to their presentation problem.  All group members receive the same grade for the presentation, unless a group member is not there to present, in which case that group member receives a 0 (unless they are excused).

12. Showing Work and Explaining  On all work done in Purdue math classes, you are expected to show work. The next slide gives an example of a problem with a bad solution (in terms of work) and a good solution (in terms of work)  This goes for quizzes and IMPACT problem sets  On IMPACT problems, you are often asked to explain something. The following slide gives an example of a bad explanation and a good explanation.  Please be clear and explain thoroughly.  If you are having trouble with an “Explain” problem during an IMPACT session, please ask! These problems are some of the most important for mastery of the course content.
