Assignments that are not submitted will receive-1 points.  \n❼ Quality time spent in study for their math course (computed as quality time = time in \\# of hrs * quality rating/4; where quality rating is given on a scale of 1 to 4) ✕ 20 pts  \n(average for a 3-credit course 8 hrs = A-, 7 hrs = B-, 6 hrs = C-;  \naverage for a 4-credit course 11 hrs = A-, 9 hrs = B-, 7 hrs = C-)  \n❼ Time spent reviewing previous material in their math course ✕ 5 pts  \n(average 0.75 hr = A-, 0.65 hr = B-, 0.5 hr = C-)  \n❼ Number of practice problems completed during study for their math course ✕ 20 pts  \n(average for a 3-credit course 35 = A-, 30 = B-, 21 = C-;  \naverage for a 4-credit course 45 = A-, 40 = B-, 28 = C-)  \n❼ Accuracy of practice problems completed during study for their math course ✕ 10 pts  \n(average for a 3-credit course 14 = A-, 12 = B-, 9 = C-;  \naverage for a 4-credit course 18 = A-, 15 = B-, 12 = C-)  \n** Point assignments are subject to change.  \nCourse Evaluation  \nAll course/assignment grades are based on the evaluation of the work communicated by the student. You will maintain the study log (see the provided Excel spreadsheet) to document your study e✛orts. You will post the Excel ✜le (and keep it updated) in your personal MS Teams channel, so that your professor can keep track of your progress.  \nThis is a 0 credit, pass/fail course. A pass will require a course grade of at least 70% .  \nO✣ce Hours  \nO✣ce hour appointments can be made using the Calendly site (appointments may be made up to two weeks in advance), [h","cbCaicYr2KAVpSnR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicYr2KAVpSnR","pdf",131093,"English","# Course Description\n# Course Context\n# Course Goals\n# Course Objectives\n# Course Requirements\n# Course Evaluation\n# Office Hours\n# General Policies\n## Deportment\n## Emergencies During Class\n## Absences\n## Late Policy","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of MA 199-02 Intro to Math?\",\"answer\":\"It is a weekly seminar for first-year mathematics and actuarial science students focused on foundational techniques that improve learning of both applied and theoretical mathematics and enhance first-year course performance.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the course grade determined in this pass/fail class?\",\"answer\":\"Grades are based on written assignments tied to Actuarial Exam Tactics, quality study time using a defined formula, time reviewing previous material, number of practice problems completed, and accuracy on those problems; the course requires at least 70% to pass.\"},{\"question\":\"What do students need to do to document and track their study efforts?\",\"answer\":\"Students must maintain a study log in a provided Excel spreadsheet, post the Excel file and keep it updated in their personal MS Teams channel so the professor can track progress.\"}]","Ma 199-02 - Intro to Math Spring Semester 2025-26 | PDF",1790494204]
