AIMS & OBJECTIVES

The main objective of the course is to make a refresh the college mathematics background of the students The topics will be supported by selected applications.

GENERAL LEARNING OUTCOMES (COMPETENCES)
On successful completion of this course, all students will have developed knowledge and understanding of:
-Basic algebraic operations on numbers and expressions
-Linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic functions
-Limits, and continuity of functions
-Derivatives
-Integrals
On successful completion of this course, all students will have developed their skills in:
-Basic algebraic operations on sets of numbers, mainly integer, and real numbers
-Fractions, Ratio, Proportion
-Mathematical expressions and operations
-Area and volume of solid objects
-Limit evaluations, and continuity check
-Finding derivatives by rules
-Locating and identifying critical points and their natures
-Integrals and rules
-Finding areas under a curve and/or between two curves
On successful completion of this course, all students will have developed their appreciation of and respect for values and attitudes regarding the issues of:
-Willingness to work independently to solve problems
-Willingness to reach extra information about the topics (library and/or internet)
-Plagiarism and cheating
GRADING CRITERIA
A
(Excellent)
~85% and above / Excellent understanding of the concepts and the principles as demonstrated by correct and accurate knowledge and application of theory/laws in solving problems. Response to problems is clear, legible, concise and accurate. Excellent performance.
(Good)
~70% and above
70-74:B, 75-79:B+, 80-84:A- / Better than average understanding of the concepts and the principles as demonstrated by correct and accurate knowledge and application of theory/laws in solving problems, but doesn't have the depth and outstanding quality of an "A". Response to problems is fairly clear, legible, but occasionally contains some inaccuracies. Performance exceeds the minimum requirements
(Average)
~60 % and above
60-62:C, 63-65:C+, 66-69:B- / An average understanding of the concepts and the principles as demonstrated by reasonably correct knowledge and application of theory/laws in solving problems, but doesn't have any depth. Response to problems is reasonably clear, legible, but contains inaccuracies. It reveals a sufficient understanding of the material, but lacks depth in understanding and approach/application. Content and form don't go beyond basic expectations and/or display some substantial errors. Acceptable but non-exceptional performance that doesn't go beyond the minimum requirements.
(Barely sufficient)
~50% and above
50-52:D, 53-55:D+, 56-59:C- / Minimal knowledge and barely sufficient understanding of the concepts and the principles as demonstrated by approximately correct application of theory/laws in solving problems. Response to problems is not very clear and is barely legible, and contains many inaccuracies. It reveals a minimum (confused) understanding of the material, and lacks depth in understanding and approach/application. Content and form do not adequately meet the basic expectations, and/or display significant errors. Performance demonstrates severe problems in one or more areas.
(Fail)
Below 50%
0-34:F, 35-49:D- / Work does not meet the most minimal standards. It reveals no understanding of the material, lack of basic academic skills and knowledge, or completely incomprehensible writing. Performance is not acceptable
NG
nil grade / Conditions that might lead to NG grade.
Totally absent in classes and exams
RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER COURSES
The methods mentioned in the course will help the students to understand the discussions and comments in other courses about medicine.
LEARNING / TEACHING METHOD
Reading and analysing lecture notes, class discussions, extra works on assigned exercises, quizzes and tutorials.
ASSIGNMENTS
Extra problem sheets can be provided to the students for their practice addition to the exercises assigned in the classes.
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Midterm examination I 25%
Midterm Examination II 25%
Final Exam 50%
ATTENDANCE
Attendance is required. Students are responsible not only for the material presented and discussed, but also for any announcements made in class. Poor attendance may result NG grade
TEXTBOOK/S
No Specific textbook.

PLAGIARISM
Individual accountability for all individual work, written or oral. Copying from others or providing answers or information, written or oral, to others is cheating. Providing proper acknowledgment of original author. Copying from another student’s paper or from another text without written acknowledgement is plagiarism. According to University’s bylaws cheating and plagiarism are serious offences resulting in a failure from exam or project and disciplinary action (which includes an official warning may appear in student’s transcript or/and suspension from University for up to one semester).
ANY OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION (SUCH AS STUDIO RULES, MAKE-UP EXAMS, STUDENTS’ RESPONSIBILITIES, EQUIPMENT OR MATERIAL NEEDED, SITE TRIPS, ETC.)
Attendance is compulsory. Students with poor attendance and not attended the exams will receive NG grade.
A make-up exam will be given for the missed midterm examination.
