Prerequisites
See the UBC Calendar entry for Math 102 for course prerequisites. If you do not satisfy the course prerequisites, you may find yourself automatically de-registered from the course once the term begins. The fact that you were able to register does not mean you satisfy the prerequisites.
Marking scheme
- Final exam 50%
- Midterm 20%
- Online WeBWorK homework 15%
- Quizzes 10%
- Written assignments (OSH) 5%
WeBWorK points and the 5% rule: Each problem submitted to WeBWorK is given a point-weight and your total WebWork score will be counted out of 95% of the total number of WeBWork points. Thus, if there are a total of 400 WeBWork points this term, you can get 20 points worths of them wrong and still get the full 15% allocated to WeBWork problems. This is not intended as a point give-away. It is intended to account for the fact that, early in the semester, you will take some time to master using WeBWorK and we do not have the resources to evaluate every request for accommodation for every technical glitch you run into. Any requests for accommodation regarding WeBWorK points due to alleged WeBWorK glitches, computer crashes etc. are by default covered by the 5% rule.
For more information on WeBWorK and OSH assignments, see the Assignments page.
A minimum mark of 44% on the final exam is required to pass the course, independent of all others marks in the course.
