College Mathematics II

MATH100 — College Mathematics I, 3.0 hours

Description

The goal of this course is to expose students to the relevance of mathematics in the context of everyday ideas across various disciplines while broadening their view of mathematics. Analytical tools and problem skills learned in this course will be beneficial in the real world. Topics include, logic, set and graph theory, probability and statistics, finance, voting theory, geometry, and algebra.

Professor

Professor

Lauren graduated from Marietta College with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a minor in Philosophy. She received her Master of Science from The University of Akron in Applied Mathematics. While completing her Masters research, she worked as a Statistician at American Greetings in Cleveland, Ohio. She also has completed coursework and research towards a Ph.D. in Engineering Applied Mathematics at The University of Akron. While going to school at UA, she was employed as a Graduate Assistant and taught many courses in the Mathematics department. From 2011-2013, Lauren was employed as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at her alma mater, Marietta College. She had the opportunity to teach courses ranging from College Algebra all the way up to Differential Equations.

In 2013, she decided to make a career change and venture into the Insurance industry.

She was employed by Farmers Insurance as a Senior Product Analyst and began coursework in the summer of 2014 on an MBA in Finance from Tiffin University. After leaving Farmers in late 2016 after the birth of her daughter, she decided to return to teaching. She taught at Ventura College in Ventura, California and most recently at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio. Her daughter is almost two years old and Lauren enjoys spending time with family, attending Cleveland Cavaliers games, running, yoga, cooking, gardening, and reading.

Grading Scale

Grading Scale

Graded work will receive a numeric score reflecting the quality of performance as given above in evaluation methods. The maximum number of points a student may earn is 190. To determine the final grade, the student's earned points are divided by 190.

Your overall course grade will be determined according to the following scale:

A = (90% -100%)
B = (80% - 89%)
C = (70% - 79%)
D = (60% - 69%)
F < (Below 60%)

Academic Integrity/ Plagiarism

Academic Integrity/ Plagiarism:

Cheating (dishonestly taking the knowledge of another person whether on a test or an assignment and presenting it as your work) and plagiarism (to take and pass off as one's own the ideas or writing of another) are a serious issue. While it is legitimate to talk to others about your assignments and incorporate suggestions, do not let others "write" your assignments in the name of peer review or "borrow" sections or whole assignments written by others. We do get ideas from life experiences and what we read but be careful that you interpret these ideas and make them your own.

I am aware that many types of assignments are available on the internet and will check these sources when there is legitimate suspicion.

Penalty is a zero on the assignment. In cases where there is a major or continuous breach of trust, further discipline, such as an "F" in the course, may be necessary.

The major consequence of any form of cheating is damage to your character and the result of trust and respect.

Disability Accommodations

Disability Accommodations

Students who may have a disability meriting an academic accommodation should contact Jim Gepperth, the Disabilities Services Coordinator and Academic Dean. For accommodations to be awarded, a student must complete a form and provide documentation of the disability to the Disability Services Coordinator. Any accommodations for disabilities must be re-certified each year by the Disability Services Coordinator before course adjustments are made by individual instructors. Additional information on disability accommodations may be found in the Lakewood University Catalog.
