ANNOUNCEMENTS: COURSE DETAILS: Lecturer: Dr. Ho, Diep, PhD [email protected] (Tel. 0946 317 379, Room A1.305) Should the students wish to meet the staff outside the consultation hours, they are advised to make appointment in advance. Course Aims: The course will provide students with an understanding of fundamental mathematical techniques and methods to business context and management decision making. More specifically, the course will introduce the basic theory and concepts of Calculus, Linear Algebra and Optimization, with applications to management, economics, finance. Included topics are Mathematical Functions, Vectors and Matrices, Differentiation and Integration, Linear Programming. The course is useful for all BA students. Prerequisite course: Units of Credit: This course is worth 3 credits. Teaching times and Locations: Academic Integrity: Integrity is critical to the learning process and to all that we do here at HCMIU. A student’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Attendance: Regular and punctual attendance at lectures and seminars is expected in this course. University regulations indicate that if students attend less than eighty per cent of scheduled classes they may be refused final assessment. Exemptions may only be made on medical grounds. While we do not penalise occasional tardiness, a pattern of repeated unexplained late arrivals and non-attendance shall negatively impact the student's class participation grade. Understandably, job search or other obligations may occasionally conflict with class. It is each student’s responsibility to find out from his/her classmates what has been missed during the absence. Assessment Details: The final grade is computed as follows: Attendance 10% Mid-Term Exam (One Hour) 30% Quiz / Assignment 20% Final Exam (Two Hours) 40% Total 100% In addition, since I wish to emphasize practical skills, students shall complete an assignment that use actual data--and to reflect how most companies conduct business, students shall form groups to handle these assignments. Groups shall comprise three to five students – no less, no more. In addition, all group members shall score their team mates on how well they have contributed to the assignment (see "Peer Group Participation Form.doc" in the file cabinet section). Class participation is important and will be explicitly rewarded (5% of the total grade). Effectively, the class participation grade may change a grade near a cutoff. While we do not penalise occasional tardiness, a pattern of repeated unexplained late arrivals and non-attendance shall negatively impact the class participation grade. Understandably, job search or other obligations may occasionally conflict with class. It is each student’s responsibility to find out from his/her classmates what has been missed during the absence.
