Students should be able to solve problems what involve giving proofs in the differential calculus. They should be able to present examples and counterexamples illustrating the relationship between various notions of the derivative. They should be able to state and solve problems that involve sets of content zero and measure zero. They should be able to use Fubini's theorem to evaluate certain multi-variable integrals. They should understand and be able to use partitions of unity and plateau functions in evaluating improper integrals and to use the change of variables theorem correctly. They should be able to use Green's, Gauss's, and Stokes's theorem to evaluate multi-variable integrals, to examine conservation laws, and to invent new verbs such as "concretize".
Rubric for pure courses:
Many courses combine pure and applied elements and the rubrics for those courses will have some combination of elements from the two rubrics above. Detailed interpretation of the rubrics depends on the content and level of the course and will be at the discretion of instructors. Whether to award grades of A+ is at the discretion of instructors.
This action clarifies and extends earlier faculty legislation (1911 Faculty Assembly archives) prohibiting the giving of final examinations earlier than officially scheduled.
In addition, you should be aware of the Faculty Advisory CouncilÕs statement on students with multiple exams:
Examination schedules are listed each term in the Time Schedule. Students who are scheduled to take more than three examinations within one calendar day may take the additional examination(s) as makeup examination(s) later in the examination week. The instructor(s) of record for the course(s) beyond the third examination, counting in the order the examination(s) are scheduled, will arrange for (a) makeup examination(s).
The following procedures were approved by the Undergraduate Council to address rare circumstances of competing exam times. Students with examination conflicts may contact the Office of Academic Advising for assistance.
In the case of two examinations scheduled at the same time, the course with the largest enrollment must provide an alternate examination. For conflicts between regular courses and combined examinations, the combined examination course must provide the alternate examination. For combined examinations with conflicts, the largest combined enrollment course must provide the alternative examination.
Questions and concerns regarding this policy should be directed first to the relevant instructor, then the department head, and finally the dean if necessary. You may also find reference to the policy on the Academic Affairs website. If additional input is needed, please contact srviceprovost@uoregon.edu.
