6 Textbook
The prescribed textbook for MAA00A1 is

Introductory Mathematical Analysis for Business, Economics, and the Life and Social

ISBN number: 978-0-13-414110-7

7 Lectures and Tutorials

7.1 Lectures
The lectures and tutorials are conducted according to groups, depending on the qualifi-
cation for which you are registered. There are seven lecture groups, K through to Q, and
eight tutorial groups, K through to R.
6
7.2 Tutorials
The saying “mathematics is not a spectator sport” should always be remembered. You
will not learn if you only attend lectures. We learn mathematics by solving problems.

Each week a list of problems (from the textbook) will be posted on Blackboard. Your
work (in addition to attending lectures) is to do as many of these problems as possible.
We learn very little by watching someone else solve a mathematics problem. We learn
only when we struggle through solving a problem by ourselves.

You must attempt the problems in advance to be able to ask questions about things
you did not understand. Note that tutors are themselves students, in at least their sec-
ond year of their study, so they may be unable to answer all your questions. In such an
instance, you may ask one of the lecturers (in the venue or via email).

If you need feedback on attempted problems, you can contact a tutor (via the Math-
ematics Learning Center) or a lecturer (via email). We will attempt to get an answer
back to you within 72 hours (assuming we are not flooded with queries).

Each weekend you will also have a Webwork assignment to complete. These Webwork
assignments will open on Thursday evenings (18h00) and close on Tuesday mornings
(08h00). There will be no sick tests for missed Webwork assignments. The marks for
these assessments will contribute towards your semester mark, which in turn contributes
to your final mark. Note that tutorial attendance is compulsory, and a register will be
taken.

8 Tutors - Mathematics Learning Centre

There are tutors (mostly senior students doing honours, masters and PhD studies) in
the Mathematics Learning Centre (MLC), located within the second corridor of the De-
partment of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, C-Ring 5. Their services are free of
charge, and this centre is open Monday to Friday from 08h00 to 15h30.

9 Semester Programme
We will follow the following programme during the semester. Minor changes may be
made to it, thus, make sure that you always have the latest copy of this document (see
Table 2). Should any changes be made to it, communication will be made to that effect.
The scope for each Webwork assignment is the content covered in the previous week’s
lecture.

10 Assessment
Note that all assessments are to be held on campus, and you must make sure that you
avail yourself at the dates listed in the schedule and assessment table (See Table 3). The
dates for the semester tests are highlighted in the semester programme. We will sum-
marise the contents of each semester test here.

The scope of each sick test corresponds to that of the respective test. The scope of
the examination is the entire course content.

11 Procedure for Application for Sick Test

An application request for a special assessment opportunity (sick test) must be submitted
to the department to Ms Elize van der Linden (elizevdl@uj.ac.za) within 7 calendar
days after the assessment has been written. The outcome of your application will be
communicated to you via Blackboard. The application form can be found on the last
page of this study guide. Valid reasons for writing the special assessment include:
ˆ Being sick to the extent that you are not able to write (the original medical certifi-
cate must be included as proof); or
ˆ Prior application (with conformation from the sport bureau or cultural office) for
participation in provincial, national or international sports or cultural events; or
ˆ The death of a close family member or friend (a copy of the death certificate or
funeral letter must be included as proof); or
ˆ Other excuses deemed acceptable by the lecturer.
9
Students who have already started with an assessment opportunity or signed the atten-
dance register may not apply for a special assessment opportunity. No special assessment
opportunity will be granted for missed special assessment opportunities. This applies to
semester tests only.

12 Public and University Holidays

13 Passing the Module

To pass the module, you must first of all qualify to write the examination. This is achieved
by getting a minimum of 40% semester mark.

The semester mark (SM/FPM), will be made up of the following:

Semester Mark = 25% Webwork + 75% (Semester Test 1 + Semester Test 2)

If your semester mark is less than 40%, you have automatically failed the module.

The Final Mark (FM) will be calculated as follows:

Final Mark = 50% Semester Mark (SM) + 50% Examination Mark (EM).

You are deemed to have passed if the following marks have been obtained:
10
 ˆ last summative assessment mark (Examination Mark) of at least 40%; and

ˆ a final mark of at least 50%. (This means that if you obtain a final mark of 50%
but have not met the 40% requirement for the examination mark, you will fail the
module. You will qualify for a supplementary examination in such a case).

14 Supplementary Examination
The Assessment Committee or a senior administrative officer of a faculty/college (in this
case Faculty of Science) in which the module resides may grant a student a supplementary
last summative assessment(Supplementary Examination) opportunity if:

ˆ the student failed a module but obtained a final mark of at least 40%; or

ˆ the student failed a module but obtained a semester/year mark of at least 60%.

The final mark of the module is capped at 50%. Note that the semester mark is still
used for the final mark calculation. Observe also that the department plays no role in
the granting of supplementary examinations.

15 Special Last Summative Assessment/Examination

Special summative assessment opportunities are considered by the faculty/college in
which the programme/qualification resides, for students who, in the event of illness,
for compassionate reasons, on religious grounds or for similar legitimate reasons, were
prevented from attending a summative assessment opportunity.

Students may be granted a special summative assessment opportunity if they apply for it
within seven calendar days after the original date of the relevant summative assessment
opportunity. The Executive Dean or his/her delegated authority, in consultation with
the relevant HOD, considers all applications and decides whether or not to grant the
special summative assessment opportunity. The Faculty/College Board determines the
procedure for and manner of such application in accordance with University procedure.
Note that the application is to be done at the Faculty of Science (C-Ring 2). Again the
department plays no role here.

The Assessment Committee or the Executive Dean or his/her delegated authority of

a faculty/college in which the qualification resides may grant a student a supplemen-
tary last summative assessment opportunity, if the student requires not more than the
equivalent of two semester modules or one year module for the completion of the relevant
qualification, provided that the student:
(a) was registered for the relevant module in the current academic year; and
(b) was admitted to, and participated in the last assessment opportunity in the relevant
module; and
(c) has complied with all the experiential or practical requirements prescribed for the
qualification (where applicable), excluding work-integrated modules.

The Executive Dean or his/her delegated authority of the faculty/ college in which the

11
qualification resides may, in exceptional circumstances and in consultation with the Ex-
ecutive Dean of the faculty/college, in which the particular modules reside, waive one or
more of the conditions specified in (c).

16 Academic Integrity
Any form of academic dishonesty is taken extremely seriously by the University. The
following is an extract from the Student Ethics and Judicial Services summary:

Students should take special notice of the importance with which the University regards
academic integrity. A student who is found guilty of a transgression relating to academic
dishonesty (for example possessing notes during a test or examination or plagiarising an
assignment) may face a penalty that ranges from cancellation of the module in which the
transgression was committed to permanent expulsion from the University. The full set of
student regulations can be found here:

https://www.uj.ac.za/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/final-academic-r egulations-2022.pdf

17 Plagiarism
Students must make themselves aware of the definition of plagiarism. The full University
plagiarism policy can be found in the full set of regulations above.
