EVALUATION (Sept. 2025)

NORMALLY Your final grade will be calculated as:

Tutorial attendance: expected but not graded.

4 tests of 50 minutes at a time TBA by your individual instructors. We automatically choose the best 3 out of these 4 tests for a total of 60% of your final mark.

Final multiple choice exam: 40%

Missed tests will be dealt with at a unique predetermined time before the end of term (see accommodations below). Ask your instructor for more details.

1% BONUS:

There is a 1% bonus option available in this course.

To achieve this bonus, you must complete the following by Tuesday September 30 at 11:59 p.m.:

1. Log into Brightspace and select the course “MATH4U Fall 2025” (in the “Fall 2025” term)

2. In the top banner, select “Tools” and then “Quizzes”

3. Select the quiz called “1% Bonus Quiz for Other Science and Engineering” UNLESS you are taking PHYS 1001 or PHYS 1002, then you should instead select the quiz  “1% Bonus for Physics and Engineering Physics”.

4. Complete the quiz to earn your 1%.

 If you do not complete the quiz by the deadline, there is another opportunity to claim your 1% bonus. This will be to set up a mentorship meeting with our Science Student Success Centre. They will contact students directly after the quiz deadline to see if you are interested in setting up a mentorship meeting to claim your 1% bonus.

Notes:

1. If you do not see “MATH4U Fall 2025” in your Fall 2024 courses, please contact mathmatters@carleton.ca and they will work to fix the issue.

2. To get the 1%, you must complete all questions in the quiz, but you will be awarded the 1% regardless of what grade you receive on this quiz. The purpose of the quiz is to help you gauge how prepared you are for this course and to introduce study strategies that should help you in your university courses.

3. If you find you are struggling on the quiz questions, it would be helpful to complete the review in MATH4U and also seek out additional resources such as the Math Tutorial Centre or MS-LAP.

Use of Generative AI in your coursework/tests (is not permitted).
