4 Lectures
In 2024 we are infusing traditional teaching with a flipped classroom model.
This means lecture videos will be posted on iKamva and they will be explained
by the lecturer in class.

Lecturer: Prof E Mwambene

Tuesday 10:20 - 11:05 (Period 3); Venue: N7 CAMS.
Wednesday 10:20 - 11:05 (Period 3); Venue: WEDNESDAY Period 3 A2 EDU-
CATION & A BLOCK.
Friday 9:25 - 10:10(Period 2); Venue: FRIDAY PERIOD 2 SC5 NEW SCI-
ENCE.

Students are expected to go through these videos and understand the concepts
before the tutorial classes (live Q& A sessions) held at:

Lecturer: Dr. Divine Tawe Tarla 3921379@[Link]

Tuesday 14:00 - 15:00 (Period 6-8); Venue: TBA

In the case of emergencies we shall resort to online iKamva BBB classes (live
Q& A sessions):

Tuesday 10:20 - 11:05 (Period 3)

Wednesday 10:20 - 11:05 (Period 3)
Friday 9:25 - 10:10 (Period 2)

The live Q&A classes will be recorded and focus on how to apply the con-
cepts to questions.

Note that UWC law requires a minimum of 70% teaching and learning
must still be face-to-face.

5 Announcement
Announcements will usually be made in the lectures and iKamva.

 9 CONSULTING HOURS

6 Teaching materials
Lecture notes will be provided. All teaching material will be posted on iKamva.

7 Assignments
Weekly take home assignments accompanied with lecture videos. Assignments
are made available online on a weekly basis for download and revision purposes
prior to the next tutorial session.

Class tests and exam questions will be based upon the take home
assignments.

8 Tutorials
There is one 2 12 hour tutorials per week held by Dr Divine Tawe Tarla:

Tuesday 14:00 - 16:15 (Period 6-8)

The weekly assignment problems should be attempted before the relevant tu-
torial for you to get the most out of the tutorials.

Attendance at all tutorials (practicals) is compulsory. In the event of a stu-

dent being absent without prior notice to the lecturer, the student must inform
Dr. Divine Tawe Tarla of the reason for his/her absence as soon as possible.
In the case of medical reasons for the absence, a medical certificate needs to be
submitted within 5 academic days of the missed tutorial. Failure to comply will
result in the student having an incomplete class record.

9 Consulting hours
Prof Eric Mwambene will offer face-to-face consultations in his office

Monday Lunch Period : 1:00PM - 1: 45 PM

Professor Eric has the freedom to schedule as he wishes. He will communi-

cate via iKamva.

You are welcome to write me an email any time. However, if I did not manage
to reply immediately, I will do so within next 48 hours. If your queries are of
general nature and applicable to entire class, I will post a collective response on
the course website.

 12 ASSESSMENT AND RELATED MATTERS

10 Email correspondence
The subject for all email correspondences will begin with:

M AT 105 ă StudentN umber ąă Subject ą .

For example: MAT 105 3735438 MARK QUERY.

Please adhere to this convention because MAT105 is a big group and lectur-
ing team will filter the emails through these types of searches. Hence, if your
subject line does not involve MAT105 and your student number, the team might
miss to respond to your email timeously.

11 TEACHING AND LEARNING APPROACH

The course MAT 105 is a problem solving course. Therefore the assignments
that are accompanied with lecture videos are the focal point. The assignments
also have hints and guides. Tutorials is the place to ask for help to solve the
questions. Class tests and exams will be based on the assignment questions.
One of the things to learn in university is how to cope with the speed. High
School teaches you in a linear forward way: first master A, then master B and
then you can understand C. University teaches you backward learning: Start at
C and then work yourself backward to what you may need from A and B; you
may not need all of A or all of B. Most importantly there is not enough time
to master all of A and B.
It will be tough making adjustments but when you make the adjustments
then this will set you up for good success in university.

12 ASSESSMENT AND RELATED MATTERS

12.1 Scope of the Class Tests and the exam
You will be informed beforehand of the scope of each Class Test and exam.

12.2 Absence from class tests

A re-evaluation will only be considered on medical or compassionate grounds.
In the case of medical reasons for the absence, a medical certificate needs to be
submitted within 5 academic days of the missed term test. Failure to comply
will result in the student having an incomplete class record.

12.3 Calculators
Only non-programmable calculators may be used.

Calculators that can perform differential calculus operations, integral calculus

operations, curve sketching, calculate inverses of matrices will not be allowed in
tests and examinations.

12.4 Class Test dates

These are the provisional test dates:

Class Test 1: Tuesday April 8th.

Class Test 2: Saturday May 10th.

Class Test 3: Tuesday September 9th.

Class Test 4: Saturday October 11th.

These will be confirmed in lectures and on iKamva.

12.5 Submitting your work

You are to hand in your answers to the assignment by the deadline indicated.
Failure to do so will result in a 0.

Upload a scanned copy of your answers to the assignment on the iKamva plat-
form. The submission should be in one single pdf file. Files saved in any other
formats may not be saved/marked. This is the only proof you handed in your
answers. Without this proof your marks cannot be queried.

The physical script is then handed to your tutors for grading.

The purpose of the scanned copy is to protect yourself should there be a situa-
tion where your physical script gets lost.

The head of the tutorial will give you further information.

13 Test queries
File away all your assignments and class tests and semester test.

 14 SEMESTER MARK

14 Semester mark
Each semester mark will be computed with the following weights and provi-
sional dates:

[Year (CA) Mark: Semester 1 & Semester 2]

Assignments: 10%

Tests: 90%

CT1: Class Test 1 : 15%

CT2: Class Test 2 : 15%
JT: June Semester Test: 40%
CT3: Class Test 3 : 15%
CT4: Class Test 4 : 15%

Year mark CA = ( (0.1 * Assignments) + (0.135 * [CT1 + CT2 + CT3 +

CT4]) + (0.36 * JT))

8. Entry requirements for the exam

A minimum year mark CA of 40% is the requirement for admittance to the
examination.

9. Final Mark
Your final mark will be computed as follows:

CA mark: 70%
Examination mark: 30%

To pass the module, a Final mark of at least 50% is required together with
and a sub-minimum of 40% for the examination.

For the Examination mark, you will be writing two papers; the Examination
mark will be the average mark that you will obtain in these papers. It is also
important to note that you will have to write these two papers in the same
session, e.g., the marks for the first paper of the main exam and second paper
of the supplementary exam will not be considered for the average.

Failure to write exam A students record is incomplete unless he/she ap-

plies for re-final exam evaluation based on medical or compassionate grounds.
An application form for a supplementary exam obtainable from the secretary
has to be completed within 5 academic days of the exam. Medical and/other
certificates have to accompany the application.

Supplementary Exam, Special exams and Senate Discretionary Exam

The normal rules (see the calendar book for the rules) apply. Any change in
policy from higher management will be communicated timeously.

June workshop Test June Workshop Test is a make-up test only for stu-
dents who scored below 75% in the June Semester Test. As such the maximum

6
 14 SEMESTER MARK

mark will be 75%. The 5 day on-line workshop and sit-down test is scheduled
for the Supplementary Period of 19th-28th June. The higher mark will replace
the lower mark.

10. General information about class tests and Exams

Information regarding tests and examinations will be communicated to the class

via class announcements and/or e-mail and/or iKamva.

Phone calls requesting information about tests and exams will not be enter-
tained.

Marks will normally be available only 7 academic days after a class test was
written.

Sick tests will be written a week after the class test has been written, or as
decided by the lecturers.

Any queries regarding any assessment must be done within 5 working days.

A list of the students qualifying for the supplementary exams will be posted
on the departmental as well as the class notice boards.

11. Changes

Any changes during the year if absolutely necessary or management commu-

nicates will be communicated to students timeously.
