# MATH 2200 — Fall 2026 Master Pacing Calendar

**Coordinator master. All 6 sections follow this pace and depth** (Roles of the
Coordinator). Dates come from `coordinator/shared/fall2026-calendar.md` (official CSUB
calendar). Topic sequence follows the MATH 2200 master syllabus (OpenIntro 4th).

**How to read this:** each *week* has two 100-minute sessions. MoWe and TuTh sections
get their own dates below. "HW" = that week's suggested homework, listed for **practice
only — homework is not graded and not collected**. "Graded In-Class" marks the
**graded in-class assignment** for that week (~7–8 across the term, roughly every two
weeks, 25% of the grade combined with labs — materials in `coordinator/math2200/inclass/`,
files `icNN_wkNN*`); weeks without a graded slot still may run an ungraded in-class
activity from the same folder. "Quiz" = end-of-chapter in-class quiz; graded events are
identical across sections.

**Holiday hits:** MoWe loses **Mon 9/7 (Labor Day)**, **Wed 11/11 (Veterans Day)**,
**Wed 11/25 (no class)** → 28 sessions. TuTh loses **Thu 11/26 (Thanksgiving)** → 29
sessions. Where a MoWe session is lost, that week's second topic is carried by the
remaining session or rolled per the notes; content targets stay identical.

**Legend:** ★ = graded major event (exam or graded in-class assignment). Strikethrough =
holiday/no-class. Chapter-quiz numbering follows OpenIntro chapters, given at the *end*
of that chapter's coverage. Graded in-class assignments land in Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,
14 (7 slots, ~every two weeks); all other weeks' `icNN` files run as ungraded in-class
practice at the instructor's discretion.

## Assessment schedule summary
- **Homework:** HW1–HW13, one per week (Wk1–13) — **practice only, not graded, not
  collected** (syllabus policy). Each week still ships in 3 parallel forms (A/B/C) for
  students who want extra practice.
- **Graded in-class assignments (25%, combined with labs):** ~7–8 slots across the term,
  approximately every two weeks — **Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14** — drawn from the
  existing `coordinator/math2200/inclass/` materials (`ic02`, `ic04`, `ic06`, `ic08`,
  `ic10`, `ic12`, `ic14`). Weeks 6 and 14 fall in exam weeks; the graded in-class
  assignment runs in the non-exam session. The `icNN` files for non-graded weeks (1, 3,
  5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15) remain available for ungraded in-class practice.
- **Chapter quizzes (20%):** 8 in-class quizzes (Ch 1–8), ≤20% MC, show-work. Ch 9 is
  preview only (not quizzed).
- **Exams (35%, 17.5% each):** Exam 1 (Wk 6, Ch 1–4), Exam 2 (Wk 14, Ch 5–8). 5 parallel
  forms authored for each. **No comprehensive final exam** — Project 2 (the final
  project) is completed and presented in Week 15 in its place.
- **Labs:** Lab 1–7 as marked (group, in-class); now counted inside the 25%
  graded-in-class/labs bucket rather than as a separate "assignments" line.
- **Projects:** Project 1 (individual, 10%) — proposal Wk 5, write-up Wk 8. Project 2
  (group of 2–3, 10%, the **final project**) — proposal Wk 14, write-up + presentation
  Wk 15, in place of a comprehensive final exam.

## Notes for instructors (uniformity)
- Chi-square (6.3–6.4) is included in Week 9 so CLO 5 (Chi-square test for independence)
  is met and appears on Exam 2 — the master syllabus folds it in around inference.
- If your **MoWe** section loses a session to a holiday, prioritize the first topic
  listed for that week; the second is covered the next session. Do **not** skip a quiz or
  exam — move it to the nearest meeting and notify the coordinator.
- **No comprehensive final exam:** per the coordinator's updated grading policy (2026-08),
  Project 2 (the final project, Week 15) replaces the comprehensive final. Do **not**
  schedule a Week-16 final exam session; if a student needs a true make-up (e.g., a missed
  Exam 2 under documented emergency), use the registrar's final-exam block as the venue,
  but do not present it to the class as a standing comprehensive final.
- **Graded in-class assignments:** run `icNN_wkNN` from `coordinator/math2200/inclass/`
  in class during Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and collect them that session — these are
  the 25% graded component (with labs); all other weeks' `icNN` materials are optional
  ungraded practice.
