Math Tutoring: Free tutoring is available in the Math. Department in
Room 144, most times between 10:00am and
4:00pm, Monday through Thursday and on Friday mornings.
If it happens that there
is no tutor in the room when you arrive there, see the secretary
in the Math. Dept. Office to find out when the next tutor will be
available.
Examinations: There will two, in-class, midterm exams, on Monday, October 4
and Friday November 19. There will also be three quizzes in the recitation sections
the weeks of September 20, October 18 and November 1.
The
comprehensive final exam will be on Thursday, December 16.
Text Book:
Calculus, Concepts and Contexts. 4th ed., by J. Stewart, Chapters
9-13.
Discussion Sections: There are five discussion sections for this course; You must be enrolled in one of these, and attend the discussion hour every week. In particular, all quizzes will be given during this period.
Grading: In addition to the examinations above, I will assign
homework in each lecture. You are encouraged to
work together with your classmates on the homework problems.
I will occasionally collect homework in the recitation sections - when I
do you will be responsible for turning in all the homework assigned the
previous week. The three quizzes will also be given in the recitation
sections. I will drop the lowest of your three quiz grades when
computing you final grade.
No make-up quizzes will be given - if you miss one of the quizzes
for some reason that grade will be the one that is dropped. Your final grade will be determined
by the following procedure:
Homework and Class participation: 10 %
Quizzes (average of two best): 22 %
Each Midterm: 18 %
Final Exam: 32 %
As a reminder, while you are encouraged to work together on the homework,
you are to rely only on your own ideas and knowledge on the quizzes and exams.
Use of another individual's work, however it is communicated, is not
permitted.
