There will be exams on 2/11, 2/26, 3/12, 4/14, and 4/29. Exams will include computational problems and conceptual problems. Your lowest exam grade will not be counted. There is a comprehensive final exam on Wednesday, 5/14 at 2:00. Don't make flight arrangements or other plans that will require you to take an alternate exam. Those who do will lose a letter grade on their exam.
HomeworkDoing homework regularly is essential to learning the
material. Homework is due at the beginning of class. Late homework will
not be accepted.
Essays cover a number of the concepts at
the heart of calculus. Essays must be typed, double-spaced,
and handed in separately from regular homework. They will be graded
on the basis of the
quality of your writing as well as content. They should address the
question concisely, in about a page. Essays must not exceed two
pages. For more information, click on the link:
About Writing Essays
While I encourage you to work with others, all collaboration must be acknowledged. If you got help from a friend on a problem, indicate this by writing "with help from" or "worked with" followed by the name of the person you spoke to. If you got help from the math lab on a problem, you can just write "with help from math lab". While you may work with others to figure out problems, be sure to write up the problem set you'll be handing in independently.
Time CommitmentIt is normal to spend 10-12 hours weekly outside of class.
