TEXTBOOK: Calculus by Stewart
HOMEWORK: I expect that you carefully review on the textbook what has
been explained during the lectures, and that you work out the homework problems
assigned at the end of each lecture. Homework problems will not be collected,
but they will be discussed in class. You homework is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
OF YOUR LEARNING PROCESS.
The purpose of the homework problems is to allow you to verify your
understanding, and work out some representative examples of what you will be
asked to solve in class. Therefore, it is extremely important that you carefully
work out the homework problems if you want to do well in the class. Please,
notice that MANY OF THE EXAMS AND QUIZ PROBLEMS WILL BE either
PICKED UP DIRECTLY FROM THE HOMEWORK PROBLEMS, or very similar to them.
- EXAMINATIONS:
There will be a weakly short quiz (about 10/15 min) every THURSDAY
with questions coming directly from the homework problems.
There will be 3 midterm exams on:
Thursday,
SEPTEMBER 13; Thursday, OCTOBER 18; Thursday, NOVEMBER 15.
The FINAL EXAM
is on Monday, DECEMBER 17 from 10:30a to 12:30p
(IT WILL NOT BE IN THE REGULAR CLASSROOM! )
GRADING: You will be allowed to drop to worst 2 scores from the weakly quizzes.
The weakly quizzes (after dropping the worst two scores)
will count 20% towards the final grade.
Each midterm exam will count 15% and the final exam will count
35% towards the final grade. The final grade will be assigned according to the
following scheme:
A: 88-100, B: 75-87, C: 62-74, D: 49-61, F: 0-48.
For those taking the course Pass/Fail, Pass will be equivalent to a grade D
or better.
- MAKE-UP EXAMS: No make-ups exams will be given.
Excused absences from any of these tests must be obtained from myself prior to
the examination. Unexcused absence from an exam will result in a score of zero
on that
exam.
