Schedule for Ma241-003 Fall 2005

Homework and Reading Assigned

It is important to both complete and understand the homework. I encourage you to form study groups, however it is very important that in the end you come to an understanding of the material for yourself. You will most likely find the homework in this course challanging at times, so it is important to begin early and give yourself a chance to talk to others (for example me) before the due date. It is not enough to find the answer, you must be able to justify each step. Imagine that you are writing the solution for a person who doesn't know calculus. On our tests I will expect you to explain your work, presentation and proper notation are arguably as important as the answer itself. In my lectures I strive to present calculations in a coherent and logical manner, I will expect you to do the same. So take so time to notice what the notation means, don't just scribble the bare amount to finish webbassigns, it's a bad habit and it'll most likely knock a letter grade or two off your tests. I am always happy to look over your derivations of homework during office hours or at the tutorial center. Additionally, most days (time permitting) I'll answer a question about the homework. I try to give you all the tools you need to do the homework, but it is you who must put those tools to work. Think.

It would be wise to read the section before we cover it in class. I have made an effort to supply examples in addition to the text, so you still should find some additional benefit from reading the text. Please notice the tentative dates for lecture are listed in the brackets [...] below. The dates in parentheses (...) are the webassign due dates. Note that problems in bold are webassign problems(you have to submit them thru webbassign) Webassign problems correspond to even numbered problems from the text.

Notice that there are ten assignments I have asked you to turn your work in to explain why you gave the webassign answers that you did. I explicitly warn you when this happens in the schedule below. Scratch work is fine, just try to make it readable and label the problems clearly. If your work is reasonable you will not loose any additional points. These turn-in assignments are to guard against cheating and to encourage you to attack chapter 8 more carefully than you might otherwise. If your turned in work is acceptable then I will leave your webassign score as it stands once you've done that section. If your turn-in work is not acceptable I will deduct some appropriate percentage from your webassign score in that section. If this is not clear to you please ask me and I'll elaborate. This measure is meant to help you, it is my desire that through the careful completion of your homework you are well prepared for my tests. It is always my intent to reward those of you who do the work.
