Textbook: Calculus, James Stewart, 7th international metric ed., 2012 (available at the bookstore)
Exams and Grading: Course grades are determined by short exams (organized by the teaching assistants), two (non-cumulative) midterm exams, and a cumulative final exam.- Homework: 2 % (WeBWorK)
- Short Exams: 2x 10 % = 20 %
- Midterm Exams: 2x 22 % = 44 %
- Final Exam: 34 %
- Bonus: 5 % (method determined by instructors)
Homework: There will online homeworks assigned but NOT GRADED using the WeBWork system.
Short Exams: Two out-of-class short exams will be organized and administered by the recitation teaching assistants. These exams will consist of problems mainly taken from the related webwork assignments. Their timing will be announced by TAs.
Bonus: Each section instructor will announce a method for awarding bonus points during the first lecture. This method may vary between sections.
Make-up Midterm Policy: In order to be eligible to enter the make-up examination for a missed (midterm or final) examination, a student should have a documented or verifiable, and officially acceptable excuse. It is not possible to make up multiple missed exams. The make-up examination for all exams will be after the final exam, and will include all topics.
Missed Short Exam Policy: At most one short exam may be missed with a valid, acceptable excuse. This short exam's grade will be replaced by the average grade of the other exams.
Cheating Policy: Cheating on any midterm or short exam will result in any of the following: (1) immediate score of 0 on that exam, (2) immediate grade of FF in the course, (3) forwarding the case to the university disciplinary committee.
Math Help Room: Office hours will be held in the mathematics help room (T-103). Students are encouraged to visit the help room both at the office hours of their own instructors, and others. The room can also be used for studying and for working in groups. Students are also encouraged to seek out instructors in their offices.
Suggested Problems: For each lecture, the assistants will announce additional suggested problems from the textbook. These problems will not be graded. The list of problems is available on the course website.
