Midterm Exam : Wednesday, November 1, 2006, 6:30-7:45pm,
room 108 Forum.
Homework: Normally homework is assigned each week, and is due on Tuesday the week after in class. Late homework will not be accepted. The homeworks will be graded selectively, but you must complete all the problems. There will be 12 homeworks in all. Normally, the lowest two homework grades will be dropped. Here you find the tentative list of Homework.
Quizzes: Quizzes will be given throughout the semester on a regular basis, normally every other week. They will typically be announced one class in advance. Calculators are NOT allowed in any quizzes. There will be about 6 quizzes in all. Normally the lowest one quiz grade will be dropped. Quizzes are given in class, and there is no conflict or make-up for the quizzes. This means: if you miss it, your grade would be 0 for that quizz.
Class attendance and participation:
I strongly recommend full class attendance and participation.
In limit cases, this would be taken into consideration for your
grades.
From previous experience, I see that interactive learning
seems to be the most effective way.
Therefore, the students are highly encouraged to
ask questions whenever they are confused, and to answer my questions
during class, and also come up to the board to work out simple
examples. :)
My goal is to provide you guidance and help to learn
the basic concepts of calculus, which will be useful for you later
in study and work. I will try my best to make this learning
process more interesting, enjoyable and pleasant.
