Remark:
The TA conduct your confrence sessions, on Fridays, 10:00am. He also holds
office hours when you can come and ask for help.
The IAs conduct the labs for the course. Their office hours
are not restricted to lab questions - any calculus questions can be brought
to them.
The labs are conducted each Wednesday, 10:00-10:50pm in SH306. For a description and schedule, click here .
You are supposed to attend all lectures, conferences, and labs. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to make a copy of the classnotes from another student and make sure you learn what you have missed. Labs will be graded and they bring 10% of your final grade. You should turn in the lab assignments in teams of two. In exceptional cases, with special permission, you can work on the labs individually. Teams of three or more students are not allowed. A missed lab cannot be made up. No late work will be accepted.
Homework will never be collected or graded, but if you don't do it on time, you will not get enough practice, and this will ultimately hurt your grade. As an incentive to do your homework, all test problems will be taken from the homework.
There will be seven in-class tests (25 minutes each) and a two-hour Final exam on the evening Wednesday, October 15 (7:00-9:00pm). No books, notes, or calculators will be allowed on the tests and exams. The lowest of the seven test scores will be dropped.
No makeup tests will be given - ever. If you miss a test, that will be the one dropped when computing the semester score.
The Final Exam will consist of two parts. The first part will be a
Basic Skills component. You cannot pass the course if you do
not pass the basic skills component. If you do pass the Basic Skills
component, then your grade will be calculated in the following way:
60% of the grade come from the six best Tests,
30% of the grade come from the Final Exam,
10% of the grade come from the Maple Labs.
These scores are combined to give a final number of
points, between 0 and 100.
Point ranges for the final grades are approximately given by:
A: 100-90
B: 89-80
C: 79-65
These cutoffs might go down a bit due to curving (but don't count on
it). They will not go up. (In other words, 90 points guarantee you
an A, etc).
Students with failing averages in the course are given grades of NR, whether or not they passed the Basic Skills exam.
Students with passing averages who failed the Basic Skills exam are given grades of I (incomplete). They will be given the opportunity to re-take the Basic Skills exam at a later date; if they pass it, they will receive their respective grades based on their passing average.
Anybody caught cheating on any of the tests or exams will be assigned a failing grade.
