Communication:  If need be, I will communicate with you through your FIU email account; so be sure to check it often.  Attendance: It is strongly recommended that you attend all class meetings. If  you cannot attend a lecture, it is your responsibility to cover the missed material or to get the notes from a class mate.  

Early Alerts:  The early alerts system is there to help you succeed in this course by detecting difficulties with the course early on in the semester, so that they can be addressed  with your advisor.  Here is how it works: if you are not performing well in the course or if you are frequently absent, I will inform your advisor so that you will be contacted to discuss either issue.

Textbook: Multivariable Calculus, by Anton, Bivens, and Davis, 10th edition, John Wiley. The material I plan to cover includes all sections of chapters 11(Three-dimensional space, vectors), 12(Vector-valued functions), 13(Functions of several variables), 14(Multiple integrals), 15(Topics in vector calculus). The tentative order of material coverage is:  11(all), 13(all), 14(all),  15(all), 12(all). There are 40 sections; so we will try to  cover  two sections on Fridays as much as possible.

Recommendations: Begin to do your homework from today, August 22, till the last day of class. Set your goal for the course right from the beginning, and work tirelessly toward it; do not let anyone or anything divert you from your goal. Many students have trouble passing this course because there are many different notions to assimilate within one semester. However, if you put the necessary effort into it, then you'll succeed. Do not fall behind; it might prove very difficult to catch up afterwards. Be sure to attend classes regularly, and to diligently deal with any questions or concerns you might have. Remember that I, the LA, and other free tutoring help are here to help you succeed; so do not be shy or afraid to ask questions about a notion that you do not understand; it is absolutely normal to not be able to catch every apple as it falls from the tree, but be sure to pick up those that have escaped your grasp. It is my responsibility to make sure that your questions and concerns are swiftly addressed to your satisfaction. Avoid being a passive learner; I expect you to be active in and outside the classroom by regularly doing the homework as we move along the sections, and by asking questions on concepts or homework problems that you find hard. To facilitate your progress with problem solving, it would be better to note down the homework problems that you could not solve as well as the reason why (maybe you did it and your answer was not the same as that of the solution manual, or you started and could not complete, or you did it differently than the solution manual and want to ckeck whether your approach is correct, or you could not even start); that would be very helpful when you raise questions about them. You will  acquire the necessary skills needed to successfully complete  this course by doing your homework daily. I will do my best to help you, and I expect you to do your best. Do not wait until the eve of a quiz or test to try to catch up on every thing; it would be too late. After  a quiz or test  has been graded, be sure to  discuss your mistakes with  me or the LA, so that you do not make the same mistakes in subsequent quizzes or tests.  "Always do your best." "Never do tomorrow what you can do today. Proscratination is the thief of time''.


Evaluation:
-  Twelve quizzes ( F August 26, F September 02,  Friday September 09, F September 16, Friday September 23,
                                 Friday September 30, Friday October 07, Friday October 14, Friday October 21, Friday October 28
                                 Friday November 04, Friday November 18)
- Three in-class tests  (Wednesday September 21; Wednesday October 19; Wednesday November 23)
- Cumulative Final exam ( Monday 12/05: 12:00-2:00 PM, PCA 150)

The twelve quizzes will make up 30% of the course grade. The three  in-class tests will account for 40% of the course grade; each of these three tests will last 100 minutes.  The final exam is cumulative, and will be worth 30%. You will be required to produce a photo ID before taking any of the tests, and before writing the final exam. Arrange to be in the room about ten minutes before the class starts; do not arrive late on a test day, else you will not be allowed to take the test, and you'll get a zero.  For students who took all the four tests, we will also use the alternate grading scheme: Term work 50%, and final exam 50%, whichever produces the highest grade. No calculators, or ipods, ipads or pagers or cellphones are allowed during the exams or class time; you are not allowed to use or check these devices during the exam or class time, they must be off.  On a  test day, you are not allowed to use a formula sheet or write formulas on your cloth or body, otherwise that would be considered a cheating act, and will be sanctioned as such. Once you start a test, you cannot leave the room until you are done. There will be no make-up for missed quizzes or  tests. If you miss a test and you produce a doctor certificate indicating that you were sick and unable to write the test, then the corresponding grade will be added to the final exam grade, otherwise, a zero will be recorded for any missed test.

Grading Scale:

0-39      F                      40-59   D                       60-64   C                     
65-69   C+                    70-74   B-                     75-79   B
80-84   B+                    85-89  A-                     90-100  A

Academic Misconduct:  FIU is a community dedicated to generating and imparting knowledge through excellent teaching and research, the rigorous and respectful exchange of ideas, and community service. All students should respect the right of others to have an equitable opportunity to learn and honestly demonstrate the quality of their learning. Therefore, all students are expected to adhere to a standard of academic conduct, which demonstrates respect for themselves, their fellow students, and the educational mission of the University. All students are deemed by the University to understand that if they are found responsible for academic misconduct, they will be subject to the Academic Misconduct procedures and sanctions, as outlined in the Student Handbook.

Incomplete grades:
    It is extremely difficult to qualify for an incomplete grade. An incomplete grade is not a substitute for a failing grade. In order to be considered for an incomplete grade, the student must have completed at least seven-eighths (7/8) of the course and must be passing with a grade of C or better.

Important Dates: 

October 31  is the last date to drop the course with a DR  grade. It is of a great importance that you accurately assess your course performance prior to this date.  The university is closed Monday  September 5 for Labor Day, Friday November 11 for Veterans Day, and November 24&25 for Thanksgiving.
