Pre-requisite: A grade of C or better in Calculus II.

 

Method of Evaluation: Your final grade in the course is based on:

1.    Top 5 scores out of 6 quizzes/homeworks for a total of 100 points.

2.    Two in-class exams (100 points each):

         Exam 1 – Tuesday, February 9;

         Exam 2 – Thursday, March 25.

            

3. FINAL EXAM (150 points) – Tuesday, April 20, 12:00-2:00pm, regular room.

 

Grade-scale: The following percentages will guarantee the associated grade:

             > 90  : A    80-85 : B     65-75 : C      < 50 : F

             88-90 : A-   78-80 : B-    55-65 : D   

             85-88 : B+   75-78 : C+    50-55 : D-

 

NO MAKEUP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN. If you have a documented medical or professional excuse for missing an exam, that percentage of your grade may be made up on the final.

Attendance: Optional, but I hope you will find it useful to be in class.

Calculator: You may use one for your homework, but generally won’t need one, and will not be allowed one during exams.

Drop deadline: Friday, February 26. Remember, if stop attending classes and don't wish to get an F, you must drop by this date.

Topics to be covered: Most of Chapters 12-16. Suggested homework assignments will be given at the end of each class and recorded on the website. You have to check the web page often for updates. You are expected to spend a minimum of 15 hours a week outside of class on homework and reading the corresponding sections of the text. DO NOT fall behind. This is a very dense course.
