2. Bulletin Board

  Please check this place regularly for e-mails.


 WEBWORK can be found on the math department page (www.math.wustl.edu).
The first time you sign on, use your student ID number as your password.
Webork Notation  :
1) log  represents the natural logarithm.
2) sqrt(x)  is the square root of  x.
2) x*y  represents  the product, x times y.
3) x**n   means   x  raised to the power n.


OFFICE HOURS THIS WEEK

T, W, Th   3:30 - 4:30 PM
F      9:30 - 10:30  AM




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What you can bring with you to the final exam

1) A legal calculator, like those used on the first three exams.
2) A  4 x 6  card, a bit larger than the 3x5  you've been using.
Since the 5 x 7 was originally the size, it doesn't exist, if you want
you may cut a larger card down a  5 x 7  size and use that in place of the 4x6.

Nothing else should be brought with you. Attached to  your booklet will
be a list of the Maclaurin series that might be needed together with
the needed material for the trigonometric functions.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TABLE FOR FINAL  EXAM

There will be  20  multiple choice questions, no handwritten part.

12 questions will be from the material of the first three exams. The
problems will come from sections:  5.5, 5.6, 6.1, 6.3, 6.5,
6.6 ("not" pumping liquid ),  7.1, 7.3, 7.4,7.7, 8.2, 8.6

8 questions will be from material covered after  exam 3.
That is sections  8.7 - 9.3

The table of Maclaurin series has a little mistake. The sigma notations
following the series for  e^x  and  sin(x) should be reversed. That will be announced at the exam.



 


*******************************************************************************************************************************************************


3.   QUIZZES     :  You will have  10 quizzes during the semester  each taken at the beginning of your discussion subsection.
 The    dates of the  10  quizzes can be found below  on the  Syllabus .  
  The problems on the quizzes are usually similar to the suggested exercises that appear on the syllabus .
The   total quiz score   at the end of the semester  will be the sum of the best  6  out of  10
quiz scores, with at least two coming from your  last  4   .


      WEBWORK : There will be 10 Webworks over the semester. Each WW must be completed by 11:59 PM  on the                 due date.  These dates appear on the syllabus below.  To get onto WW first click  "webwork"  on the Math Dept. page.        After that you will see places for your ID number and your password.    To start with, your password is your ID        number.  Once you get on you can change your password for future use .
    Each Webwork will have  10  problems the solution of each must be entered online . The system will tell you if your    answer is correct or incorrect . If  it is  incorrect you may  try  again and again , as many times as you like  .


*****************************************************************************************************

4. Grading Information

There will be three evening exams during the semester, E1 , E2 , E3 .

There will also be a final,  F .

GRADES  :   Each of the Exams  1-4  will count  18%  toward the final course grade  .  Similarly the grade of  the quizzes will  be  18%  .
                       The  WeBWorK  will  be   10% .
                       
To be more precise ,   If   E1 , E2 , E3 , and F  are your four exam scores ,   QU  is your  quiz score ,  WeB  your WeBWorK score
then your  total   T    is given by  :

T = .18(E1 + E2 + E3 + F  + QU )   +  .10 WeB  

In cases where your lowest score  on     E1,E2, E3   is  less  than   F   then in the formula  that score  will be replaced    by   F   .  
EXAMPLE   :  If   E2  is your  lowest  score  and  it is  less than   F  , then the formula  would read   T = .18(E1+F+E3+F+Qu)  +  .10 WeB  
.

As for your    letter grade     for the course ,   your grade     cannot be lower     than what it would be if it were based  on  the scale appearing in the following table.
Each letter grade represents three possibilities, e.g. the letter B could be a   B+ , B or B- .

Numerical Range Letter Grade
    90     to   100
A
   80    to    89  
 B
   65   to    79
C
    50  to     64
 D
       Below   50
 F   or  NC



*******************************************************************************************************************************************


5.  EXAM  POLICY  ( excused absences, grading questions )

Missed Exams  :   If you are  unable to take one of   Exams  E1-E3 for legitimate reasons ( such as verified illness or serious family emergency )  you  will be given an excused absence
for that exam . All excused absences must be granted by  Blake Thornton .   <blake@math.wustl.edu>.          NO INTERM MAKEUP EXAMS ARE GIVEN  .   
Your grade for the missed exam will be calculated by a   statistical procedure which uses the scores on the other taken exams, including the Final  .

 If you miss the Final Exam   for a  legitimate reason then you  will be given a  make-up  Final exam at the beginning of the next semester  .  
 Not coming , because you overslept or forgot the time of the exam is   not  a legitimate reason  .  

EXAM   RETURNS   :    After the exams are graded  they will be kept in the Math Office  ( Cupples  I  ,  room  100 ) for a one week  time period.  If you feel there might have been some error in the grading please speak to me about it during that week. Once the exams are returned it will be  more difficult to check for  possible errors in grading . After the end of that week the exams will be handed back in the tuesday subsections.



*********************************************************************************************************************************************


     
6.   EXAM POLICY  ( cheat sheets, calculators)

You should always bring your Washington University Photo  ID  to exams ; proctors will check student ID's .

A small (3" x 5") index card may be used as a "cheat sheet." You may write on both sides and include any information you deem useful.

Graphing calculators and programmable calculators are not permitted for this course.

The following series of calculators are acceptable:

Casio FX-250, Casio FX-260, FX-270, Casio FX-300
Sharp EL-501, Sharp EL-506, Sharp EL-520, Sharp EL-531, Sharp EL-546
TI-30, TI-34, TI-36

Note: Use of a prohibited calculator at an exam is an academic integrity violation. Any detected violation of academic integrity will be referred to the disciplinary committee of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Just before each exam you can look up your exam room assignment on the web  (see above, "check here on exam day" ) . The room will probably not be your regular classroom, and it may change for each exam. You will be allowed to enter the exam room a few minutes before the starting time to locate your seat and personalized exam booklet which will have your name printed on it in large letters.





***************************************************************************************************************************************************


7.   HELP  RESOURCES

Office Hours   :   My office hours, Monday - Thursday, are  listed above. You should feel free to come in and talk about any material. If you can't make it at those hours ,
you can call me or send me an e-mail   and perhaps we can find another  time. Another possibility is to use one of the office hours of your 132 subsection .

Calculus Help Room  :   Next there is the Calculus Help Room which will first open on September 2nd .
 Details about these can be found  on  : 
http://www.math.wustl.edu/~blake/calculus/
Old Exams  :   Old Exams  and solutions are posted on the web as a study guide ( see above , "solutions" ) .  This comes from the Math Department page and it includes exams from the past  semesters , starting with   Spring 2000 .   Copies of some of these exams should also be available to view or copy at the Reserve Desk of Olin Library.
   
Calculus Study Group   :   Study groups are organized as needed  by   The Center for Advanced Learning    located  in   Conerstone  ( in Gregg Hall on the south 40 ) .  They are conducted by graduate and undergraduate math students . If you want to belong to such a study group you must make a commitment to   attend the group regularly   ( not just  " come when you feel like it"  ) .  For more information you can look on the website   cornerstone.wustl.edu      or   call them  at    935-5970  .
