2. Bulletin Board

  Please check this place regularly for e-mails.

e-mail

On the day of the exam, next Wednesday 9/23,  your  room and
seat assignment can be found online on the Math Dept page.
Under "resources" you will find "exam seat". Click it on and then
enter your name Id number and our course, 132, and all the
needed data will appear. Again, that will not be there until next Wed.

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

 
 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.
Webwork 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.

Some questions were raised about the wording in problem 6, WW #4.
The area between y=x^2, y=8-x^2 and x=1.5.
The area they are talking about is to right of  x=1.5, not to the left.


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

 ALEKS
You are required to complete the ALEKS Assessment and,
if necessary,the learning component of ALEKS.
 You must complete all of this before the first
exam (Sept 23) to receive credit. If you do not complete this
 then you will receive a 0 for the ALEKS portion of your grade.

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


 


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


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 .

Exam Date Location Time Solutions
E1 September  23rd
Check here on exam day. 6:30 - 8:30 PM Solutions
E2 October  21st
Check here on exam day. 6:30 - 8:30 PM Solutions
E3 November  18th
Check here on exam day. 6:30 - 8:30 PM Solutions
 F
December  14th
Check here on exam day. 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM  Solutions


                                                  Using  E1 , E2 , E3 for the first three exams,  E4  for the final exam, Q  for the average of the quiz scores,  
                                                          and  HW  for the webworks score, the following is a formula for the total score, S , out of 100:

S =

0.72*((E1 + E2 + E3 + 2*E4 - min(E1, E2, E3, E4))/4) + (.09)Q +(.09) HW + (.1) ALEKS



NOTE : the term in parenthesis indicates that  E4 replaces the worst score among E1, E2, and E3, in the case where E4 is not the worst score of all exams.
                                        If E4 is the worst score then all four exams are counted with equal weight.

The value of S will be translated into a letter grade of A, B, C, D, F (with plus and minus shadings) in a way that is not stricter than the following table:

Numerical Range Letter Grade
[90,100] A
[75,90) B
[60-75) C
[50-60) D
[0,50) F


For example, if a student obtains evening exam scores of 86, 60, and 74, a final exam score of 78, a quiz score of 80, a 70  on HW, and a  90  on ALEKS,
then the 78 will replace the 60, and S will be equal to:

0.72*((86 +78 + 74 + 78) /4) + (.09)*80 + (.09)*70 +(.1)*90 = 79.38.

The student's numerical grade is 79.38, which will something in the B range. Most likely a   B or a  B-.
If the overall grade distribution turns out to be low then a change in the above grading system might be considered.

There will be 10 quizes. The quiz average, Q, will be computed from the best 6, with at least 2 of those coming from the last 4 quizes.

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


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.

There will be a short time after each exam is graded when you can look at your graded exam in the Math Office (Cupples I, room 100) if you feel there might have been some error in the grading. After that the exams will be put out in a cabinet by the Math 132 bulletin board on the first floor of Cupples I, for you to pick up. Once the exams are returned it will be more difficult to check for possible errors in grading.





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


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  .
