2. Bulletin Board

  Please check this place regularly for e-mails.

The first Webwork assignment will go online on Wednesday evening,
9/1, at 11:59 PM.  
WEBWORK can be found on the math department page (www.math.wustl.edu).
The first time you sign on, use your 6 digit student ID number as your username and password.
After you enter Webwork, you may change your password, if you so desire.

Each time you enter a solution, Webwork will tell you if it is
right or wrong. If it is wrong you can try working the problem again, any
 number of times. You will be graded on what appears on your Webwork
at 11:59 PM, Sunday, 9/12. After that, no changes can be made.
 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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.

As it appears on the syllabus, there is no class this Friday, 9/10. Also, there will be no office hour tomorrow, Thursday.
To make up for that, I will have an office hour on Sunday, 9/12, 10:30 - 11:30 AM.
It will be in my office, Cupples I, room 107B. The east side door of the building will be open. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Review session for exam 1, on Monday, 9/20, 5-6 PM in Rebstock 215.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solutions to practice exam 1 can now be found online, in the same place
as the practice exam.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Some parts of the practice exam were amended, before it was put online.
It seems that an earlier, non-amended version, got put into the system,
which explains why some students pointed out that they couldn't find a correct answer in some of the problems.
The solution practice exam is as it should be, so look there to get the correct version.
Sorry about that, I will try to be more careful next time.


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


3.   QUIZZES     :  You will have 9 quizzes during the semester  each taken at the beginning of your discussion subsection.
 The    dates of the 9 quizzes can be found below  on the  Syllabus . Each quiz will have 2 questions, worth 3 points each. 
  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  9,
 with at least 2  coming from the  last 3. Hence the highest score would be 36.


      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  21st
Check here on exam day. 6:30 - 8:30 PM Solutions
E2 October  19th
Check here on exam day. 6:30 - 8:30 PM Solutions
E3 November  16th
Check here on exam day. 6:30 - 8:30 PM Solutions
 F
December  16th
Check here on exam day. 3:30 AM - 5:30 PM  Solutions


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

S =

0.18* [ E1 + E2 + E3 + 2*E4 - min(E1, E2, E3, E4) ] + (0.5) Q + (0.1) WW 



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

The value of S will be translated into a letter grade in a way that is not stricter than the following table:

Numerical Range Letter Grade
90 - 100 A- , A , or A+
75 -  89.99 B- , B, or  B+
60 - 74.99 C- , C,  or  C+
50 - 59.99 D
0 - 49.99 F


For example, if a student obtains evening exam scores of 86, 60, and 74, a final exam score of 78, a total quiz score of 30, and a 70  on WW,
then the 78 will replace the 60, and S will be equal to:

0.18*(86 +78 + 74 + 78) + (0.5)*30 + (0.1)*70  = 78.88.

The student's score would then be  78.88, which will be something in the B range, most likely a  B-.
If the overall grade distribution turns out to be low then a change in the above grading system might be considered. 

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


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.





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

1, 2010 at 5pm and close on Sunday, September 5, 2010 at midnight. An
attempt will be made to accommodate all students who apply, but there are
a limited number of spots available. If necessary, students will be
selected via a lottery. Placement e-mails will be sent out by September 8,
2010, and the first group meetings will be the weekend of September 11/12.
To learn more about the program, visit http://calcpltl.wordpress.com/ or
contact Lisa Kuehne, lmkuehne@wustl.edu.

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  .
