Bulletin Board

There will be two  review sessions for the  Final Exam     from    3-4  PM   .

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

FINAL    EXAM
The Final Exam will have   25    problems  .   Approximately   15    will come  from   Chapters      9 , 10 ,  11 & 12 ,
   and   approximately     10   will   come  from  chapter    13 .  All questions  are  multiple  choice  ,   4   points    each .
 The only  sections  from  which  problems  may   appear on the  Exam  ,    from   the first  four   chapters ,   are  :
9.1 , 9.5 , 9.6 , 9.7 , 10.1 , 10.2 , 10.4 , 10.5  ,  11.3 , 11.4 , 11.6  ,  11.8 , 12.2 , 12.3 , 12.4 , 12.7  &  12.8 .
The problems from chapter 13  , new material ,  can come from any section we  covered ,  13.1 - 13.5  .
For the Final Exam you can use your calculator  and  a  5 x 7   notecard  .

HOMEWORK   GRADE
To figure out  your  grade on  homeworks ,  I   will take  the average that comes from the last two  homeworks  ,   9   and  10  ,
and the best   5  out  of   8   of the earlier  homeworks  .   Hence if you missed  some earlier homework
it will not affect your homework grade .

2. Grading Information

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

There will also be a final, E4.

GRADES  :   Each of the Exams  1-3  will count  19%  toward the final course grade while the Final Exam will count  28% .  The remaining  15%  will reflect homework grades .  If  E1 , E2 , E3 , and F  are your four exam scores and  HW  is your average homework score , each scaled to  100 ,  then your  total   T  is given by  :

T = .19(E1 + E2 + E3 ) +  .28 F  +  .15 HW

In cases where the lowest of the E1-E3  is  less  than  F  , this lowest value will be replaced in the formula  for  T   by  a  weighted average of the other two in-semester exam scores  and  F .  Thus, the lowest in-semester exam  will be dropped out in computing averages provided this lowest score isn"t  F  .

Then your   letter grade     for the course  will     not be lower     than it would be if it were based  on  the scale appearing in the following table .

Numerical Range Letter Grade
        86 <=  T
A
   73 <=  T <  86  
 B
    60 <=  T  <  73
C
    50  <=  T  <  60
 D
          T   <  50
 F   or  NC


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 not be given   a  make-up   exam .  You first need to explain to me why you missed the exam and if everything is in  order you will get an   excused absence .  Your grade for the missed exam will be calculated by a   statistical proceedure which uses your scores on the other taken exams, including the Final  .  If the only exam you miss is the Final Exam , and for that receive an excused absence , then you  must take a  make-up  Final exam at the begining of the   Spring  semester .        
Policy  for  taking  exams :

You should always bring your Washington University Photo  ID  to exams ; proctors will check student ID's .
A standard-sized  3x5  index card will be permitted as a "cheat sheet" on the exams.
Graphing calculators will usually be allowed , these include the TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-86 ,  but  NOT  any model that contains a  " Computer Algebra System (CAS) "  ( for example  TI-89 , TI-92, HP-48 and HP-49 are not allowed )  .
Use of a calculator with a built-in  CAS  during an exam will be viewed as an academic integrity violation that will be referred to the Academic Integrity Committee .
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.


EXAM   RETURNS   :    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 233 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 .  

Resources  for  Help with  Math 233   :    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  .
 

3. Text

Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, Second Edition , James Stewart

No other book is required. It is highly desirable that you concurrently learn to use some software that is of service in doing calculus.A good book for learning  Matlab  would be  :
Using Matlab in Calculus , Gary Jensen
