I
assume
that
you're
regularly attending lectures and discussion sections, and working hard
at the homework exercises. Nothing here is intended as a
substitute
for that.
Other resources:
- Instructor's
office
hours, listed on the main page of the syllabus. If all those hours
are impossible for you, contact your TA or instructor about the possibility
of
making an appointment.
- TAs staff a Calculus
Help Room
is staffed for several hours on weekdays. This includes "office hours"
by your TA. You can visit at any of the TA's at their scheduled
times, but those TA's working with Math 132 may be a little more
"up" on what's happening in Calculus I at the moment.
- Calculus PLTL Groups
("Peer Led Team Learning"): these groups are an optional, semester-long
commitment that you need to sign up for immediately at the start of this course. The application form is open from 5:00
pm CST on Monday, January 16 until 1:00 pm Friday, January 20. Students
who apply during this period are guaranteed placement into a PLTL group.
- Worksheets
that are being used in the PLTL Groups are also available
online if others not in PLTL want to use them for practice.
- Keep an eye on Cornerstone Events that might be relevant, including Mentoring Sessions.
- Engineering Student Services coordinates free tutoring for
the math, chemistry and physics courses required for an Engineering
degree. Engineering undergraduate students
may receive up to four hours per week of free one-on-one tutoring for
each course.
- Other
help is also available through Cornerstone: a walk in help desk
including Residential Peer Mentors (RPM's) at scheduled times in dorm
areas. h Help Desk. In addition, Residential Peer Mentors
(RPM's)
are available at scheduled times in dorm areas. Check the
details at the Academic Programs and other links available at the Cornerstone web page.
- Old Exams
Online
are available for review and study. Each instructor may have his/her
own style of exams. The timing of the exam in past semesters
(and, possibly, a different textbook) may mean that the material is not
a perfect match to the material on the courseponding exam this
semester. Generally speaking, I suggest using the exams from Fall 2016
for practice. Links to these exams are posted on the Exams page of this syllabus.
- If you have any need for special accommodations due a disability, you should contact the Disability Resource Center
at Cornerstone (935-5970).
