QUIZZES : You will have 8 quizzes during the
semester each taken at the beginning of your discussion subsection.
Each quiz will have
2 problems, 3 points each.
The dates for the 8 quizzes can be found below, they are 9/10, 10/1,
10/8, 10/22, 10/29, 11/5, 11/19, 12/3.
The problems on the
quizzes come from 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 8 quiz scores, with at least two
coming from your last 4.
To get this into a
grade for the quizzes, the sum will be multiplied by (100/36).
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 on the Math Dept. page
(www.math.wustl.edu),
first click on, Undergarduate.
Then click on, Calculus Students, followed by, Webwork.
To start with, your username and password is your student ID number. After 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 it again and
again , as many times as you need .
*****************************************************************************************************
4. Grading

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 above
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- .

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 hand
graded part of an exam is graded I will hold on to them in my office (Cupples I, room 107B) for one week , a
time in which you can come and look
at that part of the exam if you feel there might have been some error in
the grading. Once the exams are put in the hall boxes on the first floor of Cupples I, bellow the 132 sign, it will be more
difficult to check on possible grading errors.

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
. 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, on the Math Department page. It includes
exams from the past semesters, and can be used as a study guide..
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
.
