Previous Prelim Information

Text: Thomas, Weir, Haas, & Giordano, Thomas' Calculus (Edition: 11) Addison-Wesley, 2005. ISBN: 0-321-18558-7.

Grading: Total of 640 points.

Examinations: The three evening prelims will be on Thursday October 1st, Thursday October 29th and Tuesday December 1st, 7:30-9:00 pm. The final exam will be on Thursday December 10th, 7:00-9:30 pm. Calculators, notes and books are not allowed at the exams. Students with special needs or conflicts should contact their lecturers well in advance of the exams (at least a month in advance).

Homework: There will usually be one problem set due each week on the last of your TA sections of the week (Wednesday, Thursday or Friday). Students may work alone or in groups on the homework, but the solutions you hand in should be your own write-up. From each problem set there will be a small number of problems chosen by the TA for careful grading. No late homework will be accepted unless arrangements have been made in advance for exceptional situations. Your homework is a document that another person has to read. TA's are not obliged to grade unreasonably messy or unstapled papers!

Workshops: The weeks when you'll have workshops are labeled on the course schedule. The workshops will be on the last of your TA sections of the week (Wednesday, Thursday or Friday). Students are expected to have read the workshop before they show up to their discussion section. The TA will split students into groups of about 4 to 5 people. After each workshop every member of a group must hand in a written solution to the workshop. You can not take the workshop problems home with you and hand them in later. Each workshop will be graded out of four points. The grade for the workshops will not only be affected by the work handed in but also by your participation.

Extra credit will be given to those that fill out an evaluation form at http://moodle.math.cornell.edu after each workshop. Each evaluation form will only be open for a week. If you can not access the Moodle page then please contact eap48@cornell.edu.

Academic Integrity: Each student in this course is expected to abide by the Cornell University Code of Academic Integrity. In this course, as stated above, students may work in groups on the homework, but the solutions you hand in should be your own write-up.
