Pre-requisite: Grade C or better in Calculus II.

Method of Evaluation: Your final grade in the course is based on:

1. Top 5 scores out of 6 quizzes for a total of 100 points.

2. Two in-class exams (100 points each):

Exam 1 – Tuesday, October 2;

Exam 2 – Tuesday, November 13.

3. FINAL EXAM (150 points) - comprehensive exam – Likely date: December 13.

Grade-scale: The following percentages will guarantee the associated grade:

> 90 : A 80-85 : B 65-75 : C < 50 : F

88-90 : A- 78-80 : B- 55-65 : D

85-88 : B+ 75-78 : C+ 50-55 : D-

NO MAKEUP EXAMS OR QUIZZES WILL BE GIVEN. If you have a documented medical or professional excuse for missing an exam, that percentage of your grade may be made up on the final.

Attendance: Optional, but I hope you will find it useful to be in class.

Calculator: You may use one for your homework, but generally won’t need one, and will not be allowed one during exams.

Drop deadline: November 2. Remember, if stop attending classes and don't wish to get an F, you must drop by this date.

Topics to be covered: Most of Chapters 12-16. Suggested homework assignments will be recorded on the website. You have to check the web page often for updates. You are expected to spend a minimum of 10 hours a week outside of class on homework and reading the corresponding sections of the text.
