Homework/Quizes
- Homework is posted at here.
Collaboration on the homework is strongly encouraged.
- In each section there will be a quiz consisting of two questions.
One will be strait from the homework and the other will be one similar
to the homework problems. You will be allowed to drop your two lowest
quiz grades and then the Homework/Quiz portion of your final grade will
be the average of the remaining grades.
- One of the purposes of allowing students to drop two quiz grades
is so that if they have to miss a section it will not hurt their over
all grade for the class. As such quizzes can not be made up except
under special circumstances. And in order to make up n quizzes there
must be special circumstances regarding n+2 sections that are missed.
Quote From Calculus at
Penn: "Most of your work in calculus will be spent on homework
assignments. This can be more time consuming than many other courses.
The average student should spend at least 10 hours per week outside of
class to master calculus well. This includes time for reading text,
solving assigned homework problems (the minimum work required), working
on computer assignments and discussing the harder problems with your
study group. Many students will need more than 10 hours per week of
practice."
