Class Calendar

QUIZZES: Periodic quizzes will be given, some in class, some take home, some open book, some closed book.
TESTS: There will be 3 skills tests during the term. The topics covered will include limits, derivatives and integrals.
FINAL PROJECT: During the last week of classes, you (with a partner) will make a presentation to the class. More details will follow as the term progresses.
WEBASSIGN: There will be frequent online assignments to be completed on WebAssign.
CLASSWORK: Problems will be completed in class in groups and collected and graded. Every member of the group will receive the same grade.
LABS: There will be up to 10 lab projects assigned to be completed using the computer algebra system Maple. Maple is available on all computers in the lab in Robinson Hall.
SOLUTIONS: There will be up to 5 problems that you will solve during the term for which you will be required to turn in a written solution. This write-up should include a clear statement of the problem and all steps needed to solve the problem. The solution must be written in prose in paragraph form, so that when you have finished reading it aloud to someone unfamiliar with the problem, your audience will understand both the problem and how you arrived at your solution.

CALCULATORS: Calculators may NOT be used on tests or quizzes.

MAKE UP work will be given only due to an illness or a university related activity.
