  • 2. TA Information: The Teaching Assistant for this course is Brady Rocks (brocks@math.wustl.edu ). He is at the Calculus Help desk (Lopata 323) 3-5pm Monday and Tuesday. There will be also a review session 5:30-7pm on every Thursday (except for the exam weeks) in Room 199 of Cupples I. For now, the review session will be like office hours, but if there is a certain topic you want to be reviewed, you can email Brady Rocks in advance.

    3. Exams: There will be three evening exams during the semester, E1, E2, E3. There will also be a final F.
    Solutions to the exams will be available the day after each exam.

    Exam Date Location Time Solutions
    E1 September 19 TBA 7-9PM Solutions
    E2 October 17 TBA 7-9PM Solutions
    E3 November 14 TBA 7-9PM Solutions
    F December 13 TBA 3:30-5:30pm Solutions

    Just before the exam, you can look up your exam room assignment on the web at this link: http://www.math.wustl.edu/seatlookup (the course number is 233 and the exam number for midterm one is 1)
    You will be allowed to enter the exam room a few minutes before the starting time.

    4. Grading Information:
    The three evening exams, E1, E2, E3, and the final exam F, each out of 100, will be combined in the following way to obtain an exam total grade S, out of 100:

        S := (2E1 + 2E2 + 2E3 + 3F)/9

    If your final grade F is larger than the minimum of E1, E2, E3, then the minimum of the midterm exams will be dropped out and will be replaced by the final exam score.

    Your course grade will be based on your Webwork score HW, also scaled to 100, and your exam total grade S as follows:

        T := 0.85*S + 0.15*HW

    For example, if a student obtains midterm exam scores of 86, 60, 74, a final exam score of 78, and a homework grade of 88 , then the 78 replaces the 60, and S is equal to 78.88.
    The final grade will be 0.85*78.88 + 0.15*88 = 80.24.


    Policy on missed exams. If you are unable to take one of the Exams E1, E2, or E3 for legitimate reasons (such as verified illness or serious family emergency), you will not be given a make-up exam. You first should talk to Dr. Blake Thornton and explain why you missed the exam; if everything is in order, you will get an excused absence. Your grade for the missed exam will be calculated by a statistical procedure which uses your scores on the other taken exams including the Final. If you miss the Final exam, and for that receive an excused absence then you must take a make-up final exam (usually at the beginning of the spring semester).

    5. General Exam Policy:
  • You should always bring you Washington University Photo ID to exams; proctors will check student ID's.

    The policy on calculators and cheat sheets will be announced later.

  • 6. Additional Resources:
    In addition to my office hours and Brady Rocks review sessions, you can use the following sources for help.

  • The Calculus Help Desk.

  • Cornerstone Calculus Help Desk which provides calculus help in the evenings.

  • PLTL.
