Please check this place regularly for e-mails.

1. The FINAL EXAM will be on Thursday April 30 at 3:30pm.

2. Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) is a voluntary study group program that is offered for Calculus 131/132/233.
You can sign-up to be considered for a spot using the online application, which will close on Friday, January 16 at 5:00 p.m.:

http://cornerstone.wustl.edu/pltl_app_sp09.html.

An attempt will be made to accommodate all students who apply, but there are a limited number of spots available.
If necessary, students will be selected via a lottery. Placement e-mails will be sent out by January 21, and the first group
meetings will be the weekend of January 24/25. If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Kuehne, lisak@math.wustl.edu.

3. WEBWORK can be found on the math department page (www.math.wustl.edu).
The first time you sign on, use your student ID number as your password.
Webwork Notation :
1) log represents the natural logarithm.

4. OFFICE HOURS THIS WEEK

MWF 1 - 1:45 PM
MF 3 - 4:30 PM

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Quizzes

You will have 10 quizzes during the semester. The quiz is taken at the beginning of your discussion subsection. The dates of the 10 quizzes can be found on the syllabus below.

The problems on the quizzes are usually similar to the suggested exercises that appear on the syllabus.

The total quiz score at the end of the semester will be the sum of the best 6 out of 10 quiz scores, with at least two coming from your last 4.

Webwork

There will be 10 Webwork assignments over the semester. Each Webwork assignment (WW) must be completed by 11:59 PM on the due date. These dates appear on the syllabus below.

To get onto WW first click "webwork" on the Math Dept. page. You will see places for your ID number and your password. To start with, your password is your ID number. Once you get on you can change your password for future use .

Each Webwork will have 10 problems and the solution of each must be entered online . The system will tell you if your answer is correct or incorrect. If it is incorrect you may try again and again, as many times as you like.

4. Grading Information

There will be three evening exams during the semester, E1 , E2 , E3 . There will also be a final, F.

Exam	Date	Location	Time	Solutions
E1	February 4	Check here on exam day.	6:30 - 8:30 PM	Solutions
E2	March 4	Check here on exam day.	6:30 - 8:30 PM	Solutions
E3	April 6	Check here on exam day.	6:30 - 8:30 PM	Solutions
F	April 30	Check here on exam day.	3:30 - 5:30 PM	Solutions

GRADES : Each of the Exams 1-4 will count 18% toward the final course grade. The total quiz score will count 18% and the total WeBWorK score will count 10% .

So if E1 , E2 , E3, and F are your four exam scores, QU is your quiz score, and WeB is your total WeBWorK score, then your total T s given by :
T = .18(E1 + E2 + E3 + F + QU ) + .10 WeB

In cases where your lowest score E1,E2, E3 is less than F, then in the formula that score will be replaced by F
EXAMPLE : If E2 s your lowest score and it is less than F, then the formula would read T = .18(E1+F+E3+F+Qu) + .10 WeB

As for your letter grade for the course, your grade will not be lower than what it would be if it were based on the scale appearing in the following table.
Each letter grade represents three possibilities; e.g. the letter B could be a B+ , B or B- .

Numerical Range	Letter Grade
90 to 100	A
80 to 89	B
65 to 79	C
50 to 64	D
Below 50	F or NC

5. Exam Policy ( excused absences, grading questions )

Missed Exams : If you are unable to take one of Exams E1-E3 for legitimate reasons (such as verified illness or serious family emergency) you will be given an excused absence
for that exam. All such excused absences must be granted by Dr. Blake Thornton. You may contact Dr. Thornton at blake@math.wustl.edu.

NO MAKEUP EXAMS ARE GIVEN FOR EXAMS E1, E2 OR E3. Your grade for the missed exam will be calculated by a statistical procedure which uses the scores on the other taken exams, including the Final.

If you miss the Final Exam for a legitimate reason then you will be given a make-up final exam at the beginning of the next semester. Again, this must be approved by Dr. Thornton.
Not coming because you overslept or because you forgot the time of the exam are not legitimate reasons.

EXAM RETURNS : After the exams are graded, they will be kept in the Math Office (Cupples I, room 100 ) for a one week time period. If you feel there might have been some error in the grading please speak to me about it during that week. Once the exams are returned it will be more difficult to check for possible errors in grading . After the end of that week the exams will be handed back in the Tuesday subsections.

6. EXAM POLICY ( cheat sheets, calculators)

You should always bring your Washington University Photo ID to exams ; proctors will check student ID's .

A small (3" x 5") index card may be used as a "cheat sheet." You may write on both sides and include any information you deem useful.

Graphing calculators and programmable calculators are not permitted for this course.

The following series of calculators are acceptable:

Casio FX-250, Casio FX-260, FX-270, Casio FX-300
Sharp EL-501, Sharp EL-506, Sharp EL-520, Sharp EL-531, Sharp EL-546
TI-30, TI-34, TI-36

Note: Use of a prohibited calculator at an exam is an academic integrity violation. Any detected violation of academic integrity will be referred to the disciplinary committee of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Just before each exam you can look up your exam room assignment on the web (see above, "check here on exam day" ) . The room will probably not be your regular classroom, and it may change for each exam. You will be allowed to enter the exam room a few minutes before the starting time to locate your seat and personalized exam booklet which will have your name printed on it in large letters.

7. Help Resources

1. My office hours, Monday - Friday, are listed above. You should feel free to come in and talk about any material. If you can't make it at the listed hours ,
you can call me or send me an e-mail and perhaps we can find another time. Another possibility is to use one of the office hours of your 132 subsection.

2. Calculus Help Room, LOPATA 323. Graduate Student Teaching Assistants (TAs) for the Calculus courses (127,128,131,132, 233) hold office hours in this room. These TAs are also available for help for any student who comes to the Calculus Help Room. This will first open on January 14, 2009. For more details, see Calculus Help Room.

3. Your TA's office hours or an appointment with your TA. You can email your TA ( wdeng at math.wustl.edu or dombrom at math.wustl.edu) to make an appointment.

4. Cornerstone Calculus Help Desk. This is walk-up help available at cornerstone in the evenings (generally Sunday through Thursday from 7-9PM, but you should check their webpage for their schedule).

5. Cornerstone Mentoring. Mentors and study groups are available at Cornerstone. Information can be found at the Cornerstone webpage.

6. Engineering Tutoring Services (only available to EN students).

7. PLTL. Students who want to participate in PLTL need to sign up for PLTL at the beginning of the semester. Even if you don't sign up, there are PLTL problem sets available at the PLTL webpage.

8. Old Exams : Old Exams and solutions are posted on the web as a study guide ( see above , "solutions" ) . This comes from the Math Department page and it includes exams from the past semesters , starting with Spring 2000. Copies of some of these exams should also be available to view or copy at the Reserve Desk of Olin Library.

Please note that in previous years different textbooks were used and so the course material might have been slightly different. You are responsible only for the material covered in class or in our textbook or in WebWork. In other words, don't panic if a problem seems to cover material which we did not but do check with me to see whether or not it is something you should know how to solve.

8. Teaching Assistants (subsections)

Wei Deng : A, B, F
Marina Dombrovskaya : C, D, E
