You are encouraged to study together and help each other throughout the semester. If everyone does well, everyone will receive a good grade.

Expectations: A fair amount of work is involved in learning calculus. You are expected to come to lecture on time. Plan ahead so you are not late. You should come to every lecture, and come prepared. It is your responsibility to obtain notes from another student if you miss class. You are expected to read the assigned sections and work on the homework problems immediately after they are assigned. You should be prepared to ask questions, take notes, and look alive in class. Please bring your text book to class and leave the cell phone at home. Repeat: NO CELL PHONES OR PAGERS!!! In addition to attending lecture, you should spend at least 6 hours per week on my course.


Extra Credit: Do NOT expect to be able to do some extra work to help your grade either before or after the final exam. There will be NO extra credit other than perhaps an extra problem on an exam.

Disabilities: It is the responsibility of students with certified disabilities to provide the instructor with appropriate documentation from the Dean of Students Office.

Cheating: No cheating will be tolerated. Anyone caught cheating will receive an F in the course. Furthermore, a letter will be sent to the appropriate dean.

Lecture schedule: The following Tentative Lecture Schedule gives you an idea what material I intend to cover in this class, but note that the schedule might change often. You are responsible for all announcements/assignments made in class!
