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.
