What are the privileges of membership in the Second Chance Club for Exam 1?
If you qualify for membership, then your course grade will be computed in
two ways. The first way is the usual way, adding up all the scores
of exam 1, exam 2, the Final and the homework/Maple Labs score.
The second way, ignoring exam 1, and only adding up the scores of exam 2, the Final, and the homework/Maple Labs
divided by 400 and then multiplied by 500 (this is called pro-rating it).
Whatever is higher, is the score that will determine your course grade,
determined according to the scale:
450-500:A ;
420-449: B+ ;
390-419: B ;
360-389: C+ ;
315-359: C ;
270-314: D ;
0-269: F . No Curve!.

-
Go through each of the posted lecture notes, for lectures 1 to 10,
review them carefully, do each of the "Problems from a Previous Final"
Then for each such problem, make up another one of a similar kind, and solve it.
[Note that some lecture notes do not have such problems, in that case, of course, there is nothing to do].
-
In each of the covered sections of the book (Lectures 1-10), pick two problems (from the EXCERCISES at the end of the section),
that have not been assigned as homework, but that are similar to those that have been assigned
(in other words not the very low-numbered, that are usually too easy, and not the very last ones,
thar are usually too hard) and do them.
Also put them in the same folder.
That folder should be emailed to DrZcalc3@gmail.com no later than Nov. 22, 2020, 9:00pm.
