VERY IMPORTANT
-
Attendance is strictly mandatory and enforced!
-
It is also mandatory to take notes of everything I say in class.
Please buy a SINGLE-SUBJECT notebook,
and write on the cover: Calc I Classnotes.
Also write your name and E-mail (in case it gets lost).
Don't use it for any other subjects.
-
Also prepare a brown envelope and title it: Calc I Homework.
The homework is to be handed-in to the Recitation Leader and
will be checked by the peer mentors.
-
Take careful notes during the lectures (and recitations, of course,
but use a different notebook for that), and do all the
homework.
-
If you have a justified absence, then
in your notebook, in the space where you would have taken classnotes,
date it, explain why you were absent (e.g. tape-in doctor's note,
or a signed statement: "I swear on my honor that I felt so bad
that I couldn't make it"), and then in your own handwriting
copy all the worked-examples from the corresponding section(s) of the book.
-
Every lecture will end with a 10-minute informal "quiz", asking you to
do some problems covered in that day's class.
It doesn't count towards the grade, but I use it first, to check attendance
(it is more efficient than calling 75 names), but more importantly,
to make sure that you know how to do the problems.
You should copy your answers to your notebook, so that you can
compare it against the solutions that I will Email you after
every class. If you didn't get them right, you are
very strongly encouraged to attend the next
free tutoring session at LSH A-143, held every MTh 7:45-8:35am.
