SPRING 2012 ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MATH 151

Sara Soffer will start her Calculus I clinics on January 24. These clinics are an extra help session in an informal setting when students can ask any question, practice and go over the material, if needed. This is not a one-to-one tutoring but more of a study group/work. These clinics will be given every Tuesday, 3:00-4:20 pm at ARC 328 (Busch) and every Friday, 1:40-3:00 pm at Hill 124 (Busch). No clinics on Friday March 9 and Friday April 6. There are no clinics when there are no classes or on days when there is emergency snow closing or dangerous driving conditions.

COMMENTS ON FORMULA SHEETS:

Math 151 and Math 152 have course coordinators. During each semester, the Math 151 course coordinator makes the following determinations for each exam in Math 151: (1) Whether to include a formula sheet in the exam booklet. (2) In case a formula sheet is to be included, which formulas to include. These determinations are made separately for each of the three exams, which are Exam 1 (the first midterm exam), Exam 2 (the second midterm exam) and the Final Exam. During the current semester, the Math 151 course coordinator will make these determinations approximately two weeks before each exam. If the course coordinator decides that an exam will include a formula sheet, then that formula sheet will be posted above, approximately two weeks before the exam. The standard formula sheet for Exam 1 is posted now. Students are not allowed to bring their own formula sheets to any exam. If you look at what was done during the Fall 2010 semester (and you can see this if you scroll further down on this web page) then you will see that formula sheets were included in Fall 2010, and that these formula sheets had very few formulas on them. The Exam 1 formula sheet for Spring 2012 has even less information on it. If an exam does not contain a formula sheet, then this means that you have to memorize the formulas that are relevant to that exam. If an exam contains a formula sheet, then this means that you have to memorize the formulas that are not on the formula sheet.
