Course Info:
Scheduling and GradingYour Math 221 grade will be distributed according to Professor Ram's course description . In particular, while only 8% of your final grade will depend on homework, all exam problems will be taken directly from homework.Homework will be due weekly on Monday, in lecture. Each week your I will grade 5 randomly chosen problems from your homework. Each of these problems will be worth 1 point (5 points total). 2 more points will be given for completeness and 3 more points for overall quality. If you have specific questions, include a note with your homework so that I can help. Most of the answers to the homework problems will be given along with the homework problems and so if you do not show your steps, justify your answers, and write clearly in complete sentences, you will get no credit. Your homework should be turned in in a form which could be given to a typist for typing, i.e. neat, clear, legible, and in complete sentences. Late homework is not accepted. The homework assignments should be found here (see the section "Homework Assignments"). Or, for tree-friendly printing, smaller versions can be found below. You can find consolodated versions of Prof. Ram's lecture notes in the Lectures and Calendar section below. Review sessions will likely be held shortly before the midterm exams and the final exam. Specifics will be announced as each exam draws near.
Technology PolicyCalculators, textbooks and notes are all extremely good tools for learning calculus. Students are strongly encouraged to use these resources fully in order to learn the material. Calculators are not allowed on exams for the same reasons that books and notes are not allowed on exams. Students are encouraged to use calculators while studying and doing the homework problems in the same way that textbooks help with studying and doing homework problems. |
