FINAL

Final exam: From 14:45 to 16:45; Soc Sci 5206 or 5208

 


Advice on the text and the list of problems: I strongly recommend that you read the indicated material before attending the lectures. Although the text is very comprehensive, I may present additional information or perspective on a given topic during lecture that you will be responsible for knowing. In general, having read the material beforehand will also permit you to be more selective in the taking of your notes. You will then be in a better position to follow the material covered in class. You are expected to survey all relevant problems and to attempt to solve them if they do not appear totally obvious to you. There is no harm in trying and failing to obtain a solution for a problem. At least you should determine where you ran into difficulties with a problem before you go for help. As a rule of thumb you are well advised to plan to spend on the order of 6 hours a week outside of the lecture on the preparation and understanding of the covered material and any assigned problems.

 

Grading policy: The course grade reflects the quality of all the work done. A grade of A will be awarded only for outstanding performance, skill and knowledge. A grade of F will be given if the course requirements are not met (attendance, completion of assignments, participating in evaluation procedures). An incomplete grade of I will be given only if some unusual circumstance prevents a student from participating in the final exam. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructor prior to the final exam date about a possible I grade. In such a case the student also needs to make arrangements with the instructor prior to the end of the term about when and how to make up the missed work in due time to avoid that the I automatically lapses to an F grade.

 

Exam policy: The overall grade for the course is determined based on the following components:

1. First in-class midterm exam: 25 % or 75 points

2. Second in-class midterm exam: 25 % or 75 points

3. Final exam: 40 % or 120 points

4. Homework, Quizzes, etc.: 10 % or 30 points

 

1.      The first in-class midterm exam is on Thursday, October 4, 2007. This exam deals with the material covered in chapters 8, 9, 17

(up to and including section 17.2).

2.      The second in-class midterm exam is on Thursday, November 8, 2007. This exam additionally deals with the material covered in chapters 10, 11

(up to and including section 11.9).

3.      The final exam is set by the University to be on Wednesday, December 19, 2007 from 14:45 to 16:45. The room of the final two-hour exam is Social Science 5206 or 5208, depending on your discussion section . About one half of the final exam will be dealing with the new material covered since the second midterm exam (from chapters 12 and 13). The rest of the exam could be from any part of the course.

 

Most of the problems on the exams will be more or less like the problems in the above listing or the problems discussed in the lecture. In addition there may also be one more difficult challenge problems on each exam. Some formulas may be provided on the exams. Crib sheets will not be permitted on the exams.

Note that there will be no make-up exams given without a written excuse from your physician. Unexcused absences from an exam will result in a score of zero points for that exam.

This policy is firm.


 

Calculator policy: The use of a scientific calculator (not a programmable or graphing calculator) will be permitted on the exams. In case of doubt, show the instructor any machine you plan to use well ahead of the exams in order to find out if its use will be allowed. Outside of the exam context you are encouraged to use any computational devices which will further your grasp of calculus. For instance, the Campus Computer Labs are available for your use.

The Student Edition Maple computer algebra system is available for students registered in this course at a substantial discount. Students interested in making use of this opportunity should contact the instructor to receive information on how to make use of this option.

 

Office hours: Until further notice the lecturer's office hours are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 1:30, and Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. or by special appointment. It is a good idea to call ahead at (608)-263-6395 to set up or confirm any special appointments. Office hours provide you with an opportunity to discuss some mathematics or other topics with me on a more personal basis.

 

Policy on cheating: Any kind of cheating is unacceptable behavior. If cheating is found to occur consequences will result. In certain situations you may be cited to appear before the Student Conduct Policy Committee and sanctions could be imposed. Avoid this kind of trouble by all means.

 

GETTING HELP

1.      Instructor Office Hours: Your first source of help is your teaching assistant and instructor who have posted office hours. If you have a conflict with these hours, try to make a special appointment.

2.      Private Tutors: The receptionist on the second floor of Van Vleck has a list of private (for pay) tutors.

3.      Kleene Math Library: The mathematics department's library is located in B224 Van Vleck Hall. A copy of the text is on reserve there.

4.      The Math Department Faculty Diversity Liaison is Prof. Leslie Smith. She has information available concerning diversity and multicultural issues (e.g. support services, academic internships and grants/fellowships). She is also available to discuss minority students' concerns about mathematics courses. Prof. Smith can be reached at (608)-263-3054, lsmith@math.wisc.edu and has her office on the second floor of Van Vleck Hall and a webpage reference at http://www.math.wisc.edu/~algcoord/FML.html
