Help

Don't let your questions go unanswered or your confusion unresolved. There are several resources available when you want some help outside of lecture and discussion:

Any TA's Office Hours: See the table below.
Uri's Office Hours: 513 Van Vleck, Monday 3:15-4:15PM, Wednesday 12:00-1:00PM, or by appointment.
Math Lab: a free, drop-in tutorial program in B227 Van Vleck. Starting September 14, tutoring is available Monday through Thursday from 3:30–8:30PM and Sunday 3:30–6:50PM.
Mathematics Tutorial Program: Free small group tutoring is offered to students who are in danger of getting a D or F, for students who have not had a math course in several years, or for students who are retaking the course. A significant time commitment is required. Any student can apply to the program, but after the first two weeks of the semester, a referral from an instructor is required. Students may apply in room 321 Van Vleck.
GUTS: Greater University Tutoring Service offers free small group, individual, and drop-in tutoring at various locations around campus. It is staffed mostly by student volunteers.
Private Tutors: A list of tutors is available at the link or from the receptionist on the second floor of Van Vleck.

Grading

There will be homeworks collected once a week, quizzes, two midterms, and a final. The grade breakdown will be: 20% section grade (including quizzes and homeworks), 20% each midterm, 40% final.
Section grades will be adjusted at the end of the semester, so that even if your TA grades harder than another TA, that will not adversely effect your grade.
