Exams: There will be in-class midterms on Monday February 23 and Wednesday April 8, and a COMPREHENSIVE FINAL exam on Wednesday May 13, 1:10pm - 4:00pm. Notes, books, and calculators will not be permitted for exams. Please bring your student ID to the exam. NO MAKE UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN. If you have time conflicts with above exam times, please register for a different Calculus III section. If you have any problem with the grading of your exam, you must bring it to my attention immediately (the same day the tests are returned)! Otherwise, I'll not be able to make any changes.

Homework: There will be a weekly homework assignments posted on CourseWorks . The homeworks will be due the following week on Wednesday 2.40pm, in class. No late homework will be accepted. Solutions to homework problems will be posted on CourseWorks each Wednesday after the class. The first assignment will be due on January 28. I'll drop the lowest homework score before determining your final course grade. You may collaborate on the homework problems, but you must write your own solutions. Please staple your homework before handing it in. TA will grade two problems carefully on each homework and check the rest. If you have questions about the homework, it is best to ask during my office hours. Any questions about homework grading should be first addressed to the teaching assistant. TA's office hours are in the Barnard Help Room, 333 Milbank Hall.

Grading: Homework - 25%, Midterm 1 - 20%, Midterm 2 - 20%, Final Exam - 35%. Grades will be assigned according to the following scheme: A+ = 97- 100, A = 93 - 96.9, A- = 90 - 92.9, B+ = 87 - 89.9, B = 83 - 86.9, B- = 80 - 82.9, C+ = 77 - 79.9, C = 73 - 76.9, C- = 70 - 72.9, D = 60 - 69.9, F = 59 and below. In order for you to succeed in this course make sure you read the textbook, do the homework assignments, listen to the lecture, and ask questions if there is anything you don't understand.

Academic integrity: Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated! Cheating on the exams will result in an "F" grade for the entire semester. Cheating includes bringing notes into exams, glancing at neighbors exams and copying the homework of a fellow student. Any appearance of cheating will be reported to the Dean of Students office. Students will be responsible for the policy of Columbia University concerning academic honesty.

Class conduct: Students are responsible for everything that is announced or discussed in class. You are expected to attend all lectures. Students who miss lectures will find it very difficult to succeed on the examinations. Late arrivals or early departures are disruptive and distracting and should be avoided. Please refrain from talking during class; it is disruptive to your fellow students and to me. You are encouraged to drop this class if you do not plan to attend regularly.
