This page is for section 71 of Math 151 (Calculus I).
The course grade will be computed as follows:
- Recitation grade..........100pts total
- Workshops.................100pts total
- Lecture Quizzes...........50pts total
- Midterms (2)..............100pts each
- Final ..........................200pts (Thursday, 5/4, 4-7pm, in SEC 206)
- Total possible pts........650
Final Exam
The final is on Thursday, 5/4, 4-7pm, in SEC 206. Review problems
with solutions, and a copy of the formula sheet, are all available
on the
course webpage.
Workshops
Every week, you will work in groups on workshop problems. In general,
these will be harder problems that require more effort. As you work, you
should discuss your ideas with your classmates and ask each other questions.
Afterwards, you will be told which problem to write up and hand in. Your
write-ups should be neat and written in complete sentences. You should
explain your answer clearly, as if the reader were a fellow student or
a job interviewer, leaving no gaps to be filled in. Make sure to clearly
state the meaning of each variable you use. If you used a diagram
in solving the problem, include the diagram in your write-up, making sure
to label everything. A good sample write-up can be found
here . At the end, write the grade that you think your write-up
deserves, as a score out of 10. Remember that both accurately solving
the problem and clearly describing the solution are important for your
grade.
Your workshop write-ups will be due at the next workshop. NO LATE
WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED.
- Workshop 1 writeup due Tuesday, 1/24, problem 1(h),(i),(j).
- Workshop 2 writeup due Tues, 1/31, problem 3.
- Workshop 3 writeup due Tues, 2/7, problem 1.
- Workshop 4 writeup due Tues, 2/14, problem 2(a),(b),(d),(e)
- Workshop 5 writeup due THURS, 2/23, problem 2.
- Workshop 6 writeup due Tues, 2/28, problem 3.
- Workshop 7 writeup due Tues, 3/7, problem 1.
- Workshop 8 writeup due Tues, 3/21, problem 1.
- Workshop 9 writeup due Tues, 3/28, problem 3.
- Workshop 10 writeup due Tues, 4/4, problem 2.
- Workshop 11 writeup due Tues, 4/18, problem 1(c),(e).
- Workshop 12 writeup due Tues, 4/25, problem 1.
Review/Bonus Work
Write these up less formally than workshops, but they still need
to be clear. Each one handed in on time adds up to 5 points to your
class total.
- Due Tues, 4/18: Workshop 11 problem 2(b).
- Due Tues, 4/25: Workshop 12 problem 3.
- Due Mon, 5/1: Workshop 13 problem 2.
Homework
You are strongly encouraged to do the
suggested
homework problems listed on the course webpage. Note that the
schedule in our section may differ from the one given on the suggested
syllabus. You will be given more specific assignments in class, which
will also be listed here.
Each assignment should be completed by the recitation on Friday. In the
recitation, the TA will go over the homework due that day, answering
questions that you may have. In addition, she will give a short quiz
covering some aspect of the homework. So come prepared!
The assignments given are all in Stewart's 5th Edition unless specified
otherwise.
