Textbook: Calculus by Robert T. Smith and Roland B. Minton (3rd edition)
Syllabus
Homework:
Homework will not be collected, but you are supposed to do them all.
REMEMBER: the more problems you do, the better you understand the material.
Students are encouraged to work together on homework sets.
There will be approximately one quiz per week in the discussion session
on Thursday, and no quiz during the exam weeks.
There are two to four short questions in one quiz.
The quiz problems will be either the same as, or very similar to those
from the homework. Thus, if a student has made a good attempt at the
homework, he/she should do well on the quiz.
One lowest quiz grade will be dropped from the final grade calculation.
Exams: There will be two midterm exams and a comprehensive final exam.
Midterm 1: Wednesday, April 29, 4:00 - 4:50 pm
Midterm 2: Friday, May 29, 4:00 - 4:50 pm
Final exam: Wednesday, June 10, 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
The exams are "closed book" – no books, no notes, no
graphing calculators, no labtop comptuer or equivalent technology, etc. You
may use the scientific calculator.
Picture I.D. is required and must be presented upon request.
There are no early exams. A late exam is only possible for a
written legitimate documented reason. If approved, the maximum possible score
on a late exam is a 70. Note that student athletes, participating in a
UCI athletic event and with appropriate documentation, are exempt from
this rule. You must take your exams with the lecture for which you are registered.

includes receiving a zero on the work in question.
