Enrollment Questions

If you want to switch to another section, you have to do it yourself on TeleBears. If you are on the waiting list, you should contact Babara Peavy at the Mathematics Department. During the first week of classes you should register with your GSI, otherwise your place in the section will be cancelled.

Grading Policy

The grade for the course will be computed according to the following proportions: Sections vary by the number and by the quality of students. If some sections will have better average grades for quizzes this should not be surprising. Quizzes will have approximately the same difficulty level in all sections and grading policy will be uniform.

Final

Do not take this course if you have a conflict in the final exam schedule (check the exam group numbers of your courses in the Schedule of Classes, Fall 2011). This course is in exam group 1 . The final exam date and time: Dec. 12, 8-11am

Incompletes

Official University policy states that an incomplete can be given only for valid medical excuses with a doctor's certificate and only if, at the point the grade is given, the student has a passing grade (a C or better). If you are behind in the course, an incomplete is not an option!

Homework Assignments

Stewart, Single Variable Calculus- Earlier Transendentals for UC Berkeley, Cengage Learning, 2008. You are requested to do the assigned reading before each lecture.Note that mathematical texts are not meant to be read like novels: very often you will come across passages that must be read many times before they make sense to you.
Never fall behind in this course, either in the reading assignments or in the homework assignments.
Problem sets get rather heavy at times. This is intentional. Sometimes there is simply no substitute for repetitive drills. Problem (and reading) assignments are subject to change.
It is normal when a student is trying to solve at home some extra, more complicated problems from the textbook which were not assigned for homework.
The Mathematics department is unable to hire graders for problem sets. However, problem sets will be assigned and collected on Tuesday (if you have a section on Tuesday and Thursday) and Wedesdays (if you have a section on Monday and Wednesday). Answer sheets will be available here online every Wednesday.
