| DICUSSION SECTION: |
The discussion section will be a time for students to get help with homework, review material covered in class, and gain additional mastery of the material. While attendance is not required it is strongly recommended that you go. While preferably you should go to the section which you are enrolled, you may (at the discretion of the TAs) attend a different section. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HOMEWORK: |
Homeworks will be assigned on a weekly basis. The assignments are posted online. Homework assignments will be collected in class on the day they are due. NO late homework assignments will be accepted, however the two lowest homework scores will be dropped. Students should first attempt to complete the homework assignments by themselves and then seek outside help (i.e., other students, the TA, the instructor or the Student Math Center (SMC)) for any problems they are not able to complete. Students are expected to write up the problems by themselves and not copy off of others work. |

| TEXTBOOK: | Multivariable Calculus, 6th Edition, by James Stewart. We will cover various sections from chapters 11-15 in this quarter (more information on what we will cover can be found in the course calendar). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CALCULATORS: | A scientific calculator will be useful in doing the homework problems. Calculators will NOT be permitted on exams. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| EXAMS: | There will be two midterm exams and a final exam for the course. The first midterm will cover the first seven lectures and the material in sections 11.1, 13.1-13.5, 14.1; the second midterm will cover the subseqeunt eleven lectures and the material in sections 13.6, 14.2-14.4, 15.1-15.4; the final will be comprehensive with more emphasis on material from 15.5-15.8. (For the date of the exams consult the course calendar.) The midterms will be given during class on their scheduled dates. The exams are closed book and closed notes. Exams must be taken during the scheduled times. There will be NO makeup exams with the exception of medical emergencies or university approved absences. Taking the final exam is a requirement for passing the course. There will be no final given before the scheduled time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| GRADES: | The course grade will be determined by the cumulative percentage of scores at the end of the quarter. This is calculated by taking the BETTER of the two schemes:
10% Homework, 30% Best midterm, 10% Worst midterm, 50% Final Any issues about grading for homeworks or exams must be addressed within two weeks of the turn-in date. After that time no score changes will be allowed. Grades will be available online through the myUCLA website. |

| CHEATING: | Cheating is stupid and a serious offense. Students caught cheating will be reported. Do NOT cheat!! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
