Guide to Academic Integrity

Text: Calculus for Biology and Medicine, Second Edition, by Claudia Neuhauser

Prerequisites Course Math 3B (C- or better).

Class Meetings This course will meet four days a week. Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays class will be conducted by me. Please feel free to ask questions in lecture, though none regarding homework problems. I do problems during class and I am more than happy to help you with homework problems during my office hours. On Tuesdays or Thurdays your TA will lead a discussion. In your discussion section, the TA will discuss homework problems that have been turned in and answer questions, except those about homework problems that are still due. The TAs will help with those homework problems during their office hours.

The Five Minutes Rule If you happen to find me anywhere, (almost) anytime, I will have at least five minutes to talk to you.

Homework assignments, their due dates and the rules can be found here. No late homework will be accepted under any circumstances.

Exams
Midterm One on Friday, 3rd of February 2006 at 9:00-9:50AM in DODD 147

These times and dates are fixed in stone, so make sure now that you have no conflicting plans. No make up exams will be given under any circumstances. See also under Grades.You must bring a picture ID to the exams. No graphing calculators, computers, or notes are allowed during exams.

Before exams are returned in discussion, I will take a random selection of exams to be copied. So when you come back for a regrade, make sure you know what you added later on to the exam and what was originally there.
After the midterm is returned I will post a deadline on the exams page on the web until which a regrade can be requested. Be aware that a regrade means that your exam will be graded from scratch, and it is possible that you will receive a lower score than originally given, if I decide that the original grade was too high.

Final Exams are kept for one quarter, stored for a second to be picked up and recycled soon thereafter.

Math Help Besides the Professor's and TA's office hours additional help is available M-R 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. in the Student Math Center located in MS 3974, where undergraduates math majors as well as graduate math majors will be able to help you with mathematics.
