HOMEWORK: |
There will be ten homeworks. They will be collected at the start of class on Fridays, in piles organized by discussion.
Do not submit homework by e-mail or late. No late homework will be accepted. However, the lowest three homework scores will be dropped. Write your homework with a pen or pencil, and paper. Put your name, discussion, and UID on it. You must staple your work. If your homework is not stapled, you will receive half points. Sorry - it's too cumbersome for the grader to deal with otherwise. Homework 1 - due Friday, week 1
Homework 2 - due Friday, week 2
Homework 3 - due Friday, week 3
Homework 4 - due Friday, week 4Starred problems are for review only and will not be graded.
Homework 5 - due Friday, week 5Starred problems are for your practice only and will definitely not be graded.
Homework 6 - due Friday, week 6Starred problems are for your practice only and will definitely not be graded.
Homework 7 - due Friday, week 7Starred problems are for your practice only and will definitely not be graded.
Homework 8 - due Friday, week 8Starred problems are for your practice only and will definitely not be graded.
Homework 9 - due Friday, week 9
Homework 10 - due Friday, week 10Starred problems are for your practice only and will definitely not be graded.
Assignment 11For your practice only and will not be turned in. Requested by at least one student.I encourage you to form study groups in the class with friends / people you like. When faced with a homework question, you should make sure that you understand the relevant material from lectures first. Discussing the lectures with others in your study group and/or talking to the TAs and myself can help. You should try to solve a problem by yourself first. When you have enough thoughts about it, you can talk with others in your study group about it. Working in groups is generally beneficial to your understanding and helps you learn how to communicate clearly about mathematics. However, you must write up all solutions yourself and not copy off of others work. Moreover, since crediting your collaborators is an important element of academic ethics, you should write down with whom you worked at the top of each assignment. You must also cite any sources you use other than the lecture or the textbook (other textbooks, a blog about calculus, etc.). The Student Math Center (SMC) is a useful resource. You should use it! |

EXAMS: | There will be in-class midterms on Wednesday, April 25 and Wednesday, May 23. There will be a final exam on Wednesday, June 13. There will not be any make-up exams. In particular, note that university policy requires that a student who has an undocumented absence from the final exam be given a failing grade in the course.
The exams are closed book and closed notes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
GRADES: | Your course grade will be determined as follows. Your score is calculated by taking the BETTER of the following schemes:
10% Homework, 25% Best midterm, 65% Final Grade boundaries are then determined according to what UCLA suggests for Math 32B. 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. |

TEXTBOOK: | Jon Rogawski and Colin Adams, Calculus: Multivariable. Third Edition. ISBN-13: 978-1-4641-8689-9, ISBN-10: 1-4641-8689-8. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PIAZZA: |
Piazza is a good place to ask questions and share knowledge. The effort we put in to our responses will be highly correlated with the effort you put in to asking a question. So ask good questions, and you will get good answers! Highlight precisely what you DO and DON'T understand, and what you have tried already. Also, speaking math in person is easier, so use piazza appropriately, as a resource additional to discussions and office hours, not as a replacement. Do not waste our time unless you enjoy sarcastic responses! Wasting our time can be achieved by asking questions that have been answered on the website, or answered previously on piazza, or by a class email. As an example of the correlation mentioned above, if you simply demand "tell me how to do Q5," we will either ignore you, or post the quickest answer possible without a good explanation; if you ask a question that is identical to one asked within the last day or so, we are also likely to ignore it. If we have gone over a question in office hours a million times and it shows up on piazza, that begs the question, "why weren't you in office hours?" If the question is more careful and says, "I know this was said in office hours and still don't understand THIS step," we will be more than happy to help. Happy Piazza-ing! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CALCULATORS: | A scientific calculator might help you on homework problems, but calculators will NOT be permitted on exams, and so you should not be reliant on them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CHEATING: | Cheating is stupid and a serious offense. Students caught cheating will be reported. Do NOT cheat!! |
