About this course

• Laboratories.
  We will meet in the lab on Thursdays or Fridays at your scheduled lab times where you will work in pairs on lab exercises designed to help you explore the calculus concepts we are struggling with. Short written reports will be required; there will be 4 labs during the term, totaling 40% of your final grade. Unless you are informed otherwise, lab reports will be due at the beginning of the next lab period.

• Examinations.
  There will be three one-hour exams. These exams will be similar to the homework, but may include lab-related questions. Each exam will count for 20% of your final grade. Together, these exams will count for 60% of your final grade.

  Tentative dates for the exams are March 31, April 14, and May 4.

• Homework.
  Problems from the text will be assigned weekly to give you practice with basic manipulation and to prepare you for the labs and projects. Doing these problems regularly is essential to your understanding of the material.
