            Final Exam, Monday, May 18, 8:00-10:30

TEXTBOOK:  McCallum et.al., Calculus, Multivariable, 4th ed., ISBN 978-0-471-48480-6.

GRADING:  Labs (including the lab exam) —25%, quizzes—10%, exams 1 & 2—20% each, final exam 25%.  A-B-C-D ranges are 90-80-70-60 with the top/bottom 2% of those ranges for +/-.  No extra credit will be possible other than that available on labs.

Regular attendance is encouraged and roll is taken. However, attendance is not taken into consideration when calculating your grade.

LABS: All labs will use MAPLE; you must have access to this program. All WCSU computers have such access, so you will need a WCSU computer account by Thursday, January 29. You may obtain an account from the computer lab in Haas Library. If you have home access to the internet, you will want to access MAPLE through https://citrix.wcsu.edu. The first time you access this program, you will need to download material as instructed.

QUIZZES: A quiz will be given near the end of class each Monday. It will consist of 1-3 problems from the homework assignment given the previous week. That constitutes 14 quizzes. Missed quizzes cannot be made up. However, the low 4 will be discarded.

If you miss an exam, contact the instructor as soon as possible by e-mail (preferably) or by voice-mail, indicating what caused the absence, when you expect to be back, and how you can be contacted.  Make-up exams will be given only under extraordinary circumstances with documentation.  If you miss a class, you are responsible for getting the notes and assignments.

INCOMPLETES will be given only for students who have completed work up to final exam time and have a valid reason for missing the final exam, unless other circumstances have been agreed to in advance.

ACADEMIC DISHONISTY includes copying someone else’s assignment, quiz, or exam.  Involvement in dishonest or unethical or dishonest behavior may result in University or course disciplinary action.  No sharing of calculators or use of cell phones, etc., as a calculator, is allowed during exams.

WITHDRAWAL after the April 9 deadline will be granted only under extraordinary circumstances. Make sure you contact the instructor before that deadline if you are uncertain about the advisability of completing the course. Withdrawals are never given after a completed final exam.

CLASSROOM ETTIQUITE: Chatting with neighbors, wandering in and out of class, checking voicemail, etc., are distracting to the instructor and fellow students.  Please do not engage in such behavior.  Turn off cell phones.  Repeated violation of these behavior standards will result in lowering of grade or removal from the class.
