HONORS CALCULUS III
Instructor: Howard A. Levine, Department of Mathematics, 410 Carver
Office Hours: MTWThF 9:00-9:50 or
by appointment
Textbook: Calculus (early vectors) by Stewart
Course Rules
1. Grading: There will be three hour exams at 100 points each and
one final exam at 200 points. Thus the grade will be based on a total
of 500 points. The grading scale is as follows: Greater than 90%, A, A-;
[80%,90%], B- ,B, B+; [65%, 80%), C-,C, C+; [55%,65%), D+, D. Any percentage
less than 55% is an F.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be no make up examinations. You will
be allowed to drop one of the three hour examinations only under the
one following circumstances:
a. You have a medical condition for which you agree to supply me with a note
from a physician and a phone number for that physician which I will use
to verify that the note is indeed as alleged.
b. You bring me a note (and phone number) from a priest,
pastor, rabbi, mullah, drill instructor, or other official as might
arise in the case of a
death in the family, a National Guard commitment or a traffic
accident for example. You are expected to arrange your work hours around your
class time, not vice-versa.
c. You bring to my attention some other reason which meets
with my approval, BEFORE the examination date in question. An example
might be your participation in an official university function which
would require you to be out of town.
2. Homework notebook. I will not pick up routine homework problems.
I expect the students to do the routine practice problems on their own. (See
the syllabus below.) I will not collect them.
However, all of the problems on the hour exams
will be of the type found among these practice problems.
Moreover, you are expected to keep a notebook of so called "Notebook Problems". Every few weeks I will collect this notebook and grade these problems. NOTE: Although there will be roughly four or five problems of this type per week, I will
only grade one or two from each week's assignment. I will determine
which of them after I collect the sets. Message: Do them all!
I will record the results of this
visit in the grade book by assigning a grade of 0-20 points. These points
will be figured into the total of 500 points as bonus points. The total
number additional points that can be earned in this way will
be 50. In other words, an additional 10% is available to augment
the final percentage. Consequently, your total final percentage can be
as much as 110%.
I expect the problems to be done neatly and completely. Chicken
scratching and illegible work is unacceptable. The quality of the work is
every bit as important as the quantity. Write them up as you would
a book report or essay. A good format to follow is the format
the text book uses for the examples in the text. You may consult with each
other on the problems and their solutions. You may also ask me to give hints
for solutions in class.
