Syllabus for Math 150

How this Course is Structured

Calculus II meets three times a week for lectures. After each lecture I will assign homework problems. Homework is to be done in groups; I will ask you to form groups of three. Each group will turn in one copy of the homework. If you prefer to work on the homework alone, you may do so, but please let me know in advance.

We will have two exams in the course of the term. These exams are tentatively scheduled for January 24 and February 14. The final will be on March 13 at 8:30.

Grading Policy

Your grade in this course will be determined as follows:

Homework                                          25%

Midterm exams                                  20% each

Final exam                                          35%

If the class average falls below 75%, I will grade on a curve. Should the average rise above 75%, I will simply grade on a straight scale; 90 and above is an A, 80 to 89 a B, etc.
