Some Comments: The goal of this class is to have students learn calculus well and then to give them fair and accurate grades. To achieve this goal, the instructor believes in serious homework problems and hard exams. Serious problems make students learn more and better. Hard exams give a better evaluation of students' learning. In other words, if you are taking 1210 calculus just to get a grade and with no intention to learn, this class is not for you.
