Math 2210 - Intensive Calculus III

• August 9th The final exam is now graded, and the grades are posted on WebCT. The final exam and its solutions are posted on the class website. Final grades have been calculated, and are also posted on WebCT. To remind, the quizzes are worth 20% of the final grade, and the two lowest quiz scores are dropped. The two best midterms are each worth 20%, the worst midterm 10%, and the final 30%. If a student did better on her final than on her worst midterm, the final grade replaced the worst midterm score. This means that the final would be worth 40% and the worst midterm worth nothing if the second worst midterm were better than the final, and the final would be worth 50%, the worst midterm worth nothing, and the second worst midterm 10% if the final exam score were better than the second worst midterm. I know this might be a bit confusing, so if you have questions, please email me. The final grades are as mentioned posted on WebCT, but are not posted on Campus Information Systems, and will not be until Friday evening. If you would like to discuss your final grade with me, or you would like to pick up a copy of your final exam, please email me or call me to let me know and we can arrange a time. I should be in my office most of the day every day this week. The final grades were quite good for this class, and it's been one of the strongest math classes I've ever taught. So, good job to you all, thank you for a great three and a half weeks, and I wish you the best in all you do. -Dylan

The tenth quiz and its solutions are on the class webpage. I decided to make the quiz out of 30 points, so any points above 30 will be counted as extra credit. Remember to wear a nerdy shirt to class tomorrow for an extra credit point.

Those quizzes are now graded, and those grades are posted on WebCT. The solutions are now posted on the class website. We decided in class that the quizzes will now be out of 40 points, and I will determine the amount each question is worth before the quiz, and will put that amount on the quiz. The previous quiz scores will all be multiplied by (8/3) when calculating their impact on your final grade.


• July 22nd - Today was our second midterm exam. The midterm should be graded, and grades should be posted, by class on Monday. Also, the solutions will be posted by then as well. On Monday we'll have a quiz on sections 12.6 through 12.8. Have a nice long weekend.


• July 21st - Today we finished section 12.6, and covered sections 12.7 and 12.8. The exam tomorrow will be on sections 12.1 through 12.8. So, all of chapter 12 exception section 12.9. Quiz 6 has been graded, and the quiz along with its solutions are now posted on the website. Note there was a typo on the quiz. The quiz posted on the website has the typo corrected, but its pointed out in the solutions. For most people the typo wasn't a problem, and I believe only one student's answer addressed the typo. I awarded this student full points for the question. If you think you deserve more points on question 3 as a result of this typo, please let me know and if it's reasonable I'll give them to you. There will be office hours and a review session before the exam tomorrow. You'll have 2 hours for the exam, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. If you have any questions or issues, please let me know.

• July 13th - Today we covered sections 11.2 and 11.3. The quiz tomorrow will be on these sections. Note the quiz tomorrow will not cover section 11.4 on the cross product. Also, there were some concerns about the lack of formulas on the quiz today, and it was mentioned that Kelly allowed students to use a formula sheet for quizzes in calculus I and calculus II. So, in keeping with continuity, I'll allow students to use a formula sheet on a quiz. Don't worry about using a 3 by 5 card. A usual sheet of paper is fine. Front and back is fine as well. The scores for today's quiz are now posted on WebCT. The quiz and its solution set are posted below. Finally, remember to wear a nerdy shirt to class on Friday to get an extra credit point on the midterm.


• July 12th - Today was the first day of class. We covered the syllabus and went over the plan for the next four weeks. Then we covered sections 10.4 and 11.1. I gave a "get to know you" quiz on which everybody who took it will receive 15 out of 15 points. Tomorrow will be our first real quiz, and it will cover sections 10.4 and 11.1. Also, tomorrow I will have my first office hours, and we'll have our first review session. Finally, PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN THE SCHEDULE. I thought for Pioneer Day we'd have July 26th off. That's not the case. We have July 23rd off. So, next week Thursday will an exam day, there will be no class on Friday, and there will be class on July 26th. This has all been updated in the class schedule.


• July 9th - The website for the class is (obviously) up and running. Class begins on Monday, July 12th. You can find the syllabus and other related administrative information here, along with the class notes. As the class goes on, I'll be posting announcements, exams, exam solutions, and other class material on this page. I'll see you on Monday!
