Assignments
There are ten credit Assignments,
accessed and submitted via MyMathLab. They are worth
10% of the course.
Midterm Tests
There are two Midterm Tests,
each being worth 20% of the course. No
Calculators are allowed.
Midterm Test 1
(October 11, 2011) – It is on PreCalculus Review,
Limits and Continuity, up to and including section 2.7.
There are two parts to the test.
Part A (20
marks). It consists of 20 10 short questions mostly of conceptual
nature. The amount of calculations required is very limited. This is to make
sure that you know the basic definitions, theorems, and facts. All questions
are taken from the “Must-Know Contents” worksheets that accompany the lectures.
To emphasize the Must-Know nature of this part, a non-zero mark will only be
awarded to Part A if you have answered at least 16 8 of the 20 10
questions correctly. In other words, if you answer 15 7 or fewer
questions correctly, you will receive a 0 for the entire Part A. Expect to
spend 15 minutes on Part A.
Part B (80 marks). This is the
problem solving section. There are four questions. Expect to spend 60 minutes
on Part B. All four questions are on Chapter 2.
Midterm Test 2
(November 8, 2011) – It is on Derivatives, up to and including section 4.1.
There are two parts to the test.
Part A (20
marks). It consists of 20 10 questions mainly of conceptual nature. The
amount of calculations required is very limited. This is to make sure that you
know the basic definitions, theorems, formulas, rules and facts. All questions
are taken from the “Must-Know Contents” worksheets that accompany the lectures.
To emphasize the Must-Know nature of this part, a non-zero mark will only be
awarded to Part A if you have answered at least 16 8 of the 20 10
questions correctly. In other words, if you answer 15 7 or fewer
questions correctly, you will receive a 0 for the entire Part A. Expect to
spend 15 minutes on Part A.
Part B (80 marks). This is the problem
solving section. There are four questions. Expect to spend 60 minutes on Part
B.
Final Examination
There will be a two-hour
final examination to be scheduled by the Registrar's Office. It is worth 50% of
the course. No calculators are allowed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you
fail the Final Exam, your grade will be no higher than D+.
ON THE OTHER HAND: If you get 95% or above on
the Final Exam, your grade will be at least A.
Date: December
13, 2011
Time: 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Place: The Red Gym
There are eight questions.
·
Question 1 (16 marks) is the Must-Know Problem.
There are eight parts. You need to get at least six of the eight parts correct
in order to receive any mark on this question. All of them are from Chapter 4.
·
Questions 2 to 8 (12 marks each) are longer
problems, some with parts. Most of them are on the materials after Midterm Test
2.
1.
There is one question on calculating limits. Review
all basic algebraic skills and l'Hôpital's rule.
Review the assignment problems. This question has two parts. Chapters 2
(Sections 2.3-2.5) and Chapter 4 (Section 4.7).
2.
There is one question on calculating derivatives.
Review all rules, formulas and the two special techniques (logarithmic
differentiation and implicit differentiation). Review the Frist
part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Review the assignment problems.
This question has two parts. Chapter 3 (Sections 3.2-3.4, 3.6-3.8) and Chapter
5 (Section 5.3)
3.
There is one question on calculating integrals.
Review all basic formulas and the substitution rule (for both indefinite and
definite integrals). Review the Second part of the Fundamental Theorem of
Calculus. Review the assignment problems. This question has two parts. Chapters
4 (Section 4.8) and 5 (Section 5.3, 5.5).
4.
There is one question on graphing functions. Review
the steps I used in class - "Frame" and "How graph
wiggles". Review the assignment problems. The derivative and the second
derivative will be given to you. Chapter 4 (Sections 4.2-4.3).
5.
There is one question on optimization problem.
Review the examples I did in class. Review the assignment problems. If you need
a formula that concerns an object of some kind of "round" shape, I
will give it to you. You are expected to know the formulas for perimeter and
area of rectangles, surface area and volume of rectangular boxes. Chapter 4
(Section 4.4).
6. There is one question on either Linear Approximation or the Mean Value Theorem. Chapter 4 (Sections 4.5-4.6).
7. You will know all about it at the time of the Exam.
Course Grade Calculation
If you fail the Final
Exam, your grade will be no higher than D+.
If you pass the Final
Exam, then your grade will be determined by the Weighted Total, calculated
according to the following:
Assignments 10%, Midterm
Tests 40%, Final Exam 50%.
The Weighted-Total to
Grade conversion will be announced at least one week before the end of the
term.
If you get 95% or above on the Final Exam, your
grade will be at least A.
