will be assigned daily, see the syllabus for the problems due. You are responsible for all the problems assigned (i.e. any of it could appear on the exams). The problems assigned during the week will be collected in Quiz Section on the following Tuesday.

Unfortunately, the amount of homework that can be graded is limited. Two of the problems will be chosen at random to grade each week. They will be worth 3 points each. You will also get up to 4 points for completeness. (For example, you would get 3 points if you appeared to have done 3/4 of the the problems.) This makes a total of 10 points possible for each assignment. The lowest weekly homework score will be dropped. No late homework will be accepted.

There will be a 20 minute quiz every Tuesday, except for the weeks of the exams and the last week. These will usually cover the homework from the preceeding week. They will be very similar to the homework problems. The TA's will grade them and return them to you the following Thursday. The quizzes are closed book/closed notes. There are no make up quizzes, but I do drop your 2 lowest quiz scores.

There will be 2 midterm exams. They will be given on Thursday, January 29 and Thursday, February 26 as listed in the syllabus. They are meant to take 50 minutes but you can take the full 70 minutes of Quiz Section. You must bring a Photo ID to all exams.

The final exam will take place from 1:30pm to 4:20pm on Saturday, March 13 in ARC 147 (see Ground rules for common finals).

Rules for taking exams

You are allowed to use one handwritten 8.5 by 11 sheet of notes.

GRAPHING CALCULATORS ARE NOT ALLOWED on exams or quizzes. You may use a scientific calculator.

There are no make-up exams. If you have a compelling and well-documented reason for missing a test, speak to the professor about it.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays you will meet with a Teaching Assistant in a smaller group. This gives you a chance to get more of your questions answered. Thursday's quiz section will be 80 minutes long so that, in addition to getting help with your homework, there will be time for a worksheet that you can work on while the TA circulates and answers questions. Most weeks there will be a quiz on Tuesday. You will hand in homework on Tuesdays to your TA and they will return it to you, probably a week later. The midterm exams will be held in Quiz Section.

The TA's are:

You can also use the smaller Single Variable Calculus but only if you are sure you will not be taking Math 126.

Note: We are using the new 5th edition this year and the homework problems are different from the 4th edition. However, if you own the 4th edition and do not wish to buy the new book, we are providing the homework from the 5th edition on-line at 5th Edition HW. But it is your responsibility to make sure that you are doing the right problems.

Calculators

You will need a scientific calculator for Math 125. It must have trigonometric functions, like Sin and Cos, as well as logarithms and exponentials (ln and exp). I recommend the HP-6S, which costs about $15 at the U Bookstore. The Sharp EL-500LB is also a good choice. It is a little less easy to use, but costs only $10. GRAPHING CALCULATORS ARE NOT ALLOWED on quizzes and exams in Math 125 this Winter. A graphing calculator is any device with a multiline display that has the ability to graph mathematical functions. Examples are the TI-85 or the HP-48G. See your instructor before the first quiz if you are not certain if your calculator is acceptable.
