Grading: |
The grading for the course will be based on Quizzes, Midterm Exams, and the Final Exam. The grading scheme is:
There will be two in-class midterms in the semester. They will take place on Thursdays and be announced 1-2 weeks in advance. The final will happen after the end of classes, during finals week. Studying with your fellow students is a good idea, but collaboration on graded assignments is not permitted. The use of calculators, outside notes, or other tools from the Internet, is not permitted. Assignments and grades will be posted to the Canvas site. |

The webpage for my Fall 2022 Calculus I course is here. Old final exams can be found on the math department website here. Course material for Calculus II from previous years can be found on Prof. Sitaraman's website here. Active Calculus is a free, online textbook for learning calculus; it does not follow exactly the same outline as the Stewart book we are using, but content from Chapters 5, 6, and 8 there closely aligns with what we will learn this semester. |
