1. Like all mathematics courses, the material builds on the previous work. The small thing that you failed to understand in Week 3, may have repercussions in your performance throughout the course. It is really important not to fall behind. This cannot be overemphasized.
2. Math 0100 moves quickly through a lot of material - much more quickly than your high school math classes. Let me advise you once again not to fall behind!
3.Read the textbook. In Math 0100, you will be required to understand the ideas and apply them in a variety of settings. This course is not just about learning problem solving techniques. The way to learn new ideas is to read and think about them, and then to attempt to solve the problems. If you like to work with others on homework, be sure that you also work alone. Students who never solve problems totally on their own are often surprised by their inability to solve problems during the exams.
4. Attendance in recitation sections is *required* because your
grade depends on your quiz scores. Should you miss a lecture or a recitation, even
if you have a good reason for doing so, like an emergency or
religious observance, you are still responsible for knowing the
content of the lecture, including organizational matters such as
changes in homework assignments or exam dates.
Let me stress that there is a
strong correlation between success in Math 0100 and regular
attendance at the lectures. Attending the
lecture, be sure to:
Arrive on time. Late arrivals are distracting and
even irritating to both students and the instructor.
Leave the classroom only when the lecture is finished.
Again, early departures are both distracting and impolite.
Be prepared to participate in class with, at least, your
full attention, and hopefully, your questions and participation
in occasional brief class discussions.
In addition to the office hours of your instructors and TA's, you can get
help at the Math Resource Center.
The Math Resource Center helps students with Calculus,
both with homework problems and with concepts from lecture.
Math Rescource Center takes place Monday through Thursday
from 8-10pm in KH 105 (enter through the back door).
It is a free of charge walk-in help sessions for students.
Begins operation Jan 26.
