 Math 3 - Calculus

Homework
Homework must be submitted by 8:00 a.m. on the day it is due. The homework problem sets will be done over the web using the WeBWorK system. This problem-generator allows you to get a hard copy of an assignment, input the answers, submit the problems for grading, and go over the correct answers. It even lets you review your record so that you can see how well you are doing. Moreover, you will be able to practice solving similar problems.

All Math 3 homework assignments will be posted on WeBWorK weekly, with for example problem set "day05" on WeBWorK corresponding to "class 5" on the Daily Schedule.

Answers to a given homework set will be available in WeBWorK at 1:00 p.m. on the day it is due. In addition to the answers provided by WeBWorK, we will post the written-out solutions to the practice1 version of the problems so that you can see the process involved in solving a particular problem.

Exam Study Questions
Study questions will be posted here before each of the exams this term. The questions will be taken from past years' exams and current material. The questions should provide some indication of the nature and depth of typical exam questions, but they should not be regarded as an exhaustive study guide.

  • Hour Exam 1 Practice Problems: Taken from previous Math 3 hour-exams.

    Our hour exam in the fall of 2002 is on Wednesday, October 23, 3:30-4:45. It will have ten multiple choice problems worth a total of 60 points and three long-answer questions worth 40 points.

    Be sure to review all past homework carefully. You can even login to WeBWorK as a practice user (username and password are both practice1, or if busy practice2, etc.) to get a new version of a problem. There are also quizzes and examples on the section web pages. Reviewing all of these problems is the best way to get ready for the exam because the practice problems above do not necessarily cover all the concepts for which you are responsible. We do not have time in an hour to test everything we have studied. However, the test from last year will give you a good sense of how well you know the material.

  • Hour Exam 1 Solutions: Answers to the Multiple Choice and Long Answer sections from this year's fall 2002 exam.

  • Hour Exam 2 Practice Problems: Taken from previous Math 3 hour-exams.

    The actual hour exam this year, on Wednesday, November 13, 3:30-4:45 will have ten multiple choice problems worth a total of 60 points and three long-answer questions worth 40 points. The exam will concentrate on material from day11 through day19.

    Be sure to review all past homework carefully. You can even login to Webwork as a practice user (username and password are both practice1, or if busy practice2, etc.) to get a new version of a problem. Reviewing homework problems and class notes is the best way to get ready for the exam because the practice problems above do not necessarily cover all the concepts for which you are responsible. Also remember to take a number 2 pencil to the exam.

Holistic Evaluation of Written Work
We will be evaluating all written work in a holistic way. Toward that end, we have developed a set of guidelines that we will use in grading, and that you may use in developing your own written responses. You can learn from the holistic evaluation document just how we will be grading your work. Our aim is to establish a set of guidelines that we will all agree to follow. We have given examples for both 10-point and 50-point questions; however, we will scale the numbers according to how much a given question actually is worth. There should be little, if any, disagreement about the evaluation of a written assignment in Math 3.
