Homework Policy

• There will be two separate parts to your homework assignments. The first, called WeBWork, is to be done on a computer and submitted via the web. These assignment will be due at 10:00 am on the subsequent class day. You will only be able to submit the assignment during the time that it is open; at 10 am on the due date, the assignment will close and the correct answers will be available to view.


• The second part of the homework consists of several problems which will be assigned weekly. These problems are to be written up and handed in. These problem sets are:

  Homework #1	covers Lectures 1–3	due Monday 1/11
  Homework #2	covers Lectures 4–6	due Wednesday 1/20
  Homework #3	covers Lectures 7–9	due Monday 1/25
  Homework #4	covers Lectures 10–12	due Monday 2/1
  Homework #5	covers Lectures 13–15	due Monday 2/8

  Homework #8	covers Lectures 21–23	due Monday 3/1
  Homework #9	covers Lectures 24–26	due Monday 3/8

Textbook

• This course has an optional textbook, Calculus (6th edition) by James Stewart (available at Wheelock Books). However, most any calculus book which covers multivariable calculus will serve as an acceptable reference.

The Honor Principle

• On Exams: No help given or received. No calculators or computers are allowed.
  

• On Homework: Collaboration is permitted and encouraged -- a discussion of the general idea of the problem(s) with instructors, tutors, fellow students and others is desirable. However, each student is expected to complete his or her assignments individually and independently. Computing devices are allowed on homework.
  

Tutorials

• Tutorial sessions will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7–9pm and Sundays from 4–6pm in Kemeny 008.


• Also note that the Tutor Clearinghouse may have private one-on-one tutors available for Math 8. The tutors are students who have taken the course and have done well in it, and are trained by the Academic Skills Center. If a student receives financial aid, the College will pay for three hours of tutoring per week. If you would like to have a tutor, please click here for more information.

Study Groups

• A study group is a small group of students who meet together regularly once a week with the aid of a trained leader to discuss concepts, confusions and insights into course material. The main role of the study group is to help students organize their thoughts, test their understanding by asking and answering questions, learn how to approach the material and understand the basic concepts involved. Each group is unique, contains students with different backgrounds and abilities, and determines its own pace and the material that will be covered.

Disabilities

• Students with learning, physical, or psychiatric disabilities enrolled in this course who may need disability-related accommodations are encouraged to meet with your instructor before the end of the second week of the term. All discussions will remain confidential, although the Student Accessibility Services office may be consulted.
