### WEEK 15: May 1 - May 2

Homework due Monday, May 1:

This included six antiderivatives and problems 17 and 21a from section 4.4. AFTER you finish working through them, check your final answers in the back of the text where possible. Note that the text does not provide full solutions, just final answers. It is important that you are able to explain how to obtain the answers - the solution is the most important part, much more important than the final answer!!! Although these are not going to be collected, you should be sure that they make sense to you and ask me, the Math Intern or a classmate for help if you are having difficulty with any of the concepts. If you are not yet confident with the material, I encourage you to do other odd numbered questions until you are.

If you are not yet confident with the material, I encourage you to do other odd numbered questions until you are.
• Week 2 Lab is due at the beginning of Monday's class! One from each group. Be sure you meet with your group to review each other's final write-ups prior to Monday's class, so that everyone agrees that each group member's set of solutions is a good one. I will roll the die to see which group member will turn in her/hir/his paper. Be sure you send your lab to class with someone else if there is a reason you cannot be there!!!
• Work practice exercises on Section 1.3 on WeBWorK. Note that Questions 5 and 6 only allow TWO submissions, not the thirteen tries you normally get. Read the definitions carefully! This is due Monday at 11:00am online. Remember that it is recommended that you print out a hard copy of this before trying to submit the problems online.
• Guess what? NO Reading Assignment due Monday. If you feel like looking ahead, check out Section 2.7 (yes, we will be skipping and coming back to Section 2.3 afterwards).

The Week 1 Lab Key has been taken off line now. If you have questions about it, please send me an email.

Last chance to bring me your picture if you forgot to bring it to your appointment! Be sure to bring it to class or office hours to increase your grade on the Homework 0!

### WEEK 1: January 17-20

Welcome to Calculus I!!!

Homework due Thursday, January 19:

Although I will not normally assign homework to be due on non-class days, this week we will need to in order to get started and refresh our memories. Please complete the following:
• Orient yourself to WeBWorK, where you will be completing assignments roughly three times a week. Read these pages for instructions about syntax and an introduction to how the system works: WeBWorK Instructions and FAQs, WeBWorK Syntax and List of Functions.
• Read the yellow Syllabus and the salmon Homework Guidelines. We went through much of this in class, but you should read all the details and make sure you don't have any questions about either document. Also be sure to record the exam dates in your personal calendar/planner. Remember there are no make-ups.
• Familarize yourself with this website. Note that there is a link at the top of the page to our syllabus and to the homework guidelines, should you lose the ones I handed out in class. The syllabus has a lot of vital information on it and you will likely want to refer back to it regularly. Also at the top of the page is a link to my grade scale. This will let you know what percentage you need to earn in order to obtain specific grades. In addition, there are links to our WeBWorK homepage and the websites with instructions and tips for WeBWorK.
• Complete the Reading Assignment for Section 1.1 on this handout. Be sure to complete the Quick Check Questions while you are reading and check your answers at the end of the section. (You need not write down the Quick Check Questions, but they are helpful to do. Answers to the Quick Check questions are at the end of each section.) Since this is review, you should feel very comfortable with this material. This is due Thursday at 1:30pm in lab.
• Practice using WeBWorK with the WeBWorKIntro assignment which can be accessed on the WeBWorK Home Page for Our Class. This is due Thursday at 5:00pm.
• Write an autobiographical essay as assigned at the end of the syllabus ("Homework 0"). This is due Thursday at 1:30pm in lab, however, you have a free extension to Friday at 12:20pm in class if you need more time.

Homework due Friday, January 20:

• Review pre-calculus material with the WeBWorK Calculus Prerequisites assignment. This is due Friday at 11:00am. (Note that you can see all assigned WeBWorK Homework Sets by logging into the general site and clicking on Homework Sets in the lefthand tool bar. Clicking the above link takes you directly to the Review assignment.)
• Free Extension: Write an autobiographical essay as assigned at the end of the syllabus ("Homework 0"). This is due Thursday at 1:30pm in lab, however, you have a free extension to Friday at 12:20pm in class if you need more time.
