Course Coordinator: Moshe Adrian; office Kiely Hall 603; e-mail: madrianaqc.cuny.edu
Textbook: Essential Calculus, Second Edition, by James Stewart. We will cover Sections 6.1-6.5, 5.8, 6.6, and 8.1-8.8.
Midterms: There will be three midterms.
Homework : There will be homework every week, on WebAssign. To sign up, follow these instructions: 1) Go to webassign.net 2) You will need to register, using the class key "qc 2574 7483" (without quotation marks). If you have any trouble with webassign, there is a technical support hotline at 1-800-955-8275.
Final Exam: There will be a final exam, held on
Grading: The grade will be calculated as follows: 25% Homework, 25% for each midterm, and 25% for the final. Since there are three midterms and one final, this adds up to 125%. But: you will be able to drop your lowest grade from the three midterms and final. Thus, the total grade will add up to 100% and not 125%.
