Students are encouraged to use calculators to gain intuition, but no calculators will be ever allowed at tests or quizzes. In this course we will rather emphasize understanding the concepts and understanding how to solve problems.

Participation. It is absolutely crucial that you ask questions during the discussion section. This is what they are for, and if you don't use it, you lose it. It is therefore important to attend them. Poor attendance can affect your final grade.

Assigned homework. This is the homework not to turn in. You need to be able to provide complete solutions for these problems. Tests and quizzes can contain problems from the assigned homework. Pay special attention to the assigned homework. It is the student's own responsibility to work on it, and to ask questions if needed. If any difficulty arises, ask your TA during a discussion section to help you. The current assigned homework appears below.
1.1 #3,15,17,23,33,39,43,47.
1.3 #17-20.
2.1 #29,33.
2.3 #51,53,55,57,59,61,63,65,67.
2.4 #5,7,9,11,13.
3.1 #11,13,15,17,19,39.
3.5 #1,3,5,7.
3.9 #6,12,14.
4.6 #16,17,20.
4.7 #17-28.
5.2 #1-11,27-28,30-32.
5.3 #5,8,10-13,17,18,46-50.
5.4 #44,46-48.
6.2 #48.
6.5 #11.
6.8 Know the table on page 474. The best way to learn this is not just by memorizing, but by understanding how this table was obtained. Graph the inverse trigonometric functions.

Written homework. This is the homework to turn in at the beginning of the discussion section when it is due. A detailed correct solution with complete explanations is required. It must be well-organized, and presented step by step. Just a correct answer does not score points. On the other hand, writing nonsense or incorrect statements reduces your grade. The rule of thumb: writing correct things is good, writing incorrect things is not. On the top of the first page write your name, MATH 220 BL1, discussion section number, homework number. Written homework will also go under the name "project", or "pr". Below is the current written homework with the due dates.
pr1 1.2 #70. Due Thursday, Sept 1.
pr2 2.1 #34. Due Thursday, Sept 15.
pr3 3.1 #47. You can use the rules from section 3.2 for this problem, if needed. Due Thursday, Sept 29.
pr4 3.4 #66. Due Thursday, Oct 13.
pr5 4.4 #15. Due Thursday, Oct 20.
pr6 4.9 #43,44. Due Thursday, Nov 3.
pr7 5.3 #43. Due Thursday, Nov 10.
pr8 6.1 #14,18. Due Thursday, Dec 1. This was the last written assignment.

Late written homework counts as 0. One lowest written assignement will be dropped to allow for emergency situations.

Online homework. The web page is http://phga.pearsoncmg.com/phga/classes/05f220bl1/. 05f220bl1 is the class number. To register, you need an access code that comes with each new textbook. If you do not have one, there are two options: exchange the book with your friend who does not use the code, or buy an access code separately. The acess code can be bought in Illini Union Bookstore on Wright Street, or directly from the publisher. Also, in the bokstore you might be able to obtain a textbook (with the code) returned recently by other students. Make sure that the code you obtain is for the right textbook; you will not be able to register otherwise.

If you have problems registering or login in, check whether the code you have is from the right textbook (listed above on this page). Here are registration instructions. Try to turn cap lock on an off when you enter login and password. If you are still experiencing a problem, go to http://www.prenhall.com/phga/html/math/ and in the right-most "Student" column click on "Technical Support". Fill in your request and wait for a reply from the publisher's technical support. Also, there is a phone number on the bottom of registration instructions where you can ask for technical support. If there are technical problems with the web page, for example if you cannot see a part of the assignment, try using another browser or another computer system, or both.

Read the working homework hints. Note that Eastern time is used for the deadlines, so you would actually need to finish the online assignment an hour before the same time in Urbana-Champaign. Do these assignments well in advance, not just before the deadline time. Below is the online homework list. Problems similar to online homework can apear on test and quizzes, and you will be required to provide complete solutions. So pay attention to the comments that the online system gives you, not only to the answers. Below are the numbers that correspond to the online homework.

The online homework system is a great tool for enhancing your skills. You will have an unlimited number of tries, before the deadline. In each assignment, the last homework you did will be graded. Make sure the last one is your best one.

Please beware that, as anything in our life, the system cannot be absolutely perfect. In some rare cases the computer does not recognise an answer, sometimes even a correct answer. If this happens, DON'T PANIC! Check your answers, try to rewrite the answer differently, read the above working homework hints carefully to avoid common mistakes. If nothing works, accept the inevitable. Three lowest homework grades will be dropped at the end of the semester to accommodate for any kind of emergency. This does not happen often though, and most of the time you should find the online homework helpful and enjoyable.

Exams. Students must attend four midterm exams and the final exam; they will be given at the regular lecture room. Missed exams count as 0. To make up for a missed exam, an oral exam can be given only in extraordinary cases. Please contact the Emergency Dean at 333-0050 in case of emergency. The dates of the midterm exams:

Check your current grade for this course. Example: the symbol ex1:77<91/100 means that you got 77 points for exam 1, and they were rescaled to 91 because of the curve used. 91 corresponds to A- in the overall curve 90 A, 80 B, 70 C, 60 D. The symbol ** marks the lowest quizzes, projects and homework assignments that have been dropped.

Rules for the exams. Come to the exam about 5-10 minutes before 9:00a.m.. Wait outside the room, do not enter until invited. When invited to enter, enter, take a copy of the exam, and take the seat whose number is indicated on your exam copy. Do not open the exam until asked to do so. When finished, first take all your belongings, then place your exam copy in one of the piles corresponding to the discussion section that you attend: BD1, BD2, BD3, BD4, BD5, BD6, BD7, BD8, and leave quietly. The use of calculators and cell phones is prohibited during the exams. It is best not to bring them at all to the exam. If they are brought, they must be turned off and placed in a locked bag on the floor. Having a cell phone in your hand or pocket will result in automatic 0 score for the exam. On the desk you can have only the exam, a pen/pencil and an eraser. All other belongings should be in a locked bag on the floor. During the test look at your assignment and nowhere else. No caps are allowed. Have your student ID with you for the exam.

6.8 The table on page 474.

Quizzes will be given at the beginning of some discussion sections. The dates will be announced below. Quizzes, as exams, are based on the assigned homework, online homework, written homework and the material presented at the lectures and discussion sections. Missed quizzes count as 0. One lowest quiz will be dropped to allow for emergency situations. There will be no make-up quizzes.
qu1 Tuesday, Sept 6.
qu2 Thursday, Sept 15.
qu3 Thursday, Sept 29.
qu4 Thursday, Oct 13.
qu5 Thursday, Oct 20.
qu6 Thursday, Nov 3.
qu7 Thursday, Nov 10.
qu8 Thursday, Dec 1. This was the last quiz.

What to study. Exams and quizzes are based on all the material that was covered from the beginning of the course until the time of the exam/quiz (not just from the time of the previous exam/quiz). This includes the material presented at the lectures, discussion sections, written homework, assigned homework, online homework. Lectures and discussion sections follow chapters and sections in the textbook (though they do not necessarily cover everything in the textbook), so read the book as well. Example: if a quiz is on Octomber 38, then the quiz will be based on all the material from the beginning of the course, including the homework that is due Octomber 38, even if the deadline time for this homework is later than the time of the quiz on Octomber 38. One cannot expect to learn a part of mathematics without proper background that leads to it. Students are expected to know all the material from the beginning of the course.

Notes on how to organize homework, quizzes, and exams.

Grading. The total grade splits as follows: hw 10%, pr 10%, qu 10%, each of the four exams 10%, final exam 30%. (More precisely, the average of the exams taken so far is counted as 40%. When 4 exams are taken, this will be equivalent to 10% per exam.) Poor attendance can also affect your final grade. The curve for each online homework 90% A, 80% B, 70% C, 60% D. This means that the interval between 90% and 100% is split into tree equal parts corresponding to A-,A, and A+, respectively; similarly for B,C,D. The curve for the exams and quizzes will be set up individually after they take place.

If you disagree with the grade, on a separate sheet of paper write your name, discussion section number, the number of homework/quiz/exam, and a paragraph describing why you think the grade should be changed. Turn it together with the homework/quiz/exam in question to your section's TA.

You can check your current grade for this course. There should be a grade displayed for each homework, quiz, exam, and project, and also a total grade based on the average score of your quizzes, homework and exams that you have taken so far. The system takes the above percentage into account. Example: the symbol ex1:77<91/100 means that you got 77 points for exam 1, and they were rescaled to 91 because of the curve used. 91 corresponds to A- in the overall curve 90 A, 80 B, 70 C, 60 D. The symbol ** marks the lowest quizzes, projects and homework assignments that have been dropped.
