Course Information

Meeting Times:

• Section 012D: Monday and Friday, 8-8:50am in MSB 311

This portion of the course is intended for the students to gain more practice doing calculus as well as gain an appreciation for where it can be applied to real-world situations. We will achieve this by splitting our time into halves: the first half of each meeting will involve students asking questions about topics from lecture or about the homework; during the second half of each meeting, the students will meet in groups to work on a group project. These group projects are designed to give a real-world meaning to the ideas discussed in lecture. They are also designed to hammer home topics and gain additional practice in a setting in which the student can ask questions of other students and of a teaching assistant.

It is important that the student stay updated on material pertinent to the course. To do this, the student must be familiar with this webpage and the main course page, available from the link above. On this page, the students can receive information specific to their discussion section, such as labs or answers to questions asked in class. On the main course page, there is a course outline, grading information, homework information, and details about the text and WebAssign.
