    The Calculus Help Room, Spring 2007, at HAYE 215 is open Mondays - Thursdays 7-9 pm . This is a place where there are going to be Tutors or TA:s available to help you with the homework and other questions regarding the course material.

    Class Attendance: A first-year student who accumulates more than 3 unexcused absences may be given an F.

    Tutorials: The Thursday tutorials are mandatory. Quizzes and/or Group activities will be conducted during the tutorial sessions and they count a total of 50 points towards your final grade.

    Homeworks: Homework problems will be assigned during the lecture and will be collected during the tutorial sections each week. The main purpose of the homework is to help you learn the material. Experience shows that students who take their homework seriously do very well in the course because they have a better understanding of the material.

    Missed exams: Note that there will be three Midterm Exams and a Final Exam. A student who misses an examination will receive zero points for that exam unless he or she has written permission from the Dean of the First Year of Studies. Please be aware that travel plans, sleeping in, defective alarm clocks etc are not considered to be a valid excuse by the Dean of the First year of Studies! If you have a valid excuse (illness, excused athletic absence etc) for missing an exam, please see me ASAP (preferably before the exam) and a makeup exam will be scheduled.

    Exam conflicts: The exam conflicts are governed by Academic code. According to Section 14.2, students with more than 2 finals in one day, or more than 3 finals in a 24 hour period, may negotiate to change the time of one of these finals. If you intend to request to have the time of your Math 10550 (Math 125) final changed, you must talk to your instructor by April 8.

    Honor Code: Both examinations and homework are conducted under the honor code. While discussion in small groups in doing homework is permitted (and strongly encouraged) in this course, the work should be your own. Exams are closed book and are to be done completely by yourself with no help from others.

    Learning Resource Center (LRC): For our course, the First Year of Study Learning Resource Center (LRC) is running a regular "Collaborative learning",a "tutorial" and also a regular "help" session. To attend the Collaborative learning or the tutorial section you must register through the learning resource center (Coleman Morse 228, 631-5294). Once you register regular attendance is required and two absences will result in dismissal. The Collaborative learning session is on Sundays at 4:00-6:00 pm. The help session, Wednesdays at 3:00-5:00 pm, is a walk-in session and you can simply come whenever you have questions, no attendance is taken. Please see their web site http://www.nd.edu/~fys/lrc.html for details. For more information: contact them at 631-5294 or send email to Nahid.A.Erfan.1@nd.edu.
