Read all the information and policies on the webpage!

Office hours

There are common office hours in MATH 211. There will be someone to help you with your math questions most of the time; you can check the schedule here. My office hours are on Thursdays 2.30 - 4.30.

Quizzes

There will be 1 or 2 surprise quizzes every week of classes, total around 15 quizzes.

If you miss a class (due to being sick or a personal emergency), I can excuse the quiz for you ONLY if you show me an official proof (eg, a note from PUSH or from the Office of the Dean of Students). Contact me as soon as you can.

If you have fewer than 3 excused quizzes, your lowest scores will be dropped for the balance of the three. (This is NOT in addition to your excused absences. It is the balance of the 3 not needed for excused absences.)

Exam 3 review problems

There is a lot of information about the exam on the course webpage.

Here are some review problems from the book (odd-numbered ones have solutions at the end of the book, starting at page 937). There is a lot of problems, I of course recommend doing them all - but if you don't have time for that, do at least a couple from each type of problem. Certainly try to do the problems first without looking in the book or your notes - you won't be able to use them in the exam.

Also, go over your lecture notes and past homeworks and quizzes. If you do all this, you should be well prepared for the exam :)

If you don't have time to do all of these; doing at least all of Ch. 3 Checkup (and possibly some more word problems from the Ch. 3 Review and from Ch. 4) should be a good practice for the exam.
