Course Information

(Note that as the course progresses, all items are subject to change.)

For additional information on the course, look at Course Structure, Mastery, And Grades and the Topic Syllabus.  As we get closer to exams, you may wish to work through some Practice Exams to help prepare.  Many students ask about the best ways to study and prepare for exams.  While we've structured the class around good practices for learning, here are some excerpts from Brown, Roediger, and McDaniel's book Make it Stick which summarize the main points for top level strategies as well as additional ideas.

We will follow Stewart's Calculus textbook (8th edition) chapters 1-4.

We use problem sets from Khan Academy.  For a summary of all Khan Academy work to date, look at the Khan Academy Assignments Outline.  To get credit for doing the Khan Academy work, you need to add two coach codes (instructions), the master course code SNS2WX and the code for your section:

Section 1: MR5W84
Section 2: NBP9CJ
Section 3: JA899D
Section 4: F5S7HT
Section 5: 7ZSQX8

For your name, use your Dartmouth ID and your last name (e.g F001ACR  Smith).  This ensures your scores will be transferred to canvas and accurately recorded.

On 9/15, Section 3 held an xhour on using Khan Academy and how it interacts with canvas.  If you'd like to watch it, look here:  03-m3f16-ka-xhour.

Honor Code

Students are encouraged to work together to do homework problems. What is important is a student's eventual understanding of homework problems, and not how that is achieved. The honor principle applies to homework in the following way. What a student turns in as a homework solution is to be his or her own understanding of how to do the problem.  For group work, the solution must reflect the common understanding of the entire group.  Any copying (electronic or otherwise) of another person's solutions, in whole or in part, is a violation of the Honor Code.

The Honor Code explicitly forbids giving or receiving help on any of the midterm or final exams.

If you have any questions as to whether some action would be acceptable under the Academic Honor Code, please speak to your instructor.

Religious Observances

Some students may wish to take part in religious observances that occur during this academic term. If you have a religious observance that conflicts with your participation in the course, please meet with your instructor before the end of the second week of the term to discuss appropriate accommodations.

Student Needs

Students with disabilities who may need disability-related academic adjustments and services are encouraged to see your instructor privately as early as possible in the term. Students requiring disability-related academic adjustments and services must consult the Student Accessibility Services office (224 Baker Library, 646-9900, Student.Accessibility.Services@Dartmouth.edu). Once SAS has authorized services, students must show the originally signed SAS Services and Consent Form and/or a letter on SAS letterhead to their professor. As a first step, if students have questions about whether they qualify to receive academic adjustments and services, they should contact the SAS office. All inquiries and discussions will remain confidential.
