• Passing requirement: Total score is the addition of Final exam (max 60), Midterm (max 30) and Homework (max 10). The total score can range from 0 to 100. If you have a total score of 50 or above, you are guaranteed to pass the class.

• Textbook: If you come to class regularly and take notes, a textbook will not be necessary. All the information necessary for homework and exams will be covered in class. The textbook I'll follow is
  Jon Rogawski and Colin Adams: Calculus, early transcendentals, 3rd edition.
  It is not required, but if you want to see more examples, etc, it might be a good thing to buy it. You won't need an access code to any automated online homework system. I will use a free option called WebWork.

• Homework: Homework is posted after each lecture, pertaining to the material covered during this lecture. Due date is one week at midnight, after the lecture.
  We will be using WeBWorK for HW in this class. WeBWorK is a free platform developed by the Mathematical Association of America. You can find more information here.
  In order to login, go to this link.
  user name: your UCSC email (name@ucsc.edu).
  password: your SIS ID Number (your 7-digit identification number).
  After login change your password if you wish.
  If you cannot login, send me an email, I might have to add your name manually to the Webwork list if you enrolled just recently to this class.
  New hw problems are available after each lecture, numbered by the sections from the textbook. You have 1 week to complete them.

• Additional Material: Trigonometric Integrals.

• Academic Accommodation: Information about academic accommodation can be found here.

• MSI Tutor Support: At Learning Support Services Tutors, Learning Assistants, and staff work with campus partners to support students and advance educational equity by designing inclusive learning environments in Modified Supplemental Instruction, Small Group Tutoring, and Writing Support. Modified Supplemental Instruction (MSI) support is offered for this course. In MSI, you can expect the MSI leader to facilitate cooperative group activities designed to have students work together on the course content. MSI is offered at least three times each week for the entire quarter. The MSI leader is an undergraduate student who took the class, did well, and is trained to facilitate group sessions to focus on you, the students, and what you need to succeed in the course. LSS provides continuous training for MSI leaders to create inclusive spaces for students and facilitate group work effectively. MSI is for everyone and open to all students in class to get extra practice on the things you already know or the things you want to know better. Attendance is voluntary; however, students who attend MSI sessions weekly earn a higher final grade than students who do not participate in MSI.
  Want MSI to be successful for you? Bring your books, lecture notes, questions, and be open to working collaboratively with your peers. You can access the MSI schedule online or check out Learning Support Services? website for more information on MSI and other programs LSS offers to support student success.
