Your rights and obligations

Math Prerequisite: C+ in Principals of Math 12. This course is intended to settle down the basis of differential calculus. Although a brief review of the concepts required will be given, a good basis of high school math courses is required.
Homeworks: A list of exercises will be given at almost every lecture. It is your responsibility to work on them, however quizzes will be based on them.
Quizzes: All quizzes will be based on the set of exercises given in class. This is basically intended to help you to prepare for each test. All quizzes will last 50 mins and will be held within the lecture hours the dates specified above.
Midterms: They will last for 2 hours within the lecture hours the days specified above.
Final exam: TBA.
Important remark: No excuses will be accepted for not presenting the whole of the material required for the total evaluation of this course. Please bear this in mind, and if you are planning a holiday or other kind of activity that may interfere during the term, you should not be registering at all! For health related reasons the situations should be discussed with the instructor. Medical documentation must be presented in such cases.
Classroom discipline: Since this has become an increasing problem at university level, no considerations whatever will be observed from the instructor. Whenever it is not possible for me to proceed with the lecture fluently enough, I intend to leave the classroom and leave the rest of the material to be learned that day to the students responsibility. Moreover, once the instructor spots a person or group of persons disrupting the class, they will be referred to the department's standard proceedings with such matters.
Academic dishonesty: A severe policy towards people caught cheating (e.g. by copying exams or exposing a paper in a test or examination) will be followed. This means that this practice will be vigorously prosecuted and could seriously jeopardise your future academic career at UBC and beyond.
