Your responsabilities
Check your university email regularly as important emails concerning exams or class
might be sent there. Also check the class webpage regularly.
Guidelines for Success
• Come to class and take notes. This is very important for several reasons, the
most obvious being that some part of the text might be left out and will therefore
be non-examinable, so you want to have a solid basis for studying what will be
in the exams.
• Discuss the course material with your fellow students, form study groups.
• Come to the office hours, preferably in groups. Do not leave open problems
unanswered.
• Work regularly throughout term. Do not leave the homework for the night/hours
before the deadline.
• Ask questions. Class is a good place for this, but office hours are better.
• Be patient. Mathematics takes a while to sink in. Do many examples and
eventually you will be successful.
Disabilities Statement
Students with documented disabilities or special needs that require special accomodation must register with the Center for Disability Services. Please contact me at the
beginning of the semester to discuss any such accomodations for the course.
