Your responsabilities
• It is your responsibility to check your university email regularly as important emails concerning exams or class will be sent there. Also check the class webpage regularly.
• It is your responsibility to prepare for class by reading the notes taken in the previous class
and going over the examples.
• It is your responsibility to begin homework assignments as soon as they are online and
prepare questions for the office hours.
• It is your responsibility to form study groups to discuss the material and problems with
your classmates.
Guidelines for Success
• Do many problems, in addition to the homework. It’s the only way to learn math.
• 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 and 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.
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
