There will be no make-up for the final exam, even in emergency situations.
Check your university email regularly as important emails concerning exams or class might be sent there. Also check the class webpage regularly.
• 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. Work at a steady pace and eventually you will be successful.
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.
