Course-related material will be posted on my U of A web site
whose URL is in the previous page.
You are encouraged to have a look at old 102 exams.
In this course there are common exams and grading amongst all
the sections. Unless exceptional circumstances arise, grades will be
awarded based on the long time statistics for the overall
performance in Math 102. It is therefore possible for every
student in a specific class to do very well!
Do not get behind. Do the homework, attend the labs. This is very
important.
Try to learn the concepts, rather than just memorizing formulas.
The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of
academic integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be
familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty and to
uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students are
particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of
the Code of Student Behaviour (online at
www.ualberta.ca/secretariat/appeals.htm) and avoid any behaviour
which could potentially result in suspicions of cheating,
plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an
offence. Academic dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in
suspension or expulsion from the University.
There will be no formula sheet allowed at the exams.
