at http://calculus.sfsu.edu/ready/. Students must provide proof of meeting these
prerequisites.

Instructor Policy
Students are expected and encouraged to participate and ask questions. Attendance at
lectures and lab meetings is mandatory and instructor will take random rolls. Students
should behave respectfully and courteously toward instructors and other students. Student
complaints, if any, must be made privately and outside class. Cell phone use is strictly
prohibited during class. Students must ensure that no device (cell phone, pager, etc) ring
and must avoid making any disturbing noises during class. Students whose conduct
violates any of these rules will be asked to leave immediately for the remainder of the
class meeting. Late students will be turned away. The instructors may reseat students
