There
have been an unprecedented number of requests from students to
take the Final Exam at some time other than the scheduled time
on Thursday, Dec 17 from 7:35pm to 9:35pm. This exam date
has been known and clearly posted on the course website since
before the course began.
Here's
what the Harvard Extension School has to say about make-up
exams:
Make-up exams
Students
who cannot take their final exams as scheduled because of
documented serious illness or compelling, unexpected
circumstances may appeal for a make-up final exam. Students
must provide documentation of the reason for missing the exam
and be able to successfully complete the course for which the
make-up exam is requested. They also must have records of good
attendance and participation.
Students
may appeal for make-up exams within 3 days of the missed exams
by submitting make-up
final exam forms. Forms must be submitted by December 24
for fall courses or May 19 for spring courses.
Original
documentation explaining the reason for missing the final exam
must accompany the appeal. Documentation must be on official
letterhead and include specific dates. Medical documentation
must be based on a physical examination within 3 days of the
missed exam and must include an explanation of the illness
relevant to the student’s inability to take the exam.
A
$25 nonrefundable processing fee for each make-up exam
requested must be included with the appeal. Students are
advised to call Academic Services before submitting appeals.
Make-up exams are not available for Institute for English
Language courses.
The
make-up exams are administered at 51 Brattle Street on
Saturday, January 23, 2010, for fall courses and Saturday, May
26, 2010, for spring courses. A student who does not take the
exam as scheduled is assigned a failing grade for the exam. |
Exam #2
took place on Thursday, Nov 19.

There are 89
students now registered in the course (as of Thursday, November
26).
Click on
the image of the textbook (to the left and down) for the best online
deals. We're using the 3rd edition of the Stewart text, but I want
to emphasize that it is not necessary to have a current edition of
the text for this course and, in truth, almost any multivariable
calculus text will suffice. Though almost all of the assigned
homework problems will be taken from Stewart's Multivariable
Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, 3rd Edition, all assignments will
be posted as PDF's on the course website.
Class
meets Thursday evenings from 7:35pm to 9:35pm, in Harvard
Hall 201 (next to Johnson Gate).
A pre-class
problem session will take place each week starting
shortly after 6:30pm in our regular lecture hall (Harvard
Hall 201) before class. This session is for last-minute
questions on the weekly homework. This session is purely optional,
but students have found it helpful in the past.
Course
Assistant Umang Shukla has a problem
session each Monday evening from 7:30pm until 8:30pm in Science
Center Room 109. Our other Course Assistant is Renee
Chipman. Additional details may follow.
If you
are unable to turn in your homework during class, there is a
mail slot on the 3rd floor of the Science Center diagonally across
from the elevators. The Math E-21a slot is at the bottom of the
black rack with an orange label, one slot for homework being turned
in and another slot for graded homework to be returned. However, it
is always best to turn in homework in class. Any other arrangements
and all rules regarding lateness are at the discretion of the course
assistants.

Note:
The Math
Placement Exam is NOT required for registration in this course.
It is still a good idea to take it in order to better assess which
mathematics course is most appropriate for you.
