5. Grading System
Midterm and Prefinal Exams 60%
Lecture activities
(includes usual and long quizzes), 40%
Recitation activities
(includes homeworks and exercises)
Total 100%

If the prefinal standing of a student is at least 65%, it becomes his/her final standing.
Otherwise, a student must take the final examination and the final standing is computed as
follows.
Final standing = 30% (final exam score) + 70% (prefinal standing)

The final grades will correspond to percentage rating as shown below:

Final Grade Rating in %
1.00 96-100
1.25 92-95
1.50 88-91
1.75 84-87
2.00 80-83
2.25 75-79
2.50 70-74
2.75 65-69
3.00 60-64
4.00 55-59
5.00 0-54

6. Schedule of Examinations
Midterm examination: March 18, 7-9PM (Early exam: 5-7PM)
Prefinal examination: May 13, 7-9PM (Early exam: 5-7PM)

7. Lifelong Learning Opportunities

In the course, students will acquire technical skills in solving conceptual and applied
problems related to vector analytic geometry and multivariable calculus that are necessary in
understanding applications in surface and solid geometry, optimization and differential
equations. The section on infinite and power series introduces students to discrete
representations of continuous functions which are basic approximation techniques in
application areas. These topics will be further strengthened in their major courses such as in
engineering, chemistry, physics, statistics and computer science.
