You should ask for a regrade to correct things that you feel we missed, or graded unfairly. I will never lower your grade. the rules0) Before asking for a regrade, you should compare your solutions with the online solutions1) If you want regrades, the exam/quiz MUST be in ink.2) Mark the questions you want me to look at, and give the exam/quiz to us before or after class. 3) Don't ask 'look at everything I missed to give me extra points' 4) Ask for the regrade within about a four days after we give it back in TA session.5) I'll bring the regraded paper to class with me, usually the next class day calclab CalcLab is a new replacement for TA office hours. Because it is new, changes are constantly hap-pening. To find the latest information, go to the CalcLab website: https://www.ma.utexas.edu/academics/undergraduate/calculus-lab/study adviceForm a study group of other people about the same level as you. 0) Here's where to find study material:a) The problems in Stewart are too simple, so we have extra practice. For studying, you can start with Stewart but that isn't enough and your exam problems will be harder. b) Every week I post 14U problems with solutions. Because the course moves so quickly, you need to do these problems every night, after the lecture, or at the very least, every weekend. Solutions are posted, too!c) The homework has problems to practice you for the quizzes and exams. They don't have solutions; these are meant to be done in your TA session.. 1) Here's a general plan for studying:a) Start with working problems. If you get stuck, check your notes to see whether I did a similar problem. If not, discuss it with your study pals. You can salso take a picture of your work and email me. Before 8pm.b) If something seems wrong on the 14U problems, email me. Don't spend hours of your own time. c) Go to TA session to work the practice problems on the hw. d) Finally, go through your notes to see if there's anything you've missed. This is not a course in which I drill you with dozens of problems and then give you problems just like the drill. You need to do more than practicing problems; you need to study your notes, you need to think about the kinds of problems you've seen and you need to organize that in your mind. 2) If you've had calculus before:a) Watch out for your algebra; it's easy to lose points. b) You need to show work. Anyone can get answers from Google; I want to see if you've learned techniques. comPutinG your Gradebefore final: a =[ .2*(Quiz Average) + .6*(Exam Average)]/.8after final: b = .8*a+ .2*FinalYour average determines your grade: no special deals, no retakes, no curves.
