Courseware: Online quizes, exams and exam scheduling are now done through CourseWare.
You need to go to www.casa.uh.edu and register for an account. You are entirely responsible for this aspect of the course.
WHAT IS A RECITATION SECTION?
The lecture for this course is very large, over 100 students, and so it is hard to have many opportunities for much interaction or question-and-answer time.
The recitation sections are smaller classes, run by teaching assistants, and designed to include more time to see worked examples and for question-and answer time.
In addition, you will be taking weekly quizes in your recitation class and these will count towards your course grade as explained below.
The syllabus for this course is available here: Math1432 Syllabus
A complete set of homework assignments is available here: Math1432 Homework
MATH 1432 GRADING
Your grade for my Math 1432 will be based on six separate components worth 100 points each.
Of these six components, I will save your five best scores. So a perfect score in my class would be a 500.
The six components are:
EXAM 1--This is an hour long exam worth 100 points,
Exam 2--This is an hour long exam worth 100points,
Exam 3--This is an hour long exam worth 100 pooints,
Lab quizes and on-line quizes--There will be approximately fifteen quizes given in recitation and online, these will be scaled to a total of 100 points,
Final Exam--Two Scores--Your final exam is a 3 hour exam worth 200 points. If you score a 180, I will record two grades of 90 points each.
Course grade: I will save your five best of these six scores and base your grade on a toatl of 500 points.

Solutions to Homework for Math 3333 3333hw.pdf
The text for this course is "Elementary Analysis: The Theory of Calculus" by Kenneth A. Ross ISBN 0-387-90459-X
This course focuses much more on learning how to prove theorems than on how to solve problems.
Your grade in this course will be based on six components worth 100 points each.
Of these six components I will save your best five, so a perfect score is 500.
The six components are:
Test I---In class worth 100 points.
TestII--In class worth 100 points.
Homework--Worth 200 points, two scores of 100 points each.
Final Exam--Worth 200 points, two scores of 100 pooints each.
To see how I get two scores on these last two, say you get 180 on Homework, then I record that as 90, 90. Same with the final exam.
This will give me 6 scores for you, each worth 100 points, I keep your five highest and total them.
I count Homework more in this course becasue of the emphasis on proofs.
