2. College webpages

• Maths UG Handbook

• There are two types of exercises for this module: exercises that will be done online and exercises that will be done in writing on paper.
• For the online exercises you have to register on MyLab. How to do this, and how to use the associated MyLab software, has been explained to you during induction week at the start of the first term. If you missed this talk, you can find the slides of the presentation here. Remember that the presentation notes refer to Calculus I so please make the appropriate changes for Calculus II. Please register now on MyLab with your own personal access code for course ID: klages05926
• A new online exercise will be available each Wednesday starting from 7am (except in week 7). The deadline for online exercises is every Friday at 23.59h of the following week and electronically enforced (again, except in week 7).
• Marks of the online exercises will not count towards your final mark for this course. However, it is compulsory that you attempt all online exercises. An online exercise submission is only counted as a serious attempt if you score at least 10% of the available marks. If you submit less than or equal to 2 out of the first 5 online exercises seriously, the School's Senior Tutor and your Academic Advisor will be informed that you are not making sufficient progress in this module, and your enrolment in this course may be terminated. The same rule applies to the subsequent 5 online exercises.
• There will be online practice exercises along with the standard online exercises. You are strongly encouraged to do the online practice exercises for attempting questions as often as you wish. Some of the online exercise questions will be sampled from these practice questions. However, you have only one attempt for doing the online exercise.
• Here is a list of frequently asked questions concerning some more technical details of doing the online exercises.
  

• In addition to the online exercises, there are written exercises. These consist of one exercise sheet per week, which will be distributed at the beginning of the Wednesday lectures. One problem (the feedback question) on this sheet has to be done by yourself as homework, and you have to hand in the solution to your personal tutor of this module in the tutorial of the following week. All the other questions on the exercise sheet are for practising, e.g., during the tutorials.
• Details of when and where each tutorial group meets can be found here.
• Your answer to the feedback question will be corrected and given back to you in the subsequent week, but it will not be assigned a mark. It is compulsory to hand in all weekly written exercises. The same rule applies to non-serious written exercise submissions as in the case of the online exercises.
• Exercise sheets and model solutions will be available as follows:

Please note: Model solutions should be available online on the Monday after the deadline for handing in the respective homework, cf. the links above.

• The Calculus II Mid-term test has taken place on Wednesday, February 22 between 1pm to 4.30pm in in the College's computer labs. You needed to attend the session in either FB115a or FB123 to which you were assigned according to your surname as specified here. Full information about the Calculus II test is available on this handout. Details of the times and locations of all mid-term tests are available here.
• There is no end-of-term test for this module.

• Your Calculus II exam 2012 will take place on May 8, 10.00-12.00 in three different examination rooms. Detailed information about the room you have been allocated to is available on your personal MySis account. Please see the SMS Exam website and the College Exam website for further details.
• In order to prepare for your exam, a 2-hour revision class will take place on Monday, April 23, 14.00-16.00 in Skeel Lecture Theatre. In this session we will solve the Calculus 2 exam from 2011 as an example. Please note: Model solutions for this exam will not be made available. Come to the revision class if you want to learn about them!
• A handout containing detailed hints on how to prepare for the 2012 exam is available here.
• A sample exam paper and solutions for a previous version of the course are available to download. Although the syllabus has changed slightly since the sample paper was produced, students doing the MTH4101 version of the course this year should be able to do all the questions in the sample paper except the second part of question 4. Remember that several exam questions from previous years have appeared in the weekly exercise questions.
• Copies of recent Calculus II exam papers are available using these links: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. Please note: Model solutions for these exams will not be made available. Please note also that questions 2(a) of the exam from 2009 and the second part of question 4 from 2008 require material that has not been covered this year due to change of syllabus. All other questions can be done.
• A complete collection of previous Calculus II exams is available here. However, please note that exams earlier than 2007 (labeled MAS102) are different from the 2007ff exams (labeled MAS125 or MTH4101), because the format of this module changed in 2006/7. That is, for the upcoming 2012 exam only the 2007ff exams given under the links above are representative.
• Please note: More information on the Calculus II exam 2012 than provided on this webpage and on the corresponding handout will not be given out to students! Particularly, I will not give specific exam hints to single students via e-mail or otherwise. This would not be fair in view of all the other students.
