• There are two types of coursework for this module: coursework that will be done online and coursework that will be done in writing on paper.
• For the online coursework you have to register on Coursecompass. How to do this, and how to use the associated MyMathLab software, has been explained to you by Jo Richardson during the induction week on Thursday, 24 September 2009, 10-10.30am in Skeel Lecture Theatre. If you missed this talk, you can find the slides of her presentation here. Please register now on Coursecompass with your own personal access code for course ID klages30433
• A handout introducing to MyMathLab and to computers of the College Campus Network is available here.
• New online coursework will be available each Wednesday starting from 7am (except in midterm week 7). The deadline for online coursework is every Thursday midnight of the following week and electronically enforced (again, except in midterm week 7).
• Marks of the online coursework will not count towards your final mark for this course. It is compulsory that you attempt all online coursework. An online coursework 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 courseworks 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 courseworks.
• There will be online exercises and online coursework. You are strongly encouraged to do the online exercises for practizing as often as you wish. 80% of the coursework questions will be sampled from these exercise questions, the rest will be new. However, you have only one attempt for doing the online coursework.
• Here is a list of frequently asked questions concerning some more technical details of doing the online coursework.
  

• In addition to the online coursework, there is written coursework. This coursework consists of one exercise sheet per week, which will be distributed at the beginning of the Tuesday lectures. One problem on this sheet you have to do by yourself as homework, and you have to hand in the solution to your personal tutor of this module in the exercise class of the following week. All the other questions on the coursework sheet are for practizing, e.g., during the exercise classes.
• The first exercise classes will take place on Wednesday, October 7.
• Your written coursework will be corrected and given back to you in the subsequent week, but it will not be marked. It is compulsory to hand in all weekly written coursework. The same rule applies to non-serious coursework submissions as in case of the online coursework.
• Exercise sheets and model solutions are available as follows:

• Course Information Sheet
• Learning Outcomes and Final Examination

• Thomas' Calculus (11th international edition, media upgrade), Pearson Education, 2008, supplemented by MyMathLab
• Book and access code are mandatory and are on sale as a package for the reduced price of £34.00 in the Campus Book Shop.

• There is a handout available containing all information about the Calculus 1 midterm test: The test will take place on Wednesday, November 11 between 1-5pm. It will be performed in the College's computer labs and will particularly cover all online coursework and exercise questions. Please note that if you have not registered for the online software MML, you are not allowed to sit the test, which counts 20% to your final mark for this module.
• Please see here for a statistics of the midterm test results. 245 students took the test, the average score was 67/100. Congratulations! Please note that your online test is now accessible again with electronic feedback.
• There is no end-of-term test for this module.

• Your Calculus 1 exam will take place on Thursday, 13 May 2010 from 10.00-12.00 in York Hall Bethnal Green.
• In order to prepare for the Calculus 1 exam, a revision class took place on Monday, 26 April 2010 from 9.00-11.00 in Mason Lecture Theatre. In this lecture we solved the late summer resit exam 2009 as an example. Please note: Model solutions for this exam will not be made available, except the one for the last question that we could not cover anymore.
• Please note that the School also offers drop-in sessions in April and May during which postgraduate students will be available in order to discuss exam questions with you.
• A final version of the handout containing detailed hints on how to prepare for the 2010 exam is available here.
• Six sample exams from the previous two years plus (hints on) model solutions are available as follows:
  

exam	model solutions
First sit exam 2010	Please note that I am not obliged to make this exam available already. However, I do so such that students who do the late summer exam can prepare for it. I highly recommend that they work themselves through the first sit exam! But I will not give out any model solutions for it.
First sit exam 2009	Most solutions to these exam questions are contained in the coursework model solutions and in the lecture notes, which are all available on this webpage. This should encourage you to study coursework questions and lecture notes.
Late summer resit exam 2009	The solution to this exam was discussed in a revision class except the one for question 4, which you can find here. Note: Until 26/04 an old first draft of the exam was put under the link to the left by mistake (sorry); it is now replaced by the final version.
First sit exam 2008	The full model solution is available here.
Late summer resit exam 2008	Some solutions to these exam questions are contained in the coursework model solutions and in the lecture notes, which are all available on this webpage. This sample exam is for students who want to test the `real thing' without being pampered by model solutions.
First sit exam 2007	The full model solution is available here.
Late summer resit exam 2007	Some solutions to these exam questions are contained in the coursework model solutions and in the lecture notes, which are all available on this webpage. Again, this sample exam is for students who want to test the `real thing'.

• Some of these exams can also be found on last year's course webpage and on the one from 2007.
• A complete collection of previous Calculus 1 exams is available here. However, please note that exams earlier than 2007 (labeled MAS101) are different from the 2007 exams and later (labeled MAS115 and MTH4100), because the format of this module has changed in 2006/2007. That is, for the 2010 exam only the 2007/2008/2009 exams given under the links above are representative.
• Please note: More information on the 2010 exam than provided in these notes and on this webpage 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 towards all the other students.
