* Calculus * Maximize, Spline, Piecewise, Integral, Diff * Lab 1 * Procedures: Advanced Procedure Creation * Lab 2 and Lab 3 * Creating User Interfaces * Lab 3 and 4 * Advanced Simulations * Lab 4

4 labs in even numbered weeks (2, 4, 6 and 8) 4 quizzes in odd numbered weeks (3, 5, 7 and 9) 3 pre-lab quizlets in weeks (3, 5 and 7) Proficiency Exam in week 10 Flow of course similar to cs121 and cs122 Be sure to review contents of course web site for details

Extra consultation activity Intended for students who struggled with the quizzes and proficiency exam in cs122 * Goal of 1or 2 sections 4 sessions to be held on Tuesday evenings following lab week (weeks 3, 5, 7 and 9) * 6 to 7:50 PM * *** Monday session will be added if attendance warrants Focus on problem solving and Maple exercises to enable enhanced performance in quizzes A 3 point bonus will be awarded to all students who attend all 4 sessions To enroll, please contact Dave Augenblick at * 1 st session  Tuesday, April 16 th (+ perhaps Monday, 4/15)

Please contact your individual instructors with questions and problems CLC (room 147 UC) will be staffed at same times as for cs122 in Winter (odd weeks – starting week 3) Note that CLC is staffed on Monday through Friday (9 AM to 5 PM) Missed work policies – same as in cs121 and cs122 Makeup labs to be held on Monday at 6 PM (odd weeks). Must receive explicit approval from your instructor in order to attend! Makeup quiz offered (30% penalty) – Friday through Sunday after completion of regular quiz * No excused quizzes due to MapleTA login issues – please resolve any such issues immediately * All MapleTA login accounts have been (re) set to your Drexel id (ID) and 8 digit student number (password) No makeup quizlets No bbLearn Discussion Board monitoring this term

Quiz 1 will be released on Friday (4/13) at 6 PM Deadline: Thursday (4/19) at 4:30 PM Makeup quiz – from Friday (4/20) at 9 AM through Sunday (4/22) at 11:00 PM * 30% penalty Pre-lab 2 quizlet From Thursday (4/19 – noon) through Monday (4/23 – 8 AM) Be sure to visit the CLC for quiz or general Maple assistance Be sure to register for extra consultation initiative if interested
