The MATH 101 final examination will take place on Friday, April 21, from noon–2:30 PM. Make sure that any travel plans you might make don't conflict with sitting the exam at this time. The final exam will cover the entire syllabus for the course.
The location of your final exam depends on your section:
UBC has very detailed policies about what constitutes a conflict with a final examination and what constitutes an exam hardship that requires rescheduling. If you have difficulties, disabilities, religious conflict, or three exams in a 24-hour period, check that web page to find out how to request an accommodation.
You should bring your UBC student ID to the final, as well as something to write with. (Pens are preferred, but pencils are allowed as long as they write darkly enough to be easily read. Ren pens are not allowed.) The final is completely closed book: you cannot bring any books or notes of any kind with you. Also, you cannot use calculators on the final. You will not be allowed to have phones, pencil cases, digital watches, or other electronic devices out while taking the final, nor will you be allowed to use headphones or earbuds; you will not be allowed to wear a baseball cap or any other hat with a brim.
The Math Exam/Education Resources wiki has final exams from the past several years. The makers of this resource (graduate students in mathematics) have tagged the problems according to topic, and they have included hints and solutions as well. You can find old final exams on the Mathematics department web page as well. It will also help you to review the list of MATH 101 learning outcomes.
We have posted a practice final examination. As the best study strategy, we recommend setting aside 2½ hours to take the practice final exam under exam conditions (closed book, no phones). The solutions to the practice final have now been posted as well.
In addition to providing content on which to test your mastery of the course material, the practice final exam gives you a very good idea of what the actual final exam will look like. On the cover, you see that your name, student number, and section will all be preprinted for you. (You can ignore the sort number—that is literally to help the instructors sort the hundreds of exams.) You can also read the rules governing UBC examinations, and you see that you will sign the exam to affirm that you understand and will abide by those rules. You also see how many problems there will be of different lengths. There will be two versions of the final exam (note the large “1” on the front page of the practice final exam), to ensure that your neighbors will have different versions from you and thus eliminate the temptation to look at their papers. Note that the final exam has 75 points worth of problems; since you have 150 minutes for the exam, you can expect to allocate roughly 2 minutes per point to a given problem (for example, 14 minutes to a 7-point problem.)
From the Faculty of Science web site: "Students who miss a final exam due to illness or extreme personal distress and would like to apply for a deferred exam (a.k.a. SD) must report to the Science Information Centre within 48 hours of the missed exam...." Your performance in a course up to the exam is taken into consideration in granting a deferred exam status (for example, failing badly generally means you won't be granted a deferred exam). In Mathematics, generally students sit the next available exam for the course they are taking, which could be several months after the original exam was scheduled.
A student who wishes to view their final exam for pedagogic purposes may initiate this process by filling out the appropriate Mathematics department form. Note that this viewing of a final exam cannot change the grade of a final exam (except in the case of an obvious addition or recording error). Requesting a regrade of a final exam would be done at the university level by initiating a review of assigned standing procedure.
Your grade in this course will be computed using the following formula:
The final exam is common to all sections. Note that a student must score at least 40% on the final exam to pass the course, regardless of the grade computed by the above calculation. The final examination will not be weighted more heavily for students with a higher score on the final than their term mark, although some allowance may be made for students who perform much better on the final examination than they did during the term. (In practice, this rarely happens; the criterion will be set by the Instructor-in-Charge and applied uniformly across all sections.)
Because MATH 101 is a multisection course, the grading scheme includes the following structure to ensure fairness and consistency across all sections: distributed marking of the final exam and scaling of term grades to match the final. In brief:
Mark Mac Lean, who has been an Instructor-in-Charge for MATH 101 and other courses in the past and who is now the Undergraduate Chair of the Mathematics Department, has shared his perspective on grades and grading, which will give you a very detailed understanding about grades and how your professors look at them. The last page goes into more detail about distributed marking of the final exam and scaling of term grades to match the final.
If you miss any homework assignments, quizzes, or the final exam, you should read our page on missed assessment. In no circumstance can a student have 100% of their assessment based on the final examination. A student who has not completed a substantial portion of the term work (for example, a student who misses most quizzes) will not be admitted to the final examination.
If you wish to have a quiz regraded, carefully read the relevant information on the in-class quizzes page; we will only consider requests that follow the procedure outlined there.
A student who wishes to view their final exam for pedagogic purposes may initiate this process by filling out the appropriate Mathematics department form. Note that this viewing of a final exam cannot change the grade of a final exam (except in the case of an obvious addition or recording error). Requesting a regrade of a final exam would be done at the university level by initiating a review of assigned standing procedure.
There is no mechanism by which a student can increase their assigned grade in the course after the semester (no “extra assignments” or the like). Please do not ask your instructor about such possibilities; the time to take responsibility for your performance in the course is during the semester.
Each instructor will hold office hours each week for students in their section of MATH 101; you can find the times and location for your section's office hours on the individual sections web page. You can also contact your instructor for an appointment if necessary. First year can be an overwhelming experience for many students; if you find yourself having serious academic difficulties in this course, it is best to talk to your instructor as soon as you can. (We would much rather you come to us than to remain stuck forever, or, worse yet, attempt to cheat in some way.)
We will be using Piazza for all class-related questions and discussion. Piazza is a question-and-answer platform specifically designed to expedite answers to your questions, using the collective knowledge of your classmates and instructors. It is available 24 hours a day and has several features that facilitate discussion of mathematics, most notably support of mathematical typesetting (LaTeX). You are encouraged to answer your classmates' questions, or to brainstorm towards answers, every bit as much as you are encouraged to ask questions.
The Mathematics Department runs the Math Learning Centre in rooms LSK 301 and 302 (Leonard S. Klinck Building). You can go to the MLC to study on your own or in groups, and also to seek help from experienced graduate student TAs. The MLC is open every week during classes, from 11:00 AM–6:00 PM Mondays through Fridays (except UBC holidays).
The Alma Mater Society (AMS) also offers tutoring services for first- and second-year students (their web site also contains links to lots of other math resources). Private tutors also advertise their (paid) services on public bulletin boards in the Mathematics building.
There is a button on WeBWorK labeled "Email Instructor". If you have a technical question with WeBWorK (for example, it's not recognizing your input as correct, or the problem isn't displaying properly), use this button to get techincal support. If you have a mathematical question (for example, you can't figure out how to evaluate an integral), use Piazza as described above.
The Mathematics Department's undergraduate web pages contain a wealth of information and links to help you navigate mathematics courses.
Academic accommodations, as their web site says, "help students with a disability or ongoing medical condition overcome challenges that may affect their academic success." Their web site includes directions for registering with UBC's Access and Diversity unit.
UBC's Thrive page has many links to support services for people with challenges or mental health concerns; Faculty of Science students with emotional or medical difficulties can also find helpful policies and resources on their web page. The Alma Mater Society (AMS) also has a confidential Speakeasy service that "provides peer support for students facing a wide variety of challenges", and the SASC has recently launched several support groups as well.
Unfortunately, our society trains us to believe that we should succeed at everything we do without imperfection, or else there's something wrong with us as a person. That is absolutely untrue: everybody around us has challenges and struggles (whether we see them or not), and we should not be ashamed of our own. The people behind these links are dedicating their time and expertise to helping students like you with whatever they're struggling with; so use these opportunities any time you think you would benefit from the support.
There are two types of homework in MATH 101: WeBWorK assignments and suggested problems. The purpose of both types is to help you practice for the quizzes and to solidify your mastery of the course learning goals.
The homework component of your grade in this course is determined by online WeBWorK assignments. The WeBWorK system has many advantages, including slightly randomizing homework problems and (perhaps best of all) providing you with instant feedback. Remember that the homework is intended to help you learn the course material, and therefore it should be done as you are studying; students who leave their homework to the night before it is due do poorly in this course. (Do not be tempted into finding ways to complete your WeBWorK assignments without working through the problems yourself; in addition to the consequences of violating UBC's academic misconduct policies, you will be depriving yourself of the practice necessary to do well on the quizzes.)
The online assignments are supplemented by weekly suggested problems; these problems are not handed in or graded, but they are a valuable component of your preparation for the quizzes. Suggested problems tend to come in two categories:
In short: students who don't do their homework tend to fail their quizzes and final exam—it's that simple. Students who not only solve the problems, but also think critically about what they have and haven't mastered, will be well prepared for the quizzes and final exam. See the course home page for additional general advice for success.
Each week you will be assigned roughly twenty WeBWorK problems. You will be able to access your WeBWorK assignments using your CWL (Campus-Wide Login). All assignments will be open starting at 8:00 AM on Tuesday mornings a week before they are due, and due at 9:00 PM on Wednesday nights; answers will be available a few minutes after the assignment deadline. For example, the first WeBWorK assignment must be completed by 9:00 PM on Wednesday, January 13. No extensions will be granted for WeBWorK assignments.
Your WeBWorK assignments count for 10% of your overall grade in this course. All twelve WeBWorK assignments will be counted equally (regardless of which assignments have more or fewer problems), except that the lowest score will automatically be dropped. If you have an illness or other circumstance that prevents you from completing one of the WeBWorK assignments, don't worry—your grade will not suffer, since that assignment will just be dropped. (You should still complete the problems later, though, since the purpose of the WeBWorK assignments is to give you practice on the types of problems that will appear on the quizzes.) For circumstances that force you to miss multiple WeBWorK assignments, see the web page on missed assessment.
Here you can download a list of suggested problems taken from the various recommended online textbooks. All of the suggested problems have answers in the back of their books, except for those from Active Calculus. (Of course, you should always solve problems without looking at the answer first—only check the answer once you're done solving the problem)
There is also a CLP problem book to accompany the notes. Unfortunately it is still under construction; however, the material that is there is extremely well organized, with Questions, Hints, Answers, and Solutions. Indeed, reading the “How to use this book” introduction alone will probably significantly increase your understanding of how to master university-level mathematics.
If you have access to the 7th edition of Stewart's textbook, you are welcome to also use the list of suggested problems from Stewart from 2015; the answers are in the back of the book, and a student solution manual is available from the publisher. (Be sure to go by section number, as per the table on the syllabus page, rather than which sections were assigned to which unit two years ago.)
Academic misconduct includes any attempt to circumvent the rules put in place by the university and your course instructors to ensure fairness of evaluation for all students. Your instructors make significant efforts to deter and detect cheating, precisely because we want all students to be evaluated equitably and without unfair advantage. Your instructor, by default, absolutely desires your success in the course and will be thrilled when you do succeed; however, attempting to cheat will definitely remove your instructor from among your supporters.
There are severe penalties for acadmic misconduct, which of course you will want to avoid. Moreover, looking for ways to avoid thinking hard about homework or quiz problems is actually throwing away opportunities that are specifically designed to give you practice for the important final exam. However, the most important reason not to attempt to cheat in your courses is because you are an ethical adult: you are aware that cheating disadvantages every other student in the course, and you choose not to do so because you personally have morals. It is your responsibility, as an ethical adult, to make yourself aware of UBC's academic misconduct policies and to understand the difference between honourable and dishonourable behavior.
UBC takes academic misconduct incidents very seriously. After due investigation, students found guilty of cheating on tests and examinations (for example) can be given a final grade of 0 in the course and suspended from UBC for one year.
Examples of academic misconduct include:
All twelve WeBWorK assignments will be counted equally (regardless of which assignments have more or fewer problems), except that the lowest score will automatically be dropped. If you have an illness or other circumstance that prevents you from completing one of the WeBWorK assignments, don't worry—you don't have to do anything, and your grade will not suffer, since that assignment will just be dropped. (You should still complete the problems later, though, since the purpose of the WeBWorK assignments is to give you practice on the types of problems that will appear on the exams.)
If you have a valid excuse for missing more than one WeBWorK assignment, you should follow the procedures under "Missed quizzes" below.
If you miss a quiz, you will need to provide a documented excuse to your instructor. Examples of valid excuses are an illness which has been documented by a physician or Student Health Service, or an absence to play a varsity sport (in which case your coach will provide you with a letter to give to your instructor). Your instructor must be notified within 48 hours of such an absence, and appropriate documentation must be produced within 7 days of the absence. Failure to comply with these time limits, or failure to provide a documented excuse, will result in a mark of 0 for that quiz.
There will be no make-up quizzes; if you have a documented excuse for missing a quiz, your quiz average will simply be computed from the remaining quizzes. Your instructor may possibly, at their discretion, arrange for you to take a missed quiz in another section (for example, if your quiz is on a Thursday it, may be possible to take the quiz on a Friday in a different section, and vice versa). However, you must have explicit prior permission from your instructor (and the instructor of the different section) to do so; without this explicit permission, you will receive a score of 0 on that quiz if you go to a different section.
If a student has more than one missed quiz with documented excuses, the formula for computing their overall grade may be modified to put more weight on the final exam and less weight on the quizzes. In no circumstance, however, can a student have 100% of their assessment based on the final examination. A student who has not completed a substantial portion of the term work (for example, a student who misses most quizzes) will not be admitted to the final examination.
The UBC calendar has detailed regulations on illness, academic concessions, and deferred standing. If you miss the final exam, you will need to present your situation to the advising office for your faculty (for example, the Faculty of Science) to be considered for deferred standing. You must do so within 48 hours of the missed final exam.
Your performance in a course up to the exam is taken into consideration in granting a deferred exam status (for example, failing badly generally means you won't be granted a deferred exam). In Mathematics, generally students sit the next available exam for the course they are taking, which could be several months after the original exam was scheduled.
There is no commercial course textbook for this course—to save you money! Instead, Joel Feldman and Andrew Rechnitzer, two UBC mathematics professors, have written MATH 101 notes, named the CLP notes, for your use. They are specifically tailored to our course here at UBC. On that page you can also find a link to the CLP problem book (still under construction).
There are also several free online textbooks that you can refer to if you wish. The suggested problems include topic-by-topic homework problems taken from all of these texts, so you are welcome to download them all at the start of term. Roughly speaking, the most helpful ones are listed near the top, but there is helpful material in all of them—and sometimes different students simply have different preferences for textbook styles.
So many students don't do as well as they could in MATH 101, not because of problems with the new material, but because of incomplete mastery of old material! Making sure you are solid on past mathematical skills is the easiest way to substantially increase your grades in MATH 101. Here are some summaries of topics from your mathematical background, for you to review as necessary:
Eric Schechter, a retired professor from Vanderbilt University, has a wonderfully detailed web page about common errors mathematics students make.
After succeeding on the WebWorK assignments, the best way for you to practice for the quizzes and final examinations is to work on some or all of the suggested problems. In addition to supplying extra practice on mechanical steps, they also contain longer problems of the type that WeBWorK can't handle well, but that will definitely be represented on the exams. You can also go back to the various versions of old quizzes for later study.
Practice final examinations, along with solutions, will be posted later in the semester on the final exam web page.
This is the common web site for all sections of MATH 101 in Term 2 of the 2016W session (January to April 2017).
Most of the information you're looking for will be found on one of the following web pages; these links can always be found in the sidebar on the left side of the page, no matter where you are in our site.
To enroll in MATH 101, a student must have passed (or claimed credit for) one of the following prerequisite courses: MATH 100, MATH 102, MATH 104, MATH 110, MATH 111, MATH 120, MATH 180, or MATH 184. Most commonly, students who took MATH 100/180 follow up with MATH 101, while students who took MATH 102/182 or MATH 104/184 follow up with MATH 103 or MATH 105, respectively; however, this is not mandatory.
Important registration note: Individual instructors do not have the authority to sign forms to change your registration (please don't ask them). Instead, the Mathematics Department handles all requests for registration changes centrally.
For students in MWF sections, the first day of class is Wednesday, January 4 and the last day of class is Wednesday, April 5. For students in TTh sections, the first day of class is Tuesday, January 3 and the last day of class is Thursday, April 6. Midterm break is February 20–24; there will be no classes that week. In addition, for students in the MWF sections, there will be no class on Monday, February 13 (Family Day).
Quizzes will be held every second week in your normal lecture time and place. Each quiz will be 20 minutes long and consist of one short answer question and two long answer questions. We will enforce the following policies to help prevent students from cheating on the quizzes:
Other than your student ID, all you need for each quiz is something to write with. (Pens are preferred, but pencils are allowed as long as they write darkly enough to be easily read. Red pens are not allowed.) The quizzes are completely closed book: you cannot use any books or notes of any kind, and there will not be a list of formulas provided for you (with only a few specific exceptions, listed on the course syllabus page). Also, you cannot use calculators on the quizzes. (For this reason, you should get used to not using calculators when you do the homework assignments.) You will not be allowed to have phones, pencil cases, or other electronic devices out while taking the quizzes, nor will you be allowed to use headphones or earbuds.
We will post detailed solutions to the quizzes so that they are a good resource for your studying. Your solutions on the timed quizzes won't need to be as verbose. That being said, don't be afraid to use words in addition to clearly written mathematics! The better we can see your thought process, the more partial credit we will be able to give if the final answer isn't exactly right.
WeBWorK problems and suggested problems are an excellent source of quiz questions, so they also provide an excellent way to study for the quizzes. In addition, you may look at all of last year's MATH 101 quizzes for additional practice material (though note that the quiz format, while quite similar, is not exactly the same as it is be this year).
Each of the five quizzes will be weighted equally to determine the quiz portion of your overall grade; no quiz scores will be dropped.
There are no make-up quizzes in MATH 101. See the missed assessment web page about what to do if you are unable to attend a quiz.
Each quiz will focus on the previous two units of material (where “unit” is to be understood as described on the syllabus), but may contain earlier material as well. The dates of the quizzes are listed below.

The quizzes, with solutions and marking schemes, will be posted during the weekend after each quiz. The quiz you took can be found among the versions in the column corresponding to your section:
Your physical quiz papers will not be returned to you; instead, scanned copies of your marked quizzes will be available online. To obtain your marked quiz, first go to Connect (where you can find your quiz scores themselves) and take note of the "quiz code" associated with your quizzes. Then, go to the MATH 101 quiz return page and type in your student number and your quiz code. Finally, simply select the quiz you want to view; you may either view it online or download a PDF copy for yourself. The files will remain online all semester, if you want to view your old quizzes later.
Quizzes should be ready for retrieval a week after you write each quiz. You should make it part of your study habit to read each marked quiz carefully and compare your answers against the solutions posted above. The purpose of the quizzes is to provide you with important feedback—take advantage of that feedback!
If you find a recording error (the score on your quiz paper doesn't match the score recorded in Connect), just bring the error to the attention of your instructor, who will verify and correct the error.
If, after your quiz is returned to you, you feel that your grade on an individual problem deserves to be reconsidered, you can request a regrade from your instructor—but only by following these steps:
We emphasize: there is never any need to write on a printed copy of your quiz paper. Doing so, especially in the context of a regrade request, will be interpreted as trying to cheat by changing answers to quiz questions after the fact. Such an action, of course, is a serious violation of UBC's academic misconduct policy, as well as a breach of personal integrity.
This is the web page for Section 211 of MATH 101. The course home page contains information relevant to all of the sections of MATH 101 this semester; please make sure you know all of the information available there.
Lectures for Section 211: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 3:00–3:50 PM, room WOOD 2 (Woodward building)
The MATH 101 final examination will be on Friday, April 21, from noon–2:30 PM. Our section will be in the Robert F. Osborne Centre, room A.
We will be using clickers in our section, although only as a learning tool, not as part of your grade. You are required to have a clicker and bring it with you to every class. Information on how to use your clicker is on the UBC web site. The clicker questions from class will be posted below, for you to refer to later in the semester.
Remaining office hours:
During my office hour times, my #1 priority is helping you with calculus! Definitely feel free to come by for all or part of my office hours; I will answer as many questions as I can. Think about the problems first, of course; but if you get stuck somewhere, that's an opportunity for a great learning moment, and I will be happy to help you get unstuck and progress forward.
For any mathematical questions you may have outside of office hours concerning MATH 101, please use Piazza, instead of by email; I will simply direct math questions to Piazza in my reply to any such emails, so it's quicker to go there first. If you have logistical questions or questions about your status within the course as a whole, you may also ask me via Piazza (you can post questions privately to me), or you can also email me if necessary. Don't forget about all the other helpful resources and helpful people available to you for this course.

The topics for MATH 101 are organized into 12 “units” as given in the table below. Each “unit” corresponds to a single WeBWorK assignment with the corresponding number. A “unit” represents approximately one week (150–160 minutes) of class time, although not necessarily an exact calendar week. This table indicates the sections in each of the recommended textbooks where the unit's topics can be found (not all topics appear in all books).
