Welcome to the course webpage for the Summer 2021 (First Session) manifestation of MATH 22: Introduction to Calculus of Several Variables at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Weekly Assignments (40% of Final Grade)

• Assignment Description: There are 4 weekly homework assignments, assigned (approximately weekly) during the first four weeks. Typically, weekly assignments will consist of 5-7 problems that require you to synthesize ideas we encountered in class. Problems will ordinarily come from the textbook, but will sometimes be written by me. You will submit a detailed write-up of your solutions to gradescope.
• Purpose: This is a summative assessment designed to assess your learning each week. Additionally, each writing assignment provides you with an opportunity to synthesize ideas from class and to practice your written communication skills by writing convincing mathematical arguments.
• Basis for Evaluation: Each writing assignment (four in total) is worth a significant portion (approximately 10%, depending on the number of problems) of your final grade. You will be evaluated not only on the correctness of your computations, but also the clarity of your reasoning, your conceptual understanding of the problem, and the effectiveness of your communication.
  
  More specifically, each problem in a Written Assignment will be worth 16 points. Your score for each question will depend on the graders determination of your proficiency in each of the following categories:
  • Conceptual Understanding
  • Strategies & Reasoning
  • Computation & Execution; and
  • Communication.
  You can earn up to 4 points for each category. The grader determines your score for each category using the Weekly Assignment Rubric.
