HERE ARE SOME RULES FOR EXAM 1 FALL 2003.

• 1.) No notes, books, or classmates may be used as resources for this exam. YOU MAY USE A CALCULATOR ON THIS EXAM.
• 2.) You will be graded on proper use of limit notation.
• 3.) You may NOT use L'Hopital's Rule, whatever that is.
• 4.) You may NOT use the shortcut (from the book) on finding limits to infinity.
• 5.) Using only a calculator to determine limits will receive little credit.
• 6.) Read directions to each problem carefully. Show all work for full credit. In most cases, a correct answer with no supporting work will NOT receive full credit. What you write down and how you write it are the most important means of your getting a good score on this exam. Neatness and organization are also important.
