Stewart, CALCULUS Early Transcendentals, 6th Edition

Calculator

TI-83+ or TI-84+ (Silver Edition preferred).  Calculators with CAS, such as TI-89 or TI-92, are not allowed.

 

 

Exams:  There will be four tests and a final examination.  DO NOT ASSUME THAT YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO TAKE A MAKE-UP TEST IF YOU MISS A TESTMAKE-UP TESTS WILL BE GIVEN ONLY IN THE CASE OF A VERIFIABLE EMERGENCY, AND ONLY IF I AM NOTIFIED ON OR BEFORE THE DAY OF THE TEST.  The final exam will be comprehensive.

 

Homework:  Homework will be assigned at nearly every class meeting, and should be completed before the following class meeting.  DEDICATING YOURSELF TO DOING A THOROUGH AND RESPONSIBLE JOB ON THE HOMEWORK IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT COMMITMENT THAT YOU CAN MAKE TO ENSURE YOUR SUCCESS IN THIS COURSE.  Each assignment collected is worth a possible 10 points.  Assignments which are turned in late will be worth a possible 5 points.  Late homework will be accepted only up to the day of the test covering that particular homework section.  Please write clearly and show all your work.  The problem statements must be written down (you may paraphrase word problems).  Points may be deducted for excessively messy work.  Do not use paper torn from wire-bound notebooks, as points will be deducted if you do.  DO NOT COPY SOLUTIONS FROM THE SOLUTIONS MANUAL.  IF IT IS APPARENT THAT ONE OR MORE PROBLEMS IS COPIED, YOU MAY RECEIVE A ZERO FOR THE ENTIRE ASSIGNMENT.  There are many resources available to you if you need help with the homework.

 

 

 

 

Attendance:  Attendance will be taken.  You are expected to attend all class meetings.  If you miss a class meeting, you should notify me by phone or e-mail.  It is your responsibility to officially withdraw from a course if you stop attending.  You may or may not be dropped by the instructor for excessive absences.  I will likely drop you from the course if you miss four class meetings or one test.  The last day to drop the course with a grade of “W” is Friday, May 8th.

 

Grading:  There are 1000 points possible for the course, distributed as follows:

         

Homework:  (avg. score)·10 = 100 points

Four tests:  (150 each)·4 = 600 points

          Final examination:  300 points

 

900-1000 = A,  800-899 = B,  700-799 = C,  600-699 = D,  0-599 = F

 

I reserve the right to assign a student a grade higher than what a point total calls for if the student demonstrates adequate improvement and understanding.

 

Cheating:  Anyone found to be seeking help from or providing help to another student on a test will receive a zero on that test.  An “Academic Misconduct Incident Report” may also be filed with the Dean of Science, Math, and Health Sciences and the Dean of Students.  If you are caught cheating, you may not drop the course.  You will be given an “F” if you stop attending.  It is your responsibility to make sure that no one is copying your work.

 

Resources:  There is free tutoring available in the Math Study Center (L-204) and in the Learning Center (U-103).  I strongly encourage students to utilize these resources and to work together outside of class.  Please come see me outside of class if you have any questions regarding the material or the course in general.  You do not need an appointment to see me during my office hours.

 

A student with a disability, who would like to request an academic accommodation, is responsible for identifying herself/himself to the instructor and to the Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSPS). To make arrangements for academic accommodations, contact the Disabled Student Office in Johnson Center, U-103, or phone (714) 564-6264, TTY (714) 564-6284 for a referral to the appropriate DSPS Department.
