Calculus II

The text is "Calculus: Early Transcendentals," sixth edition, by Stewart.

Your grade will be determined from the following, scaled at the end of the semester.

10-minute quizzes will be unannounced. They will usually take place in recitation, although some professors may give them occasionally in lecture. Each instructor will announce his policy regarding missed quizzes. Quizzes will be composed of problems extremely similar to suggested problems assigned two or three lectures earlier. Approximately five homework problems will be collected and graded once a week. Solutions to these will be posted on the Blackboard website (under Assignments) the day after they are due. Late homework will not be accepted. If you must miss class on the day HW is due, have someone else hand it in for you. The quizzes and homeworks will comprise one category. The three lowest scores in this category will be dropped, and the rest averaged.

The hour exams occur at 4:10 on February 14 and April 1. Calculators may not be used on the exams. If you miss an hour exam for some compelling reason, then contact your instructor within 24 hours of the exam to explain why you missed the exam. If he accepts your absence as excused, you will be entitled to take a makeup exam at 4:10 six days after the regular exam was given. No one who takes the regular exam may take the makeup exam. The final exam will cover material from the entire semester, with a heavy emphasis on material subsequent to the second hour exam. You will have three hours for it, but it will only be twice as long as the hour exams.

Attendance is required. Attendance will be taken in lecture. A Section 3 report will be filed with the Dean of Students for a student who misses three lectures within a short period of time. A second Section 3 report can result in removal from the course.

There will also be approximately five "Suggested Problems" from each lecture. These will not be collected. Solutions will be posted on Blackboard under Assignments two days after they are assigned. You are strongly encouraged to work these problems. Solutions to many of them will be discussed in recitations. Many exam problems will be very similar to these Suggested Problems.

You may work together as much as you wish on the Suggested Problems. However, on the Graded Homework Problems, you may not collaborate, except for preliminary discussion. If students are suspected of copying homework, an escalating system or warnings and penalties will be imposed.

In addition to the office hours of the professors and TAs for this course, there are several ways in which students can receive help. Most highly recommended is the drop-in Math Help Center in the basement of Christmas-Saucon. Its hours and staff will be posted. Also available are the Writing and Math Center in Drown Hall, for which a student must schedule regular appointments, and the peer tutoring services organized through the University Center.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: If you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting accommodations, please contact both your instructor and the Office of Academic Support Services, University Center 212 (610-758-4152) as early as possible in the semester. You must have documentation from the Academic Support Services office before accommodations can be granted.
