The text is "Calculus and its Applications," thirteenth edition, by
Goldstein, Lay, Schneider, and Asmar.
Your grade will be determined from the
following. If your final total is at least 90% (resp. 80, 70, 60),
you are guaranteed of getting at least an A- (resp. B-, C-, D-).
- 100--Quizzes and homework
- 100--First hour exam
- 100--Second hour exam
- 200--Final exam
Your lowest midterm will only count half, if doing so improves your grade.
In this case, your total would be out of 450, rather than 500.
Two types of problems are assigned. The "Suggested problems" are not to be handed in. You can find the
answers to them in the back of the book to check your work. You are strongly
encouraged to work these problems. Many exam and quiz problems will
be almost identical to some of the suggested problems.
The "Hand-in problems" are to be handed in on the indicated date. They will be graded on
a 20-point basis. Depending on the length of the assignment,
it is possible that some of the problems might not be graded. The solutions to the Hand-in Problems will be posted
on Course Site by 4 PM the day 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.
You may work together as much as you wish on the Suggested Problems.
However, on the Hand-in Problems, you may not collaborate,
except for preliminary discussion.
Students found to be copying on hand-in homework may be taken before the
Disciplinary Committee.
10-minute quizzes will usually take place
in recitation.
Quizzes will be
composed of problems extremely similar to Suggested Problems based
on a recent previous lecture. If you miss a quiz for a reason which your
TA considers excusable, you will receive a score of 17 out of 20.
Quizzes will be graded on a 20-point basis. Half-credit (10 points)
is given just for handing in the quiz; this is to reward attendance.
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 will be during class on Sept 30 and Nov 11.
In order to be considered
for a makeup of an hour exam, you must notify the professor in advance
with ample documentation. If your excuse is deemed acceptable,
you will be given a makeup exam six days after the regular exam at 4:10
PM.
The final exam will cover material
from the entire semester, with a heavy emphasis on material subsequent to the
second hour exam.
Attendance is required.
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.
Turn off and put away cell phones. No texting during class is allowed.
Laptops may be used only with prior approval by the professor.
In addition to the office hours of the professor and TA 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.
