If it is not the case, you can buy: (1) you can buy ePack: textbook and the multi-term LOE (life of edition) instant access code for $132 by going to the microsite created by the publisher for Temple students at http://www.cengagebrain.com/course/site.html?id=1-1VUPJG9 (2) Or, at the same site, http://www.cengagebrain.com/course/site.html?id=1-1VUPJG9 , you can buy the Enhanced WebAssign, 2 terms (12 months) Instant Access for Calculus, Multi-Term Courses, 1st Edition for $118 (it does not contain a printed textbook, but lets you access the electronic version of the textbook) (3) or the textbook with WebAssign access at the Temple Bookstore (http://www.temple.edu/bookstore) for about $213. Please DO NOT buy any used books since they will not let you access WebAssign (the WebAssign codes ARE NOT transferable).
Course Goals: To teach techniques and fundamental theory of integration and applications of definite integrals and infinite series.
Topics Covered: The definite integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, applications of the definite integral, techniques of integration, improper integrals, sequences and series, including power and Taylor series.
Course Grading: Your course grade will be computed using the webassign and without using the webassign and you will receive the higher of the two grades. A word to the wise: you should do all of the webassign problems until you get them correct. You can ask about the assignments in class, in office hours, and in the MSRC. Webassign - 6%, Quiz Average - 12%, Exam 1 - 24%, Exam 2 - 24%, Final Exam - 34%.
Exam Dates: Test 1 - Approximately Wednesday, September 30; Test 2 - Approximately Wednesday, November 11, (5:50 - 7:20 pm); Final Exam - Thursday, December 10, (3:30 - 5:30 pm). The final exam will be coordinated by the department. Dates, times, and locations of all exams will be announced at least a week before the exam.
Attendance Policy: Attendance is required. This includes being on time and refraining from distracting behavior such as texting during class. Since this is an honors class, the above policy goes without saying. Disruptive behavior will result in loss of quiz points at a minimum.
Calculator Policy: NO CALCULATORS will be used during the exams or quizzes.
Homework: As mentioned above, we will be using webassign for the homework for this course. In addition, some practice problems will be assigned from the textbook. These additional problems will not be graded, but will help you understand the material and prepare for quizzes and exams.
Quizzes: Every week that there isn't an exam there will be a quiz on Friday. The quiz will always be based on the previous week's material.
Make Up Policy: There will be NO MAKE UP exams except in the case of a DOCUMENTED EMERGENCY, like an illness or an accident. The documents confirming the emergency (from a doctor, etc.) must be provided. If an emergency comes up, you must contact me by e-mail right away. All make ups must be taken within two days of the exam date.
Blackboard: This is a registered Blackboard course. Please go there often to keep up with important announcements.
Common Final Exam: Final exam will be held on Thursday, December 10, from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Please note that if you miss the final exam and do not make alternative arrangements before the grades are turned in, your grade for the course will be F.

Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The University has adopted a policy on Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities (Policy # 03.70.02) which can be accessed here.

Students will be charged for a course unless dropped by the Drop/Add deadline date given below.

During the first two weeks of the fall or spring semester or summer sessions, students may withdraw from a course with no record of the class appearing on the transcript. In weeks three through nine of the fall or spring semester, or during weeks three and four of summer sessions, the student may withdraw with the advisor's permission. The course will be recorded on the transcript with the instructor's notation of "W," indicating that the student withdrew. After week nine of the fall or spring semester, or week four of summer sessions, students may not withdraw from courses. No student may withdraw from more than five courses during the duration of his/her studies to earn a bachelor's degree. A student may not withdraw from the same course more than once. Students who miss the final exam and do not make alternative arrangements before the grades are turned in will be graded F.

The grade I (an "incomplete") is reserved for extreme circumstances. It is necessary to have completed almost all of the course with a passing average and to file an incomplete contract specifying what is left for you to do. To be eligible for an I grade you need a good reason and you should have missed not more than 25% of the first nine weeks of classes. If approved by the Mathematics Department chair and the CST Dean's office, the incomplete contract must include a default grade that will be used in case the I grade is not resolved within 12 months.
