Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals, by James Stewart; 8th Edition, Brooks Cole. Important: in addition to the printed textbook you need to have access to WebAssign because part of your homework may be assigned there. This is particularly important if you are going to continue with calculus during the fall or spring semester when Web Assign is required. Please note that you can purchase the textbook at the bookstore or at the microsite created by Cengage, the publisher, for Temple Students: www.cengagebrain.com/course/1636887.
Course Goals: To teach techniques and applications of integration and infinite series.
Topics Covered: Definite integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, techniques of integration, areas, volume by slicing, improper integrals, sequences, infinite series, power series, Taylor and Maclaurin series.
Course Grading: Quizzes: 15%, Test 1: 25%, Test 2: 25%, Comprehensive Final Exam: 35%.
Exam Dates: Test 1 - Thursday, June 1, Test 2 - Friday, June 16, Final - Monday, June 26.
Attendance Policy: Attendance is required. Students who miss more than 4 classes without an excuse will have their grades lowered by one notch (e.g., from B to B-). Those who miss more than 8 classes will have their grades lowered by two notches, etc.
Calculator Policy: No calculator or cheat sheets will be allowed on any exams or quizzes.
Make Up Policy: No make ups for missed quizzes will be given. However, before calculating your quiz average for the course, your lowest quiz score will be dropped; if you must miss a quiz due to an emergency, you should use that as the score to be dropped. No make ups for missed exams will be given except in cases of DOCUMENTED emergencies. If such an emergency occurs, a student MUST contact their instructor AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (preferably by e-mail) in order to make make up arrangements. All make ups must be taken within two days of the missed test. No make ups will be given after graded tests are returned to any of the sections.
Letter Grades: 93-100 A, 90-92 A-, 87-89 B+, 83-86 B, 80-82 B-, 77-79 C+, 73-76 C, 70-72 C-, 65-69 D+, 55-64 D, 50-54 D-, 0-49 F.
Electronic Devices Policy: All electronic devices must be turned off and put away for the duration of the class.
Exam Security Policy: We have a zero tolerance policy for cheating on the tests. Any student caught cheating will receive a score of 0 on the test and will be reported to the Student Code of Conduct Board. All electronic devices such as cell phones, computers, or smart watches items must be turned off and stowed away and out of sight for the duration of the exam. Any student found with such a device during an exam will not be allowed to complete the test and will receive a score of 0 for the test, and will be reported to the Student Code of Conduct Board. In addition, under no circumstances, will students be allowed to bring in any kind of papers for use during the exam. Should a student need extra paper during a test, he/she should ask the instructor to provide it. Any student found using papers that they themselves brought into the exam will not be allowed to complete the exam and will receive a score of 0 for the test.
Communication Etiquette: Please view correspondence with me as a professional interaction. Some tips on appropriate communication can be found here: https://static01.nyt.com/section/opinion/WorthenEtiquetteHandout.pdf and here: http://college.usatoday.com/2012/03/15/five-things-to-remember-when-e-mailing-a-professor/.
Homework Policy: A complete list of homework problems is provided. You are expected to do all problems on the list. The homework will not be collected for grading, but you should be doing the problems and asking questions on them in class as necessary.
Quiz Policy: There will be two or three quizzes each week. The quizzes will cover the material in the homework so it is extremely important that you do all of your homework. Quizzes will take roughly 20 minutes of class time and will be held at the end of class. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped before calculating your course quiz average.
Tips for Success: The key to success in this course is spending time doing problems. There is simply no substitute for solving problems and writing out your complete solutions. Watching me solve the problems, watching a tutor solve the problems, solving problems half way or looking at solutions in solution manuals are not enough. Going through problems on WebAssign is also not enough. You MUST be spending at least an hour each and every day working on homework problems. When you run into problems, then you can look for hints -- come to my office hours, go to CLASS or MCC tutoring, work with a friend, look at a solution manual, watch a video of a similar problem -- and try to solve the problem with hints. Once you can do that, then go back to the problem the next day (and the next!) and work until you can solve the problem on your own with no outside supports. You need to spend time on this course, please plan accordingly.
Any student who has a need for accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me privately to discuss the specific situation as soon as possible. Contact Disability Resources and Services at (215) 204-1280, 100 Ritter Annex, to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
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. Check the University calendar for exact dates.
During the first two weeks of the fall or spring semester, 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.
