Textbook: James Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals. Cengage Learning, 8th edition. IMPORTANT: together with the textbook you need to have access to WebAssign because part of your homework will be assigned there. IF YOU TOOK MATH 1041 IN OR AFTER THE FALL 2015, YOU SHOULD ALREADY HAVE THIS BOOK AND THE WebAssign ACCESS. If this is not the case, you can purchase a standalone WebAssign Instant Access (it is called WebAssign Instant Access for Calculus, Multi-Term Courses, 1st Edition) and use the electronic version of the textbook (eBook). Or you can purchase the Bundle that contains both the paper textbook (loose leaf version) and the WebAssign Printed Access Card for Stewart's Calculus: Early Transcendentals; 8th Edition; Multi-Term. The publisher (Cengage) created a special site for Temple students where you can buy either of these two versions for a discounted price ($125 for the standalone access and about $144 for the Bundle): http://services.cengagebrain.com/course/site.html?id=2983584 (As of Jan 9 this website says "Calc 1", but it is for all Calculus classes and the vendor has promised to change the wording) You can also buy the Bundle at the Main Campus Temple Bookstore (http://www.temple.edu/bookstore), but it will cost $172. Please DO NOT buy any EARLIER edition of this book. Please also 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 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 according to the following scheme: Review (WebAssign assignment) - 1%, Homework assigned on WebAssign - 4%, Quiz Average - 12%, Exam 1 - 24%, Exam 2 - 24%, Final Exam - 35%.
Exam Dates: We will have two common midterms: Test 1: Tuesday, February 19, from 5:50 PM to 7:20 PM; Test 2: Tuesday, April 9, from 5:50 PM to 7:20 PM, and the comprehensive common Final Exam: Thursday, May 2, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. Locations for each exam will be announced at least one week in advance of each exam.
Attendance Policy: Attendance is required. Students who miss more than 3 classes without an excuse will have their grades lowered by one notch (e.g., from B to B-). Those who miss more than 7 classes without an excuse will have their grades lowered by two notches, etc.
Calculator Policy: NO CALCULATORS may be used during quizzes or exams.
Homework: Homework will be regularly assigned from the textbook and will be the basis for the weekly quizzes. A part of that assigned homework will be submitted using WebAssign (WA). It will be graded by the computer. Your result for the WA part of the homework will be counted as 4% of your Course Average.
Quizzes: There will be eight section-specific quizzes throughout the semester; quizzes will be based on assigned homework problems. There will be no make up quizzes.
Review Assignments: There will be a review assignment on integration (Sections 5.4 and 5.5) which will be given on WebAssign during the second week of the semester. The grade for the review assignment will be counted as 1% of your Course Average.
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 hospital or police) must be provided. If you miss an exam, you must contact your instructor AND Professor Boris Datskovsky (Director of Advising and Coordinated Courses) by e-mail right away (the email address of Professor Datskovsky is: bdats@temple.edu). All make ups must be taken within two days of the exam date.
Canvas: This is a registered Canvas course. Please go there regularly to see important announcements.
Common Final Exam: The final exam will be held on Thursday, May 2, 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.

Exam Security Policy: The use of personal electronic devices (such as calculators, phones, computers, smart watches, etc) is prohibited during an assessment. All such items must be stored out of sight during an assessment. A student found using a prohibited device will not be allowed to complete the assessment, will receive a score of zero for the assessment, and will be reported to the Student Code of Conduct Board. In addition, no extra paper may be brought for use during an assessment. Should extra paper be needed, a proctor will provide it. A student found using paper that they brought into an assessment will not be allowed to complete the assessment, will receive a score of zero for the assessment, and will be reported to the Student Code of Conduct Board.
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 Drop/Add period, students may drop a course with no record of the class appearing on their transcript. Students are not financially responsible for any courses dropped during this period. In the following weeks prior to or on the withdrawal date students may withdraw from a course with the grade of "W" appearing on their transcript. After the withdrawal date students may not withdraw from courses. Check the University Calendar (Opens in new tab/window) for exact dates. See the full policy by clicking here.

The grade "I" (an "incomplete") is only given if students cannot complete the course work due to circumstances beyond their control. It is necessary for the student to have completed the majority of the course work with a passing average and to sign an incomplete contract which clearly states what is left for the student to do and the deadline by which the work must be completed. The incomplete contract must also include a default grade that will be used in case the "I" grade is not resolved by the agreed deadline. See the full policy by clicking here.
