This is a second semester calculus course that involves both theory and applications.
Course Grading: Your course grade will be based on quizzes (two quizzes in weeks with no scheduled test and one quiz in the weeks with scheduled tests) and weekly homework assignments, Exam 1, Exam 2 and and a cumulative Exam 3. The course grade will be computed as follows: Exams 1 & 2 - 25% each; Exam 3 (cumulative) 30%; Quizzes 15%; and 5% for homework.
Exam Dates: Exam 1: Thursday, July 20th, Exam 2: Tuesday August 8th, Exam 3 : Tuesday August 15th.
Attendance Policy: Regular attendance and class participation are expected. Attendance will be taken regularly. Students who miss more than 4 classes without a good reason will have their grade reduced by one notch, e.g. from B to B-. I reserve the right to require documentation for any absences.
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 a withdrawal form is processed by a registration office of the University by the Drop/Add deadline date given below. For this semester, the crucial dates are as follows:
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.
