| Text: |
``Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions'' by
Larson, Hostetler, & Edwards, Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin 2007.
We will cover material from
Chapters 10-15.
Topics include Integration, polar coordinates, conic sections, vectors.
|
|
|
| Study Problems: |
Attached is a list of study problems for
each section to be covered. These problems will not be graded;
however, they can be used to earn up to a five percent point on each exam.
The week of each exam, students can show their work on the sections
being tested and earn credit for each section which most study
problems are completed. I will take questions concerning the
study problems during our question and answer session each Monday
11:50-12:40. Some of the study problems are likely to appear on the exams.
The problems are intended to help you learn the material, and
some of them will appear on exams. Ultimately, students are
responsible for their own learning, which may require that doing
more problems than those listed. I am expecting you to be responsible students
and at the very least do the listed problems. I assume that if you are in
Calculus III, that you know the value of doing so.
As further encouragment to do the problems I will state this now.
Most of the exam questions
will be either from homework or like a homework problem (often
from the text). Of course I reserve the right to put a problem or
two which differ from the style of homework problems but cover the
same concepts. |
|
|
| Exams: |
Four in-class exams will be held on {\bf September 18},
October 9, November 6, and December 4
(these dates are Fridays-exams will cover up to preceding Friday, with chance for questions on the Monday before the exam. We will go over the exams the next Monday). The specific material covered by
each exam will be announced in class. The in-class exams cannot be
made up unless arrangements are made at least four weeks in advance.
This will require that you give the instructor written notice of the
date(s) and reasons. If you miss one exam, it will be treated as your
lowest in-class exam which carries no weight in the course grade. A
comprehensive final exam will be held Wednesday, December 9 from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm
in LIF 267.
Graphing calculators and notes are not allowed during any exam. Hats
which block students' eyes also not permitted during exams. Clear water
bottles must have all labels removed.
|
|
|
| Attendance: |
Attendance will not count toward your grade, but I reserve the
right to take attendence if it begins to drop.
However, students are responsible for material presented in lecture
even if it is not in the text and vice versa.
It is my intention to follow the outline of the text. However,
some of the examples will come from other sources. On occasion, students will
need to follow an example from the text to do a problem.
Students who anticipate the necessity of being absent due to
the observation of a ma jor religious holiday must provide notice of the date in writing to
the instructor by the second class meeting.
|
|
|
| Grades: |
The components of the course grade and their weight in the grade
are as follows:
final exam 34%,
lowest in-class exam 0%,
other in-class exams 22% each (for a total of 66%).
If you miss (or choose not to take) one of the in-class exams, it will
be counted as the lowest score.
I will apply mild curves to all exams. Intermediate grades may not use +/-,
but the final grade will |

| Notes and Tapes: |
You are expected to take notes.
All unauthorized recordings of class are prohibited.
Recordings that accommodate individual student needs must be
approved in advance and may be used for personal use during the
semester only; redistribution is prohibited.
