Text:Stewart, Calculus, Early Transcendentals, Volume I.We will cover chapters 7 - 12, with the following exceptions: 7.5, 7.6, 8.4, 8.5, 10.5, 10.6, 11.11, 12.6. Grading:
Homework:Unless otherwise indicated, the assigned problems for each week are due the following Tuesday at the beginning of workshop.We encourage you to discuss homework problems with your classmates. This is one of the best ways to improve your understanding of the course. However, when you write up your solutions, you must do this on your own, unless specifically instructed to submit an assignment in groups. Collaboration during the write-up stage or handing in homework that is almost identical to a classmate's is a form of cheating and may result in a score of zero. Your homework should be neatly and clearly written, with all work shown. Late homework will be graded only under unusual circumstances and only if arrangements have been made in advance. The lecture schedule and homework assignments are listed on a separate page. Workshop:The heart of the IT Calculus program is the workshop, where you will work on problems with your classmates, under the guidance of your teaching assistant. The general goals of the course are to improve our critical thinking skills and to improve our mathematical communication, written and spoken. By learning from others and teaching others, we meet these goals more effectively.Come to workshop and to lecture prepared to engage the material: read the relevant section of the textbook in advance, try some of the assigned problems, and participate without distractions like newspapers and electronic devices. Gateway exam:Early in the semester, after we complete chapter 7, there will be a gateway exam in workshop. This exam focuses on the routine aspects of techniques of integration, so that topics that require more critical thinking skill can be emphasized on the midterms and final exam. To earn all 50 points, you must answer at least 80% of the problems completely correctly. If you do not, you will have a second chance for 40 points, a third chance for 30 points, and so on.Exams:The dates of the midterms are Thursdays October 2, October 30, and December 4. You will have the option of taking the midterm from 5:00 to 6:00 PM or from 6:10 to 7:10 PM. The final exam is Friday, December 12, from 1:30 to 4:30 PM.Calculators:Graphing calculators are permitted on the midterms and final exam, but not on the gateway exam.Makeups:Students who have a conflict with a midterm or the final exam must inform the lecturer or teaching assistant well in advance. Exam absences due to recognized University related activities, religious holidays, verifiable illness, and family/medical emergencies will be dealt with on an individual basis. See official University Policy on Makeup Examinations for Legitimate Absences.Scholastic conduct:We expect the highest standards of conduct from members of this class. Cases of academic dishonesty will be treated seriously. See Student Conduct Code.Drop date:September 15 is the last day to cancel a course without receiving a W on your transcript. It is important that you check your progress in the course before that date, through lecture, workshop, and graded homework.Back to MATH 1372 page.
