most of Chapters 10-13.
Additional Resources: The textbook comes packaged with CalcPortal , a suite of tools including an e-book version of the text, detailed examples, and practice problems. Course materials and assignments will be posted to Blackboard as well as here. The Blackboard site also contains an electronic gradebook where you can view your scores and calculate your current average. Prerequisites: A satisfactory grade in Math 252, and concurrent enrollment in Math 257 - Calculus Lab. Homework: The course syllabus and a list of homework assignments will be posted here. Homework assignments are due in lecture on Tuesday. Late homeworks will not be accepted; however the lowest score will be dropped when computing your overall homework grade. You are permitted, perhaps encouraged, to discuss homework problems with other students. This collaboration should not extend to the process of writing up solutions. The work that you turn in should be written by you, in your own words, without supervision or other well-meaning influence from anyone else. Quizzes: Given in class each week usually on Thursday.
Grading:
15% Homework, 5% Quizzes, 20% Each Midterm Exam,
40% Final Exam.
Exam Dates: Midterms in class on October 21 (Thurs.) and November 16 (Tues.). Final: Tuesday, Dec. 7, 6:30-8:30pm. 704 Old Chem. You are expected to attend class and take exams as they are scheduled. Unexcused absence from the midterm exam carries a penalty of one full letter grade reduction from your final course grade. Students who miss the final exam, without a valid and well-documented explanation will automatically fail the course.
Medical Contingencies: Missed midterm exams will not be made up; the remaining homework and final exam will be given correspondingly more weight to take up the slack. In order to do this, I must receive written confirmation of the severity of your illness, and preferably a letter from the Dean's office requesting special consideration. Please review the university's information about H1N1 flu, which is posted at the following web address: http://www.uc.edu/pubsafety/emergency_services/Swine_Flu.html Do not come to class if you are sick. Notify your instructor(s) that you will miss class and make arrangements to make up all course work. Students with special needs should meet with the instructor as soon as possible to arrange for reasonable provisions to ensure an equitable opportunity to meet all of the requirements of this course. At the discretion of the instructor, some accommodations my require prior approval by Disability Services.
Academic Integrity:
Quite simply, you are expected to do your own work, using only the resources
authorized by the course instructor. Any attempt to cheat on exams and/or
assignments, to circumvent course policies, or to receive credit for work that
is not your own, will be punished in accordance with the University Rules and
Code of Conduct.
In this course you may collaborate with other students while attempting to
solve homework problems, but only under the guidelines described above.
Your work on any
exam, whether in class or take-home, must be entirely your own. If you are
having difficulty with a particular exam question, it is permissible to ask
the instructor (but no-one else) for clarification. For more information, see the
UC
Student Code of Conduct. |
