objectives
The purpose of this course is to give the student a knowledge of the theory of calculus and of its usefulness in selected applications. The student will be expected to be able to explain, using proper terminology, the basic ideas of calculus and to solve computational problems using good technique.
attendance
I strongly advise you to attend class regularly. A student absent from class bears the full responsibility for all subject matter and procedural information discussed in class.
courtesy
Generally, I expect you to get to class on time and not to leave class until I have dismissed it. If you must leave class early, please let me know before class begins.
grading
There will be four 100 point tests and a 200 point two part (100 points each) final examination. There are two options available for determining your course grade (on a scale of 0 to 500).
Option 1: Add the four test grades and Part 1 of the final exam grade.
Option 2: Replace the lowest of the first three test grades with Part 2 of the final exam grade, then add as in Option 1.
The numerical grade will be converted to a letter grade according to the following cutoffs: A: 458; A-: 448; B+: 438; B: 408; B-: 398; C+: 388; C: 358; C-: 348; D: 300.
makeups
No makeups are given. If you miss a test, 0 will be entered for your grade on that test.
