Professor:   Dr. Eric Klassen, 109 Love Building, 644-2202, klassen@math.fsu.edu

Course Website:   http://www.math.fsu.edu/~klassen/HonorsCalcII/index.html

Office Hours: MWF 1:30-2:30pm

Eligibility: You must have completed MAC2311 (Calc I) with a grade of C- or better, or passed an equivalent course at another university, or scored at least a 3 on either the AB or BC AP Calculus Exam.

Text: The required text is Calculus (early transcendentals), 7th edition, by James Stewart. I strongly suggest that you read each section of the text carefully before AND after the class period in which it is discussed.

Course Content: Chapters 7-11 of the text.

Course Objectives:  To learn techniques and applications of integration, differential equations, parametric equations, polar coordinates, and infinite sequences and series.

Tests:  There will be three unit tests and a comprehensive final exam.

Homework:  One of the great pleasures of learning calculus is that it confers on the student the ability to solve many problems that are difficult or impossible without it.  Working these problems is the best way to learn calculus.  Therefore, I will suggest a list of homework problems  for each section of the text which we cover.  These problems will not be turned in, but I will begin each class period with a discussion of some of the problems assigned in the previous period.  I hope you will work on these problems right away, and bring your questions and comments to contribute to these discussions!

Quizzes:  To give me some regular feedback on your progress, as well as to motivate you to keep up with the material, I will give a short quiz appoximately once a week at the beginning of the period. The dates of these quizzes will be announced in class and on the website I maintain for this section.  I expect to take many of the problems on the quizzes directly from the suggested homework,  which gives you another reason to work the homework problems!

Grading:  Your final grade will be computed as follows:
 

Unit Test 1 (Tuesday, Feb. 5):	20%
Unit Test 2 (Thursday, March 7):	20%
Unit Test 3 (Thursday, April 11):	20%
Final Exam (Thursday, May 2, 12:30-2:30pm):	30%
Quiz Total:	10%
Total:	100%

A	90-100
B	80-90
C	70-80
D	60-70
F	0-60

Final Examination: The final examination will be held on Thursday, May 2, 12:30-2:30pm.

Math Help Center: The Math Help Center is located in 110 MCH (Milton Carothers Hall) next door to the Love Building. Some of its staffers can help with Calc II. For information about the help center, including its hours, click here.

Attendance/Makeup Policy:  I do not take attendance.  If you miss a class period, you are still responsible for learning the material covered on the day you missed, and also for any work which was assigned on the day you missed.  If you miss a test or quiz because of an unexcused absence, you will receive a 0 on that test or quiz.  If you miss a test or quiz because of an excused absence, I will use your score on the final exam as your score on that test or quiz. For an absence to be excused, you must either discuss it with me in advance or, in case of illness, bring me a note from a doctor specifically stating that you were too sick to be there. (A note stating simply that you were seen that day by a doctor will not suffice.)

Honor Code:  The FSU Student Handbook includes a section on the Honor Code and the official procedures for dealing with students who violate it.  Please read this material carefully.  If I catch anyone cheating in any way, I will follow these procedures to the letter.  This situation has arisen in the past and believe me, it's not worth the risk!

Americans With Disabilities Act:  Students with disabilities needing academic accommodation should: (1) register with and provide documentation to the Student Disability Resource Center; and (2) bring a letter to the instructor indicating the need for accommodation and what type. This should be done during the first week of class. This syllabus and other class materials are available in alternative format upon request.

The Faculty Senate has directed the faculty to add the following paragraph to all Syllabi:

University Attendance Policy: Excused absences include documented illness, deaths in the family and other documented crises, call to active military duty or jury duty, religious holy days, and official University activities. These absences will be accommodated in a way that does not arbitrarily penalize students who have a valid excuse. Consideration will also be given to students whose dependent children experience serious illness.
