TEXT: CALCULUS, 6th ed., by James Stewart.
TESTING: There will be
three 50 minute exams, one final exam at the end of the course, and one
or more 20 minute quizzes. The final exam will be cumulative. The
dates of all tests and quizzes will be announced in class.
GRADING: Each 50 minute exam
will be worth 100 points, each quiz will be worth 30 points, and the
final exam will be worth 200 points. Class participation will
resolve borderline situations for the final grades. I will assign
"+" and "–" grades for this course. Extra credit for up to 10% of the total
points available for quizzes and exams may be awarded for completing
WebWork problems (see below).
COVERAGE: We will cover
most of chapters 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and other topics as time
permits.
CALCULATORS: Calculators are
not permitted for any quiz or exam in this course. For an
interesting study on the possible negative effects of calculators at
the level of university math courses, see:
HOMEWORK: Practice problems
will usually be assigned for each section. It is important to complete
or at least attempt all problems before the next class meeting.
Tests and quizzes will be based largely on the homework. Students are
encouraged to work together outside of class. As the semester
develops, some problems might be assigned via Webwork or another
internet source. In that event, grading policies will be posted
on this site and announced in class.
EXTRA CREDIT
You can get extra credit, as well as valuable practice for exams and
quizzes, by doing WebWork problems. The maximum
extra credit available is10% of the total points for tests and quizzes
(between 50 and 60 points). To work on problems go to:
https://webwork.csun.edu/
From there, you can download the document "First Steps for Students."
