2. Course Description:
A course in calculus applicable to business and the social sciences incorporating a
review of college algebra and studies of linear equations, functions and their
limits, derivations, applications of the derivatives, exponential and logarithmic
functions, anti-derivatives, definite integrals and applications, and numerical
techniques and applications. Prerequisites: MATH 123 or MATH 131. Designed
mainly for business and social science majors
3. TEXTBOOK: Calculus For business, Economics, Life Science, and Social
Science, 11th ed., Raymond Barnett, Michael Ziegler, Karl Byleen, Upper Saddle
River, NJ 07458, Prentice Hall 2008
4. STUDENT LEARINIG OUTCOMES: Students will be able to find a derivative
and integrals of various functions. After the algebra review along with the
derivative and integrals lessons they will also be able to apply this to solve real
life application problems.
5. EVALUATION CRITERIA: Evaluation in the course shall be by continuous
assessment. Mode of assessment would include homework assignments, chapter
exams, class attendance and participation, and final examination. No make-up
test will be given. The lowest test grade will be dropped. The grading scale for
determining the course grade and weights given to various activities are given
below.

 All class discussions should be done in a soberly, orderly, and respectful
manner
7. TEACHING STRATEGIES: The teaching strategy for the course will vary
depending upon the learning styles and strengths of the students enrolled. It is
expected that the instructor will place emphasis on lectures, discussions, review
and analysis, graphing calculator usage, and cooperative learning.
8. Academic Support Resources – Site any academic support resources available
in this class. Use of SI, Smarthinking, Criterion, University College Learning

10. REVISION OF GRADES – STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
WN GRADE DISCONTINUED:
 WN - Withdrawal due to non-attendance - discontinued, effective August 16, 2007.
STUDENTS: Do not expect faculty to withdraw you for non-attendance. Drop or
withdraw* from classes according to the deadlines published in the catalog. *See
warning below about class withdrawals.
NEW TYPE OF GRADE: INTERIM GRADES – (New name for “midterm grade,” with
additional purposes). Interim grades will be assigned from the first week of the semester
until the deadline for class withdrawals. Interim grades are used for informational and
warning purposes only; they are not part of your permanent transcript and have no effect
on your GPA. Instructors may assign interim grade of F to warn students of poor
academic performance or they may assign “X” or “EA” grades. (See below for
explanations) After midterm, faculty will assign all students an interim grade of A – F to
inform students of their academic status as of midterm.
 INTERIM GRADE X = NO SHOW – Assigned to students who are on a class
roster, but never attend class. For warning purposes only; NOT a final grade.
STUDENTS: Check interim grades early in the semester. If you have an X grade,
either begin attending the class or withdraw* from it. *See warning below about
class withdrawals. If you do not take action in response to an X grade, you will
receive a final grade of FN. (See “FN” below)
 INTERIM GRADE EA = EXCESSIVE ABSENCES - Assigned to students whose
class absences exceed 10% of the total contact hours. For warning purposes only,
NOT a final grade.
STUDENTS: Check your interim grades often. If you have an “EA” grade for a
class, you are in jeopardy of failure if you do not take immediate actions. Either
resume attending the class or withdraw from it. *See warning below about class
withdrawals.
NEW FINAL GRADE:
 FN = FAILURE DUE TO NON-ATTENDANCE – Assigned to students who are on
class roster, but never attend the class. An FN grades is equivalent to an F grade in
the calculation of the GPA.
STUDENTS: You must attend (or withdraw* from) all the classes for which you
are enrolled. *See warning below about class withdrawals.
WARNING ABOUT CLASS WITHDRAWALS:
 When you withdraw from a class, you are wasting your money and time. You
receive no refund for withdrawing from individual classes and you slow your
progress toward degree completion.
 If you withdraw from or fail more than one-third of your classes, you will no longer
be eligible for financial aid.
 STRIVE TO EARN CREDIT FOR ALL THE CLASSES IN WHICH YOU
ENROLL; WITHDRAW FROM CLASSES ONLY WHEN IT IS ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY!
