COURSE INFORMATION
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a one semester course in Calculus. The 7.5 quarter hours will equate to a five hour semester course at other institutions. It covers the topics described in the course objectives below.
COURSE PREREQUISITES Math 2410, or Assessment Testing
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of MATH 2411 each student will be able to:
1. Differentiate and integrate logarithmic, exponential, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions.
2. Recognize and use various techniques of integration.
3. Evaluate indeterminate forms.

4. Evaluate improper integrals.
5. Determine the convergence or divergence of infinite series.
6. Evaluate definite integrals by numerical methods.
7. Derive power series for functions using these to help in differentiation, integration, and computation.

Class Structure
The daily class period will consist of:
1. review of material and questions from the previous class
2. presentation of new material
3. discussion of the lecture material
4. in-class time for practice, quizzes and exams
5. Bring the assignment to each class with all problems completed or with your questions if it is not completed. Problems should be done neatly with a systematic approach, as that method will aid in your understanding.
6. Take notes on the lecture material and read the textbook material for further explanation.
7. Participate in class discussions by offering ideas, answering questions asked by the instructor and asking questions.
8. Keep up with assignments regularly as a great deal of the material builds on previous material. Do not get behind!
9. Work with classmates, friends, tutors or Math/Learning Center personnel. Form study groups. The instructor is also available for help outside of class. Use all available resources.
10. Contact the instructor as soon as there is a problem.
ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT WORK
Types of Assessment/Assignments
A. Six Tests:

A minimum of Six in-class, closed-book exams, covering all the required objectives will be administered to the students individually. There will be a portion of each exam that will be completed outside of class.

Material presented in class as well as material found in the text may be covered.


B. In Class Quizzes, or Individual & Group Activitites

Almost daily, there will be a very short quiz or individual & Group activities worth between two to four points toward your Attendance/Homework Grade. These points can not be made up and are lost when you are absent. These points will be added to your Daily
Assignments and Attendance Points to form one average for the Attendance/Homework
Grade.
C. Daily Assignments

A listing of assignments for the entire chapter will be given at the beginning of each new chapter. At the beginning of each class session, we will go through questions from the previous days assignment. Several of the problems will be highlighted in each section to be handed in to your instructor the next day. These solutions will be worth a maximum of 4 points per section, unless otherwise noted. These points will be added to your Quizzes,
Individual & Group Work, and Attendance points to form one average for the
Attendance/Homework Grade.

Problems should be done neatly with a systematic approach, as that method will help in your understanding. Problem sets with answers only (without necessary work shown) will receive 0 points.
D. Attendance Points

Each student will be awarded one point for each class session they are present in class.
There are 44 class sessions in the quarter, and the maximum number of points possible for attendance will be 40. These 40 points will be added to your points from Daily
Assignments, Quizzes, and Individual & Group Work to form one average for the
Attendance/Homework Grade.
E. Attendance/Assignment Average

This average is the sum of all possible points from Parts B, C, and D divided by the total possible number of points. The final Attendance/Assignment average will be assigned a percentage grade and have the value of one exam.
Make-up Tests and Procedures
Absence on a Test Day: (see last page for dates). Please make prior arrangements with the instructor and the Testing Center. There will be a 10% deduction in your grade if I am not contacted in person, or by phone message/email on or before the time when the test is administered in class.

To make up a TEST, you will need to call the Testing Centers at:
EVC: 289-1278 , Room 217
SOC: 738-4613, Connector Bldg., Room 102
FOC#10: 457-2204, Room 105A
Sarpy Center: 537-3800, Student Services
Late Assignments

Daily Assignments: will be considered to be late and not considered for credit if they are not turned in from within two class days of when discussed in class.


Quizzes and Daily Group Work: These points can not be made up and are lost when you are absent.

Attendance Points: Thes e points are lost and can’t be made up if you are absent for any reason.

Tests: If you need to miss an exam, contact me before or the day of the test to schedule a makeup time in the Testing Center. If you find you will be absent the day of the test, leave me a message at 289-1358 the day of the test, and I will return your call to set up a makeup time. If you do not contact me, a 10% reduction in the final grade will result. This applies to both the completion of the in class and take home portions of the exam.
Grading Policy
Final average will be based on:
Six Tests 100 points apiece for a total of: 600 points
Attendance/HomeworkDaily Average
Your total points will be averaged to have a percentage value between 0 and 100%
100 points
Total Points 700 points
Important Note: At the end of the quarter I will take the average of the six in class portions of your TESTS. You must have at least a 60% average on your In Class
TEST average to receive a grade of C or higher for the Final Grade.
Grading scale: 90% and above: A
80% and above: B
70% and above: C
60% and above: D
below 60%: F
3. Maintenance of Student Records:
TESTS: I will try to return your tests and go over them within one week of the time when
the test was administered. You will return your tests to me after you have reviewed them.
I will keep them in my office for at least one quarter following the class.
In Class Quizzes, Individual & Group Work, and Daily Assignments : I will return this
work to you for your review and records as soon as possible after it has been graded.
Grade Books: I retain the Gradebook indefinitely following the class.
Length of keeping tests : I keep all TESTS for at least one quarter.
ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT LEARNING PROGRAM
Metropolitan Community College is committed to continuous improvement of teaching and learning. You may be asked to help us to accomplish this objective. For example, you may be asked to respond to surveys or questionnaires. In other cases, tests or assignments you are required to do for this course may be shared with faculty and used for assessment purposes.

USE OF STUDENT WORK
By enrolling in classes offered by Metropolitan Community College, the student gives the
College license to mark on, modify, and retain the work as may be required by the process of instruction, as described in the course syllabus. The institution shall not have the right to use the work in any other manner without the written consent of the student(s).
INSTRUCTOR’S EXPECTATIONS OF
STUDENTS
Attendance Policy
Class attendance is REQUIRED. The student must make up all work that is missed.
Attendance is one of the most important factors in any class. Excessive unexplained absences will result in an Instructor Withdrawal (IW) or failing grade (F). Absences DO
NOT alter what is expected of you. Material presented in class is not necessarily in the textbook.
Expected Classroom Behavior
The basic idea is for any student who wishes to learn to have that opportunity.
Questions are part of learning. Questions are valuable. Be respectful of your classmates.
However, there should be no side conversations when the class as a unit is trying to learn a topic. If you have questions, please feel free to jump in and ask your question. If you really need to talk to a classmate about math, please wait until break or until we do small group activities.
Class Participation
I expect students to actively participate in the learning process. It is not unusual for every student to be called upon for some contribution. I will try to watch to see if you have questions, but otherwise raise your hand. If you are very shy, let me know.
Sometimes we will be working in pairs or small groups.
Tests will be given individually, with closed book and no notes.
Disruptive Classroom Behavior
If you need to enter or leave the classroom when class is in session, please do so quietly and unobtrusively. It is distracting to the instructor and to the students to have this occur frequently, but we all understand emergencies.
Lengthy classes may mean students or instructors need food or water. In classes lasting more than an hour and a half, there will be breaks, but if in addition you wish drink, it should be in a container with a lid, to avoid spills. If you bring food into the classroom, you should bring an amount obviously enough for everyone, and then clearly offer to share.
Cell phones are to be put on silent or else turned off.
Notice: This syllabus is written as an expectation of class topics, learning activities, and expected learning outcomes. However, the instructor reserves the right to make changes

in this schedule that may result in enhanced or more effective learning for students. These modifications will not substantially change the intent or objectives of this course, and will be done within the policies and guidelines of Metropolitan Community College.
COMMUNICATION EXPECTATIONS
When you communicate with others in this course, you must follow the Student Code of
Conduct ( http://www.mccneb.edu/catalog/studentinformation.asp
), which calls for responsible and cooperative behavior. Please think critically, ask questions, and challenge ideas, but also show respect for the opinions of others, respond to them politely, and maintain the confidentiality of thoughts expressed in the class. You may also wish to review information at http://www.albion.com/netiquette/.
ACADEMIC HONESTY STATEMENT
Students are reminded that materials they use as sources for classwork may be subject to copyright protection. Additional information about copyright is provided on the library website at http://www.mccneb.edu/library or by your instructor. In response to incidents of student dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, etc.), the College imposes specific actions that may include receiving a failing grade on a test, failure in the course, suspension from the
College, or dismissal from the College. Disciplinary procedures are available in the
Advising/Counseling Centers or at http://www.mccneb.edu/procedures/V-
4_Student_Conduct_and_Discipline.pdf
.
STUDENT WITHDRAWAL
If you cannot complete this course, you should officially withdraw by calling Central
Registration, (402) 457-5231 or 1-800-228-9553. Failure to officially withdraw will result in either an attendance related failure (FX), or failing (F) grade.
An attendance related failure means that a student has not attended class for two consecutive weeks, nor has that student completed course work within the due dates listed on the course calendar within any two week time frame. At this time I stop grading assignments and an FX will be your final grade.
A student will receive a failing grade if completed course work is incomplete, late or accumulated grades earned are below 60% of one’s final grade.
The last day date that you may withdraw is October 31 st , 2009.
Students who attend no class meetings up to September 14 th , 2009 may be disenrolled from the class. There is no appeal for this disenrollment.
LEARNING SUPPORT
MCC's Academic Resource Centers, Math Centers, and Writing Centers
Offer friendly, supportive learning environments that can help students achieve educational success. Staff members in these centers provide free drop-in assistance with basic computing, reading, math, and writing skills. Self-paced, computer-assisted
