Course preparation
In addition to attendance in each lecture and discussion, each student is expected to complete at least
the following in order to successfully prepare for examinations in this course:
1. Read the textbook section(s) before each corresponding lecture.
2. Attempt each recommended problem from the textbook and course supplements
3. Complete WebAssign homework
Missed coursework policy
In the event of an extreme circumstance in accordance with university policy resulting in absence from
an exam, a student may be permitted to take a makeup exam. In general, there are no makeups for
quizzes, homeworks, or worksheets. As a result, I will drop at least the lowest 3 quizzes, 3 homeworks,
and 3 worksheets for each student.
Additional resources
In addition to the vast array of online calculus resources (including the MIT Open Courseware videos
suggested on the lecture schedule page), there are many opportunities to receive in-person assistance,
including:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Math141 on Piazza (piazza.com) to seek or give assistance in solving problems from the course.
Exam review sessions (the week of each exam)
T.A. and instructor office hours

Math department tutoring (http://www-math.umd.edu/math-tutoring-schedule.html)
Academic integrity
You are encouraged to seek help from as many outside resources that you can, including other students.
However, quizzes and exams are for individual assessment, and cheating will not be tolerated. Make sure
that you know the policies on academic integrity in the undergraduate catalog, available at
http://www.umd.edu/catalog/index.cfm/show/content.section/c/27/ss/1583/s/1566

The actual cuttofs may be lower than those mentioned on this syllabus, but not by more than a few percentage points.
