Among other things, the course website will contain:
• Schedule of material to be covered in each class period;
• Homework assignment lists;
• Online copies of handouts;
• Pertinent departmental links.
Required textbook: Calculus & Its Applications, by Goldsten/Lay/Schneider/Asmar (11th edition),
available at the University Bookstore, the Maryland Book Exchange, and online.
Homework:
All of your homework this semester will be done on Webassign. You will need to
get a login for Webassign and purchase access in order to complete homework on
Webassign. This is a requirement for the course. See the Webassign Directions
page for more information.
Recitation:
You will have a quiz every week (including the first week) in your recitation
section, the collection of which will add up to be worth the same as one exam. At
least one lowest quiz grade will be dropped. For the rest of the class, your TA will
field questions on current topics from the lecture, and will go over problems from
the corresponding practice exercises in your textbook. Attached to this syllabus is
a schedule of lecture topics, and a corresponding list of appropriate practice
problems organized by date. Your TA will not answer questions directly from
Webassign in your recitation sections.
Exams:
There will be three in-class exams and a two-hour cumulative final exam at the
end of the semester. Sample exams are at db.math.umd.edu/testbank.
Calculators:
No calculators will be allowed on exams or quizzes, unless otherwise stated.

Absence/Makeups:
Any unexcused missed quiz or exam will be given a grade of 0. University rules
define “excused absence” to include only illness, mandatory attendance at legal
proceedings, religious observance, or participation in University activities. No
make-up quizzes will be given (we shall drop at least the lowest grade). Make-up
exams will be given only with proper documentation. In the event of illness, you
must bring a note from a physician stating that "you were too ill to attend class
that day”. (A note showing you were at the Student Health Services is not
enough.) For foreseeable absences (e.g. religious observation, jury duty), you must
inform me or your TA prior to the exam in order to take a make-up. For
participation in a University activity, you must have a signed note from the coach
or advisor stating that you must miss class.
