Objectives and Course Content: The first course of Calculus is a basic mathematical tool for a
large population of students. This course aims to provide the knowledge and to
prepare students to solve optimization, rate of change and area problems using
the basics of calculus. The course will cover roughly chapters 1 - 5 (excluding
sections 1.4, 2.4, 3.8, 3.11,4.4, 4.6, 4.8) plus appendices A, B,C,D and E.

The exact rule used to translate scores into the letter grade system is not
determined in advance, but in general terms the minimum passing grade of D
will likely require a score of approximately 50% while a grade of A will likely
require a score in the 90's. Grades are assigned using the performance of prior
years as a guideline.
Assignments:
For assignments we will be using a web-based assignment grading system called
WebAssign. The class key for our section Math 114 F1 is: ualberta 6229 8437.
There will be 11 weekly assignments which are due on Wednesdays by 11 pm.
All assignments will be of equal weight and the grades on your best 10
assignments will determine your overall assignment grade. The Nelson
representatives will have office hours: Mon. Sept 12 from noon to 2 pm, and
Thu. Sept. 15, from 10 to noon, in CAB 563, where you can have your questions
about WebAssign answered.
Examinations:
Midterm: Wednesday, October 26, 2011, during the regular class period.
Final: Wednesday, December 14, 2011, 2:00 – 4:00 pm.
Deferred Examination: There will be NO deferred midterm examination. If
you have a valid reason for missing the exam, e.g., you were gravely ill
(students are required to submit requests for excused absences within 48 hours
of missing the exam), then the weight of the midterm will be transferred to the
final exam weight.
The deferred final examination (for those who qualify) is scheduled as follows:
Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 9:00 am, room TBA. Please note that students are
required to apply for deferred final exams their faculty office.

Help sessions:
Additional help will be available on a first-come first serve basis in the Support
Centre CAB 528. The hours are Monday-Friday, 09:00 – 15:00.
Students Behavior: The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of academic
integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards
regarding academic honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in this
respect. Students are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the
provisions of the Code of Student Behavior (online
www.ualberta.ca/secretariat/appeals.htm) and avoid any behavior, which could
potentially result in suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of
facts and/or participation in an offence. Academic dishonesty is a serious
offense and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University.
