Course Description:
This course is for the students to learn about derivatives
and their applications. We plan to cover chapters 2, 3, and 4 as well as sections
5.1, and 5.2. Topics include Limits and Continuity, Differentiation, Mean Value
Theorem for Derivatives, Application of Differentiation, and Antiderivatives.
Course Notes: This is a terminal class. You must transfer into Math 2250 if you
need to take Calculus II or beyond. Please see your advisor for details on this
issue.
Grading Policy: There will be three tests and one cumulative final. Announced
quizzes will also be given on a regular basis and will be given during the
recitations. A homework presentation grade is also factored into your semester
average. The grading scale will break down as follows:
Test Average
55%*
Homework Presentation
10%
Quizzes
10%
Final
25%
I do not drop any test grades. Your lowest test score will count for 15% of your
grade, the other two tests will count for 20% of your grade.
My letter scale is as follows:
B+: 88.50 – 89.49
C+: 78.50 – 79.49
A: 92.50+
A-: 89.5 – 92.49
B: 82.50 – 87.49
B-: 79.5 – 82.49
C: 72.50 – 77.49
C-: 69.5 – 72.49
D: 59.50 – 69.49
F: 0.00 - 59.49
Attendance: It is your responsibility to attend this class regularly and to
attempt the assigned homework problems. However, I will not be taking formal
attendance for the class after the first two weeks. Note, however, that you cannot
make up the announced quizzes, so attendance is required for that day if you want
proper credit for that quiz.
Tests and Quizzes: For your tests and quizzes, you will be allowed to use a nongraphing scientific calculator, such as a TI-30. If I catch anyone using a
graphing calculator, all calculator privileges will be revoked for the rest of the
semester. Quizzes cannot be made up, regardless of your reason. Tests are a
little more lenient, but a documented excuse is necessary for make up exams. Note
that your make up exam will be different, and will probably be more difficult.
Classroom Etiquette: Students must arrive to class on time and should stay until
class is dismissed. Cell phones, etc. should be turned off or on silent mode. If
a cell phone ringer audibly goes off during lecture, the entire class will be
subjected to a pop quiz.
DRC Accommodations: Please speak to me privately if this pertains to you. These
paperwork need to be handled at least a week before each test to ensure you get the
proper accommodations.
Homework Presentations: You are required to present one homework problem in front
of the class. This presentation can be done at any time during the semester during
the recitation sessions. These homework problems will be published online on my
website.
Your presentation grade will be based on attempt and mathematical
correctness, as well as miscellaneous things such as preparedness, explanation
clarity, and the ability to answer questions your fellow students may have. You
may do an additional homework presentation for extra credit: your second homework
grade overrides your lowest quiz score and you will get two points added to your
final exam score. There are no “dibs” on homework questions; they are done on a
volunteer basis. If more than one person wishes to present a homework problem, a
fair “lottery” will be held to determine which student will present. Note that
people that have not done a presentation will get preference over those that wish
to do a second presentation. If nobody is willing to present a homework question,
your teaching assistant will present the problem to the class.
Withdrawal Policy: Any withdrawals processed before June 21 will receive an
automatic WP. As mandated by the University, the last day to withdraw is July 9.
If you wish to withdraw between June 22 and July 9, you will need to speak with me
to determine whether you will receive a WP or a WF for the course. Any withdrawals
past July 9 will be an automatic WF.
Academic Calendar: Quizzes will be announced at least one day in advance, but the
test dates are set.
