Calculator: A graphing calculator is required in this course. I prefer that you use a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84, or TI-84 Plus.
However, you may use also use another graphing calculator that you know how to operate. (Please Note: No CAS calculators
are allowed.)
Prerequisites: Math 192 – Calculus and Analytic Geometry I or its equivalent
Online Resource: The author of the book maintains an online help website at www.CalcChat.com. This site contains solutions to
all odd-numbered exercises, as well as an online “Calc Chat Assistant” to whom you can ask questions. Many of the solutions are
worked out, not just final answers like in the back of the book. To use the site, you must select your textbook from a drop down
list; our textbook is “Calculus 9e.” Then click on the Calculus text image.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
• Make use of differentiation rules to differentiate transcendental functions.
• Make use of the concepts of definite integrals to solve problems involving area, volume, work, and other physical
applications.
• Make use of integration techniques to evaluate definite and indefinite integrals.
• Apply the concepts of limits, convergence, and divergence to evaluate some classes of improper integrals.
• Determine convergence or divergence of sequences and series.
• Make use of Taylor and MacLaurin series to represent functions.
• Make use of Taylor or MacLaurin series to integrate functions not integrable by conventional methods.
• Find areas, lengths of curves, and representations of conic sections by using the concept of polar coordinates.
• Express mathematical concepts and solutions in writing by producing reports based on class work or computer
assignments.
• Examine simple mathematical concepts and describe them orally and in writing.

Very Important:
1. If an exam is missed during the course of the semester (including the final exam), a grade of zero will be given. It is
intended that there will be absolutely NO make-up exams, quizzes or homework given. Allowances may be made, but are
not guaranteed, in the cases of emergency. Verifiable documentation must be provided and the approval of the instructor
is required.
2. The final exam’s percentage may be used to replace one missed exam score or a student’s lowest exam score during the
regular semester, provided the final exam’s percentage is higher.
3. Students must show all work for each test question and arrive at a correct answer. Partial credit may be awarded in some
cases.
4. Every student is responsible for turning in his/her own work.
5. Each student should maintain an impeccable and irreproachable demeanor during quizzes and exams. Anyone who
displays an action that might be interpreted otherwise may be subject to sanctions including, but not limited to the
following: Removal from the classroom, failure of the course, suspension or dismissal from the university.
6. Students are allowed to use a graphing calculator during exams and/or quizzes; however, no cell phones, wireless devices
or CAS calculators are allowed.
7. Please respect your peers and me by silencing all communication devices during class.
8. Texting, tweeting, updating statuses, instant messaging, web surfing, and any other extracurricular activity that requires
the use of your smartphone or wireless device are not allowed during class.
9. If a student is disruptive during the class, the instructor reserves the right to demand that said student leave the classroom.
10. The instructor reserves the right to amend syllabus as deemed necessary.
Attendance and Punctuality
• Attendance is expected of all students. Any student who is absent for more than eight (8) class meeting hours without
acceptable documented reason must contact the instructor regarding future participation in the course and may NOT be
allowed to take the final exam.
• I will take attendance every day at times specified by me. If a student enters the classroom after the attendance has been
noted for that day, it is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor immediately after class so that the absence may
be recorded as tardy.
• Students are expected to arrive on time for class. Three tardies are equivalent to one absence.
• A tardy will also be recorded for each time a student attends a significant portion of the class, but leaves class before the
class has ended.

Exams and Quizzes:
1. Two major 60-minute exams will be administered during the semester. Each exam will count a maximum of 150 points.
The exam exercises will be similar in format to the examples done in class, the examples in the book, and the assigned
homework exercises. No make-up exams will be given.
2. Quizzes and/or hand-in assignments will be given during the course of the semester. A grade of zero will be given for
each missed quiz or hand-in assignment. No make-up quizzes or assignments will be given. The lowest score among your
quizzes and assignments will be dropped. Please note that these hand-in assignments are different from selected textbook
exercises assigned as regular homework. Your quizzes and homework assignments will be calculated as a weighted
average to be worth a maximum of 100 points.
3. After the conclusion of each class and by 12:00pm the following day, each student is required to submit responses to the
Math 193 Calculus II Survey. You may access the survey via the Calculus II link on my faculty website at
http://web.njcu.edu/sites/faculty/kivy/Content/calculus_ii_class_survey.asp or via the following link
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Math193_2847_Fa2014. You will receive 2 points for each survey you submit on time.
Your survey submissions are worth a maximum of 56 points.
4. You will be required to submit two poetry assignments on topics/content selected by the instructor. Each poetry
assignment will be worth a maximum of 25 points. More details will be provided at a later time.
5. The final exam is comprehensive and will be worth a maximum of 200 points.
6. Your class attendance and active participation will be worth a maximum of 44 points.
Final Grade: The cumulative point total for the semester exams, quizzes, writing assignment, workshop attendance, class
participation, and the final examination is 750 points. The following point scale will be used to determine your
final grade.
