MAJOR COURSE REQUIREMENTS and ASSESSMENTS Final course grades will be the weighted average of mean scores under the following weights: Homework Quizzes & Classwork Gateway Exam Labs Exams Final Exam 10% 10% 10% 20% 30% 20% Final weighted grades are rounded to the nearest percent. Those ≥ 90% earn a letter grade of A, ≥ 80% earn at least a B; ≥ 70% earn at least a C; ≥ 60% earn at least a D; < 60% earn an F. Homework – Extensive practice is an essential component of understanding integral calculus, and we’ll use an online system (tamucc.mylabsplus.com) to practice course techniques. Quizzes, & Classwork – Boost your overall grade by participating in inquiry tasks, whole-class discussion, and group work activities during class time. Then, demonstrate your mastery of key skills and concepts during in-class group or individual assessments. Gateway Exam – A test of the core integration techniques will be given in the lab (see the lab syllabus for details). To earn any credit, you need to completely and correctly solve at least 8 of 10 integrals on the test. No electronic devices or resources are permitted on the gateway test. Labs – see the Lab Syllabus for additional information on the lab component of the course. Exams – Show your progressing understanding through 2-3 comprehensive individual exams. Final Exam – complete a comprehensive summative assessment through an individual exam. The final exam cannot be made-up if missed. If you have a conflict with the scheduled final exam time, please contact me at least 2 weeks prior to discuss scheduling options. » The final exam is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 9th at 8:00-10:30am. 3 VIII.

CLASS POLICIES Attendance/Tardiness. You’re expected to attend every class session, arrive on time, and complete all in-class activities. If you need to miss part or all of a class session, please email me before class or as soon as possible. Make-up exams are available in case of emergencies and may be more difficult than regular exams. Late Homework. Homework will usually be due electronically, and will be subject to strict deadlines set through the homework website. No partial credit or extensions are allowed for late homework, but your two lowest homework scores will be dropped from the grading. Cell Phones/Electronic Devices. Out of courtesy, please silence phones during class and step out of class if you need to use them. Personal electronic devices are prohibited during exams. In-Class Activities. By maintaining a spirit of respect and challenge, you can expect classroom activities to be inviting, lively, and challenging. Everyone is expected to take responsibility for their learning as well as the learning of their peers during class. Dropping a Class. I hope that you never find it necessary to drop this or any other class. However, events can sometimes occur that make dropping a course necessary or wise. Please consult with me before you decide to drop to be sure it is the best thing to do. Should dropping 5 the course be the best course of action, you must initiate the process to drop the course by going to the Student Services Center and filling out a course drop form. Just stopping attendance & participation WILL NOT automatically result in your being dropped from the class. Academic Integrity. University students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the highest standards of academic honesty. Academic misconduct for which a student is subject to penalty includes all forms of cheating, such as illicit possession of examinations or examination materials, falsification, forgery, complicity or plagiarism. (Plagiarism is the presentation of the work of another as one’s own work.) In this class, academic misconduct or complicity in an act of academic misconduct on an assignment or test will result in a minimum of a 0 on the assignment or test. Disability Services. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please call or visit Disability Services at (361) 825-5816 in Driftwood 101. If you are a returning veteran and are experiencing cognitive and/or physical access issues in the classroom or on campus, please contact the Disability Services office for assistance at (361) 825-5816. Grade Appeals Process. As stated in University Rule 13.02.99.C2, Student Grade Appeals, a student who believes that he or she has not been held to appropriate academic standards as outlined in the class syllabus, equitable evaluation procedures, or appropriate grading, may appeal the final grade given in the course. The burden of proof is upon the student to demonstrate the appropriateness of the appeal. A student with a complaint about a grade is encouraged to first discuss the matter with the instructor. For complete details, including the responsibilities of the parties involved in the process and the number of days allowed for completing the steps in the process, see University Rule 13.02.99.C2, Student Grade Appeals, and University Procedure 13.02.99.C2.01, Student Grade Appeal Procedures. These documents are accessible through the University Rules Web site at tamucc.edu/provost/university_rules. For assistance and/or guidance in the grade appeal process, students may contact the Office of Student Affairs. Classroom Behavior. Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, as an academic community, requires that each individual respect the needs of others to study and learn in a peaceful atmosphere. Under Article III of the Student Code of Conduct, classroom behavior that interferes with either (a) the instructor’s ability to conduct the class or (b) the ability of other students to profit from the instructional program may be considered a breach of the peace and is subject to disciplinary sanction outlined in article VII of the Student Code of Conduct. Students engaging in unacceptable behavior may be instructed to leave the classroom. This prohibition applies to all instructional forums, including classrooms, electronic classrooms, labs, discussion groups, field trips, etc. Changes. The instructor may amend the syllabus by announcing the changes in class.
