Math 220 – Analytic Geometry & Calculus I
Spring 2012
Coordinator and Lecturer: Professor Craig Spencer, Cardwell 046A, cvs@ksu.edu
Recitations Instructors: Everyone will have a recitation instructor that they will meet during their
first recitation class. Your recitation instructor will hold regular office hours and reply to your questions
via email. Since there are roughly 400 students in the course and only 35 students in each recitation,
your questions should first be directed at your recitation instructor before contacting Professor Spencer.
For questions about course procedures, please make sure that the answer is not already on the syllabus
or course web site before contacting your instructor.
Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals (6th Edition), by James Stewart
It is not necessary to have the K-State Edition of the book, but please make sure that the book you
obtain is both the 6th Edition and the Early Transcendentals Edition. Note that we are not using the
Essential Calculus edition.
Calculator: Calculators will not be allowed on exams, but it is recommended that you have a graphing
calculator to use on the homework.
Web Site: http://www.math.ksu.edu/math220/spring-2012/
This site will contain information relevant to our class, and material such as lecture notes, grades, and
announcements will be posted on K-State Online. In the event of a school closure, revised information
and an updated syllabus will be posted on both the web site and K-State Online as soon as possible.
Prerequisites: The prerequisites for this class are College Algebra (Math 100) and Plane Trigonometry (Math 150). A review of such material can be found in Chapter 1 and Appendices A-E of our textbook.
Class Format: This course is organized along the lecture-recitation method. Each week you are expected
to attend two lectures (Monday and Wednesday) and two recitation classes (Tuesday and Thursday). The
sections to be covered in each lecture, along with the corresponding exercise sets, are indicated on the
attached schedule. You should read through the appropriate sections in the book before each lecture and,
after each lecture, reread the material and do as many of the assigned exercises as you can before the
next recitation class. Try to get the remaining exercises worked in your recitation class, but one way or
another, you should eventually have all of the assigned exercises solved. Attending all classes, thoroughly
reading the book, and doing lots of problems (even more than the homework assignments if you have
time) will be the best way to do well on the exams. Since the class is cumulative, try not to fall behind,
and seek help if you do not understand something.
Math Tutoring Resources: See http://www.math.ksu.edu/courses/help/
In addition to asking your recitation instructor questions during their office hours or by sending them
email, help sessions are held most days in Cardwell Hall (CW41). Several instructors will be present to
help you, and a schedule can be found at the above web address. The page also includes links to information about walk-in math sessions in Leasure 201, the Scholars Assisting Scholars (SAS) tutoring sessions
on the 2nd floor of Durland, and tutoring help available through the Academic Assistance Center (Holton
101, phone 532-6492). Lists of individual paid tutors for Calculus I are available from the Mathematics
Department (Cardwell 138).
Grading Policy: Your grade for this course will be determined by the following:
Exam 1
Exam 2
Exam 3
Final Exam
10%
15%
15%
25%
Hand-In Homework 15%
Online Homework
15%
Recitation Grades
5%
The overall grade thresholds for the course will not be set any higher than 90% for an A, 80% for a B,
70% for a C, and 60% for a D. However, depending on the overall grade distribution of the class, these
thresholds may potentially be lowered.
Exams: Students will be required to bring their student ID card to the exams. There will be no
calculators nor formula sheets allowed on the exams. For certain exams, specific formulas will be included
on the first page of the exam, and the list of these formulas will be posted in advance on K-State Online.
If you miss or expect to miss a midterm examination for a legitimate reason (for example, a serious
illness or representing K-State at a competition), then notify your recitation instructor as early as possible.
Note that booking personal travel without looking at the exam dates first is not considered a valid reason.
If your recitation instructor excuses your absence from an hour exam, then your score on that exam will
be a weighted average of your other exam scores. If your recitation instructor does not excuse your
absence from an hour exam, then your score on that exam will be zero. There will be no make-up exams.
If you miss more than one midterm exam or the final exam, for verifiable personal emergencies, then it is
possible to receive the grade of Incomplete for the course. It is your responsibility to work out the details
with your recitation instructor before final grades are established.

Hand-In Homework: Hand-in homework is due Fridays at 5 PM in your recitation instructor’s homework box near Cardwell 120. Write your name and your recitation instructor’s name at the top of the
front page and staple your homework. Late homework will not be accepted, but each student’s lowest
hand-in homework score will be dropped.
Online Homework: http://www.math.ksu.edu/math220/quiz/
Online homework is due Mondays at 11:59 PM. Each student will receive different (but similar) assignments. Log on using your K-State eID. You can retake the quizzes as many times as you want (before
the due date). You will receive your highest score over all your attempts. You do not have to answer the
questions during the session (you may print them out and work them at your convenience, or save your
work then log back in later). The first time your answers to a particular problem set are submitted, they
are marked right or wrong, and you will have a chance to correct any wrong answers before you resubmit
your work. After the work has been resubmitted, your work will be graded and you will be given the
correct answers and links to see how to work the problems. Late homework will not be accepted, but each
student’s lowest online homework score will be dropped. If you have issues with the Online Homework
system, please contact onlinehw@math.ksu.edu (for system errors) or your recitation instructor (for
math help).
Recitation Grades This score will be determined by your recitation instructor. He or she will describe
how they will determine this grade during the first recitation.
Useful Drop Dates: February 6 - last day with a 100% refund, February 13 - last day with a 50%
refund, February 21 - last day to drop without a W being recorded, March 26 - last day to drop with a
W being recorded
Statement Regarding Academic Honesty: Kansas State University has an Honor System based on
personal integrity, which is presumed to be sufficient assurance that, in academic matters, one’s work
is performed honestly and without unauthorized assistance. Undergraduate and graduate students, by
registration, acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Honor System. The policies and procedures of the Honor
System apply to all full and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses oncampus, off-campus, and via distance learning. The honor system website can be reach via the following
URL: www.ksu.edu/honor. A component vital to the Honor System is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge
which applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course work undertaken by students. The Honor
Pledge is implied, whether or not it is stated: “On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor
received unauthorized aid on this academic work.” A grade of XF can result from a breach of academic
honesty. The F indicates failure in the course; the X indicates the reason is an Honor Pledge violation.
Statements for Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: Any student with a
disability that needs a classroom accommodation, access to technology, or other assistance in this course
should contact Disability Support Services (dss@k-state.edu) and/or their instructor. Disability Support
Services serves students with a wide range of disabilities including, but not limited to, physical disabilities,
sensory impairments, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, depression, and anxiety.
