Course Content:
This semester we will cover sections 5.1–5.4, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 7.1, 7.2, 7.5, 7.7, 7.8,
4.8, 8.1–8.5, 8.7, 8.8, 9.1–9.5, 10.1–10.3, and 11.1–11.6 from the textbook. Please
note that sections 6.3, 6.5, 7.3, 7.4, 7.6, 10.4, 10.5, and 11.7–11.11 are not
covered.
Exams:
•
Exam 1: 5.1–5.4, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 7.1, 7.2, 7.5, 8.1, 8.2, 8.4,8.5.

•
Final Exam (Cumulative): 9.1–9.5, 10.1–10.3, and all of Exam
1 and Exam 2 material.
Notes on exam coverage:
•
The sections indicated for each exam may change if the
schedule requires it. If this occurs it will be announced in class prior to the
exam.
•
Although Exam 2 is not explicitly cumulative, a thorough
understanding of the material covered in Exam 1 is needed to master the
material covered in Exam 2. However, Exam 2 will primarily focus on the
material covered since Exam 1.
•
The Final Exam is cumulative.
•
On all exams, standard graphing calculators (those without a
full alphanumeric keypad) are allowed. Problems will be written with the
expectation that these calculators will be used. Other or more powerful
calculators must be approved. On all exams, students are allowed to bring
notes written on both sides of one 3'' by 5'' card.
Web homework: Every section covered in class has an assigned homework.
These assignments must be completed on the web. A link to the web homework
access webpage is on the course website.
Quizzes: There will be short quizzes in class. No make up quizzes will be
administered, but your quiz with the lowest score will be dropped when computing
your final grade.
Grading Policy: All sections of Math 116 use the same grading guidelines to
standardize the evaluation process. The three uniform exams are worth 25% (First
Exam), 30% (Second Exam), and 40% (Final Exam) of the "Uniform Component" of
each student's grade, and the web homework is worth 5% of the "Uniform
Component". The final course grade will be primarily determined by the Uniform
Component grade for each student. However, for some students, the final course
grade may be modified by the section component grade or the gateway exams. See
the Student Guide for a complete explanation.
Gateway Exams: There are two gateway tests for Math 116 students. The first
reviews differentiation and the second covers techniques of integration. Students
will lose a third of a letter grade (from their Uniform Component grade) for failing to
pass the first gateway and a third of a letter grade for failing to pass the second.
Gateways have to be taken in the gateway lab (B069 EH) and may be taken many
times, but no more than twice per day.
Prerequisites: Math 115 or equivalent.
