Mathematics Learning Center (MLC)
Our department has a free tutoring service for UTT students, which is in RBN 4021. It’s a great
place to go to work on your Calculus homework! You will swipe your student ID card upon
entering and exiting, and it will keep track of the hours you spend there. I will add 10 points to
Test 1 if you work 3 hours per week (or a total of 9 hours) in the MLC between Tests 1 and 2,
and 10 points to Test 2 for the same hours between Tests 2 and 3. If you feel you are not
getting the help you need from the tutors there or if the environment is distracting please write
down the specific criticism and the time of occurrence and drop it in the comment box just
outside the lab. You do not need to add your name.
Grade Calculation
There will be 3 major tests given during the semester. These tests will count for 40% of
the final grade. The comprehensive final exam will count for 30% of the final grade and
the average of your top 9 quizzes will count 30%. Please note the test dates, which
will not change. I will not give make up tests. Instead, I will substitute your lowest test
grade with the final exam grade, if it is higher. If you miss a second test, that grade
will remain a zero. Departmental policy is that you can only make one grade higher in
the course than you make on the final exam. Athletes and other students involved in
extensive university activities should schedule a meeting in my office during the first
two weeks of class.
Homework
There will be daily homework assignments. These are very important to keep up
with – the best way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics problems. They will not
be collected, but weekly quizzes will be entirely composed of homework problems. We
will begin each class with a question and answer session concerning the homework.
Attendance
Class attendance is important to your success in this class. I will reward good
attendance ( ≤ 3 absences for ANY reason) by adding an average point at the end of
the semester to your grade. I will take roll once at the beginning of each class. If you
come in late and want credit for attending, you must notify me at the end of that class;
otherwise you will be counted absent.
Calculator Policy
The TI-30X IIS is recommended, but any non-graphing calculator is fine.
Cell Phone Policy
When it is time for class to begin, please turn your cell phone to silent or off.
Learning Outcomes: At the conclusion of the course, the student should be
able to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Understand continuity.
Apply techniques of calculus to find marginal profit, cost and revenue
equations.
Understand exponential and logarithmic functions.
Analyze continuous compound interest and solve related rates
problems.
Understand and explain the point of diminishing returns.
Apply the first and second derivative test to graph functions.
Apply numerical integration techniques to compute the area under a
curve.
Know the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Students Rights and Responsibilities
To know and understand the policies that affect your rights and responsibilities as a student at UT Tyler, please follow
this link: http://www.uttyler.edu/wellness/rightsresponsibilities.php
Grade Replacement/Forgiveness and Census Date Policies
Students repeating a course for grade forgiveness (grade replacement) must file a Grade Replacement Contract with
the Enrollment Services Center (ADM 230) on or before the Census Date of the semester in which the course will be
repeated. Grade Replacement Contracts are available in the Enrollment Services Center or at
http://www.uttyler.edu/registrar. Each semester’s Census Date can be found on the Contract itself, on the Academic
Calendar, or in the information pamphlets published each semester by the Office of the Registrar.
Failure to file a Grade Replacement Contract will result in both the original and repeated grade being used to
calculate your overall grade point average. Undergraduates are eligible to exercise grade replacement for only three
course repeats during their career at UT Tyler; graduates are eligible for two grade replacements. Full policy details
are printed on each Grade Replacement Contract.
The Census Date is the deadline for many forms and enrollment actions that students need to be aware of. These
include:
for taking courses as Audit, Pass/Fail or Credit/No Credit.
100% refunds for partial withdrawals. (There is no refund for these after the Census Date)
reinstated or re-enrolled in classes after being dropped for non-payment
State-Mandated Course Drop Policy
Texas law prohibits a student who began college for the first time in Fall 2007 or thereafter from dropping more than
six courses during their entire undergraduate career. This includes courses dropped at another 2-year or 4-year
Texas public college or university. For purposes of this rule, a dropped course is any course that is dropped after the
census date (See Academic Calendar for the specific date).
Exceptions to the 6-drop rule may be found in the catalog. Petitions for exemptions must be submitted to the
Enrollment Services Center and must be accompanied by documentation of the extenuating circumstance. Please
contact the Enrollment Services Center if you have any questions.
Disability Services
In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the ADA
Amendments Act (ADAAA) the University offers accommodations to students with learning, physical and/or
psychiatric disabilities. If you have a disability, including non-visible disabilities such as chronic diseases, learning
disabilities, head injury, PTSD or ADHD, or you have a history of modifications or accommodations in a previous
educational environment you are encouraged to contact the Student Accessibility and Resources office and schedule
an interview with the Accessibility Case Manager/ADA Coordinator, Cynthia Lowery Staples. If you are unsure if the
above criteria applies to you, but have questions or concerns please contact the SAR office. For more information or
to set up an appointment please visit the SAR office located in the University Center, Room 3150 or call
903.566.7079. You may also send an email to cstaples@uttyler.edu
Student Absence due to Religious Observance
Students who anticipate being absent from class due to a religious observance are requested to inform the instructor
of such absences by the second class meeting of the semester.
Student Absence for University-Sponsored Events and Activities
If you intend to be absent for a university-sponsored event or activity, you (or the event sponsor) must notify the
instructor at least two weeks prior to the date of the planned absence. At that time the instructor will set a date and
time when make-up assignments will be completed.
Social Security and FERPA Statement:
It is the policy of The University of Texas at Tyler to protect the confidential nature of social security numbers. The
University has changed its computer programming so that all students have an identification number. The electronic
transmission of grades (e.g., via e-mail) risks violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act; grades will
not be transmitted electronically.
Emergency Exits and Evacuation:
Everyone is required to exit the building when a fire alarm goes off. Follow your instructor’s directions regarding the
appropriate exit. If you require assistance during an evacuation, inform your instructor in the first week of class. Do
not re-enter the building unless given permission by University Police, Fire department, or Fire Prevention Services
