Textbook: Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 7th edition by James Stewart
Syllabus: A detailed syllabus, a list of suggested problems, a page of Math100/180 ``policy'' and some old exams are posted on the common Math100/180 page:
Homework: There will be six hand-in assignments. They should be handed in for grading according to the following schedule:
Assignment 1 is due on September 20,
Assignment 2 is due on September 27,
Assignment 3 is due on October 18,
Assignment 4 is due on October 25,
Assignment 5 is due on November 1,
Assignment 6 is due on November 8.
Term Exams: There will be two Mid-Term Exams scheduled as follows:
Mid-term Exam 1 is on October 6,
Mid-term Exam 2 is on November 15.
We will have the No Calculator policy on all exams. Formula sheets are also not allowed.
Grading: The six hand-in assignments will count 8\% of the course grade, the two Mid-Term Exams will count 42\% of the course grade, and the final examination will count 50\% of the course grade. No make-up term examination will be given. In the case of a missed midterm, reweighting of other course components may be granted in the following two circumstances: (a) prior notice of a valid, documented absence (e.g. out-of-town varsity athletic commitment) on the scheduled date; or (b) notification to the instructor within 72 hours of absence due to medical condition. Original written documentation, for example a doctor’s note or letter from a coach, is required in all cases; otherwise, a score of 0 will be assigned for the missed midterm. Term marks will be scaled at the end of the course to reflect the performance of classes on the final common examination.
Considerate Behavior and Cheating: Talking in class is disruptive to others trying to concentrate on the lecture. Violators may be asked to sit separately or leave the class. Cheating on tests will not be tolerated. Any cheating will immediately be reported the head of the Mathematics Department for disciplinary action. Cheaters are often caught and the usual punishment is a 0 in the course, expulsion from the University for 1 year, no transferability for courses taken at another institution while under suspension and a notation on your transcript of the suspension due to cheating. Finally, it is considered inappropriate in any course to bring friends or other students not registered in the course into the lectures without first obtaining permission of the instructor.
