Textbook

Calculus (fifth edition) by James Stewart

We will cover good chunks from chapters 7, 8, 9, 11, 12.

Weekly Quizzes

I will make an effort to put the assigned homework problems on the course's web page immediately before or after each class. You are expected to work out all the assigned problems. Solutions will not be collected, but you will be given 10 weekly quizzes, with questions similar to those in the homework assigned during the preceding week. There will be no make-up quizzes but the two lowest quiz scores will be dropped.

 Quiz Time: Wednesdays 2:00--2:15 

Grading

Quizzes: 15%
Exam 1: 20%
Exam 2: 20%
Exam 3: 20%
Final Exam: 25%

Your course grade will be calculated based the weights attached to various components as shown in the adjacent table. Letter grades will be determined according to:

if { grade ≥ 85: A}
else if { grade ≥ 75: B}
else if { grade ≥ 65: C}
else if { grade ≥ 55: D}
else F

I will make and grade the exams in a fair and reasonable way, but sorry, no "curving" in this course.

Exam 1, Exam 2 and Exam 3 will cover approximately one quarter of the course preceding the exam. They will be given in the regularly scheduled classroom.

The Final Exam is comprehensive. It will cover the entire course, however it will put greater emphasis on the material covered in the later parts of the course.

 The Final Exam is on Friday May 20 3:30--5:30, in LH 9

By enrolling in this course, each student assumes the responsibilities of an active participant in UMBC's scholarly community in which everyone's academic work and behavior are held to the highest standards of honesty. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and helping others to commit these acts are all forms of academic dishonesty, and they are wrong. Academic misconduct could result in disciplinary action that may include, but is not limited to, suspension or dismissal.
