Text: Calculus, 5^th edition, James Stewart

Content: We will cover much of chapters one through five.

Grading Policy: In addition to the three exams, there will be weekly graded homework quizzes and a daily query at the beginning of each class.

Grading Scale: A:90%+, B:80%+, C:70%+, D:60%+.

The final exam and each midterm will count 25%, homework quizzes will count 20%, and the query will count 5%.

Homework: Homework is by far the most important aspect of this course. Learning to do mathematics is like learning a new language; you must not only learn your vocabulary, but also immerse yourself in the new tongue. It is impossible to learn calculus simply by watching others do it, so it is imperative that you practice as many problems as you can and ask questions as often as necessary.

The first few weeks of your homework schedule are printed on the back of this sheet and the entirety may be found in Blackboard. Each friday (excluding exam days) your weekly homework quiz will be posted. Due the following Monday, each quiz is open-book, open-note, and strictly non-collaborative. These should give you a good idea of exam style and level, as well as provide you with a gauge of your progress.

Academic Integrity: It is my opinion that there is hardly any human act more satisfying or important than the sharing of knowledge. I therefore consider the classroom and the university at large to be hallowed ground, well deserving of all the humility and respect that we would afford our other most sacred places.

Please refer to the University's policy regarding cheating and plagiarism found in the Campus Administration Manual, Section 684.

In short: be sensible, respectful, and mindful of the integrity of the system we share.
