COURSE COORDINATOR: Dr. James L. Meek
Office:SCEN 228 email: jmeek@uark.edu
TEXT: Calculus:
Early Transcendental Functions, Third Edition,
by
Larson-Hostetler-Edwards (Houghton-Mifflin).
• Students
must successfully have completed either Precalculus or the combination of
college algebra and trigonometry, or have an ACT math score of ≥26, or
with math subscores of ≥13,9,9, respectively.
• On
calculators: Unacceptable: TI
89 or 92, laptops, palmtops;
Recommended: TI 82, 83, 85, 86;
Acceptable: lower-model-number TI; Sharp, Casio, HP48G ** Graphing
calculators will be permitted on the midterm and final examinations, but we will expect students to be
prepared to clear the calculator’s memory (or to have us do it for
them).**
Cell phones will not be
allowed on the desks during exams, but must be turned off and secured with the
student’s possessions.
STUDENT EVALUATION:
• There are two COMPREHENSIVE, COURSE-WIDE exams.
These exams are written by the course coordinator, and graded by all course instructors. Review materials will be available to you and to your
students.

These exams are scheduled before the semester

times during the first week of classes.
Students should ELIMINATE ANY CONFLICTS NOW.
Students who are
entitled for accommodation by ADA must notify their instructor,
and their instructor
must notify the coordinator, at least
one full week
before the common
examinations. Students who have a
legitimate
University-related
conflict with the midterm or final exam must also identify themselves
at least a week in
advance. Last minute requests for
make-up exams may not be granted.
• DAILY WORK (homework, quizzes, etc. - %) 100 pts
• IN-CLASS EXAMS (3 at 100 pts each or 4 at 75 pts each) 300 pts
OTHER
INFORMATION:
Midsemester
Grades: Current grades (for all 1000,2000-level
courses) will be reported to the dean’s office at the sixth week of the
semester.
Academic
Honesty: There will be no tolerance for cheating or plagiarism; University
policies will be enforced in such cases.
Inclement
Weather Policy: (Here is a suggested statement). Class will meet unless the University is closed. On-campus students are expected to be
present. Off-campus students
should make their own decisions in the best interests of personal safety. Off-campus students will not be
penalized for being absent on the days the Fayetteville Public Schools are
closed due to weather. If
attendance is severely
affected by weather, deadlines or exam dates may be adjusted.
Please tell students NOT to call the
Mathematics Department with weather-related inquiries!
