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 >(=), with math subscores of >(=) 13,9,9, respectively.

 

On calculators:  Calculators are not needed nor required on either the midterm exam or the final exam.  But (acceptable) calculators will be allowed on these exams:

            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 have it done for them.

 

STUDENT EVALUATION:

            There are two comprehensive, course-wide exams.  These exams are written by the course coordinator, and graded by all course instructors.  A study guide will be available.

 

Thursday, March 6     MIDTERM EXAMINATION  6:00-7:30 pm                      150 pts

Saturday,  May 3        FINAL EXAMINATION  7:30-9:30 am                  200 pts

 

            These exams are scheduled before the semester begins.  Announce them several times during the first week of classes.  Students should eliminate any conflicts NOW.

Students who are entitled to accommodation by ADA must notify their instructor, and their instructor must notify the coordinator, at least one full week before the common examinations.  Wtudents 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; percentage)                                  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, 200- level courses) will be reported to the dean’s office at the sixth week of the semester.

 

MRTC:  There is free tutoring for calculus students in the MRTC.  Check with MRTC for their current schedule.

 

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 interest 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 your students NOT to call the Mathematics Department with weather-related inquiries.
