Information

  • Textbook:
    The textbook for this course is: James Stewart, Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, 4th edition (Enhanced with Webassign)
  • Grading policy:
    Student's cumulative average will be computed by taking the maximum of these two grading schemes:
    • 10% Homework, 25% Midterm I, 25% Midterm II, 40% Final Exam
    • 10% Homework, 30% maximum of Midterm I and Midterm II, 60% Final Exam
  • Supplemental Instruction and Content Drop-in Tutoring:
    Teaching + Learning Commons, Academic Achievement Hub with your Department support, will be offering Supplemental Instruction (SI) and Content Drop-in Tutoring for this class.
    SI sessions will begin meeting on Monday, October 1st. Typically, SI sessions meet three (3) times a week for 50 minutes each time. See the website for more information
    Content Drop-in Tutoring will begin on Monday also. The general tutoring hours are 12pm - 7pm on Mondays through Fridays, and online Saturday and Sundays. This schedule varies by course, so it is recommended that students check the website before coming in. See the website for more information
  • Homework:
    Homework is a very important part of the course and in order to fully master the topics it is essential that you work carefully on every assignment and try your best to complete every problem.
    Your total homework score will be based on the total possible homework points available. After each homework you can complete an optional online HW review highlighting key concepts. If you complete the questionnaire for an assignment and that assignment is your lowest homework score, that score will be dropped from your homework average.
    Homework must be done alone! For homework help, consult your textbook, class notes, lecturer, and TAs. It is considered a violation of the policy on academic integrity to:
    • look or ask for answers to homework problems in other texts or sources, including the internet, or to
    • discuss the homework problems with anyone (unless you are in office hours with someone from the instructional team).
    We will have online homework. Online homework will be assigned through WebAssign and will be accessible via TritonEd, as indicated below. Your total homework score will be based on the total possible homework points available; no homework assignment scores will be dropped at the end of the quarter. You will be allowed five attempts up to the due date to complete each problem correctly. Instructions how to enroll to WebAssign you may find on the follwoing link.
  • Discussion Board:
    The Piazza forum for our class where questions can be posted and answered. It is a very helpful resource!
