Text: Calculus, Concepts and Connections, by R. Smith and R. Minton
 
Course Content: Chapters 4-7
 
Prerequisites: A knowledge of first semester Calculus topics including limits, continuity, and rules for differentiation and antidifferentiation (including these topics as applied to transcendental functions.) 
 
Exam Schedule and Grading Policy:
 Tests: Two tests will be given, a midterm and a comprehensive final exam. The tests will consist of both an in class portion, and a take home portion. Attendance at the tests is mandatory. If you are going to be absent for an exam, arrangements must be made prior to the exam date or a 0 will be awarded for the exam. 
 Homework Assignments: Homework problems will be given over each section covered and a few of these problems will be collected each week that there is not a test. These 8 assignments will be graded with the lowest homework grade dropped at the end of the semester.  Assignments are due each Monday by 8:00 PM. You can turn them in either directly to me before class, or into my box on the 6th floor of the CU building across the street. No late assignments will be accepted! Please follow these guidelines when turning in homework assignments:
 1. All assignments are to be done on engineering paper. Engineering  paper can be purchased at the bookstore. Please use only one side of the paper when doing assignments.
 2. Show all work neatly since messy papers may not be graded.
 3. Include graphs where appropriate. The graphs can either be a sketch or a computer printout with important information identified.
 4. Staple your papers together.
 5. Make sure you do the assigned problems since no credit will be given for the work on an incorrect problem.
You are able to work together in doing homework assignments; however, copying someone's assignment will not be tolerated. If this occurs, all students involved will receive no credit on the assignment.
 
 Calculus Application Project: One project will be assigned during the semester that will be an extension to the homework assignments. This project will require the use of a graphing utility.
Grade Breakdown: 
 Take Home Midterm: 25 points 
 In Class Midterm:   100 points 
 Take Home Final Exam: 35 points
 In Class Final Exam: 150 points  Homework Assignments:  20 points each 
 Application Project:   50 points
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Total: 500 points
 
Your final grade will be determined by the percentage of these points you have actually received.
A: 90% - 100%, A-: 88% - 89%, B+: 86% - 87%, B: 78% - 85%, B-: 76% - 77%, 
C+: 74% - 75%, C: 64% - 73%, D: 51% - 63%, F: Below 50%
 
 
 
 

Summer 2006 Registration and Academic Deadlines, and Important Policies

· CLAS students must always have an accurate mailing and e-mail address: Go to http:/www.cudenver.edu/registrar to update and/or change.

· Students must complete and submit a drop/add form to make any schedule changes. Students are not automatically dropped from a class if they stop attending or do not make tuition payments. The student is ultimately responsible for verifying their schedule prior to officially published drop dates.

· Late adds will be approved only when circumstances surrounding the late add are beyond the student’s control and can be documented. This will require a petition and documentation from the student.

· Late drops will be approved only when circumstances surrounding the late drop are beyond the student’s control and can be documented. This will require a petition and documentation from the student

· Students who wish to graduate in August of 2006 MUST meet with their academic advisor to obtain a graduation application. The application must be completed and submitted by June 8, 2006.

· Students are responsible for completing financial arrangements with financial aid, family, scholarships, etc. to pay their tuition. Students will be responsible for all tuition and fees for courses they do not officially drop using proper drop/add procedures and forms.

· June 1, 2006 (midnight) Last day to be added to the wait-list for a closed course.

· May 30 – June 8, 2006 Students are responsible for verifying an accurate summer 2006 registration via SMART. Students are NOT notified of their wait-list status by the University. All students must check their schedules prior to June 8, 2006 for accuracy.

· June 5, 2006 (midnight) Last day to add courses via the web SMART system.

· June 8, 2006 (5:00 pm) Last day to add structured courses without a written petition for a late add. This is an absolute deadline. This deadline does not apply to independent study, internships, and late-starting modular courses.

· June 8, 2006 (5:00 pm) Last day to drop a summer 2006 course for tuition refund and no transcript notation. This is an absolute deadline.

· June 8, 2006 (5:00 pm) Last day for undergraduates and graduates to apply for August 2006 graduation. This is an absolute deadline.

· June 8, 2006 (5:00 pm) Last day to request pass/fail or no credit option. This is an absolute deadline.

· July 3, 2006 (5:00 pm) Last day for NON-CLAS students to drop a summer 2006 course without a petition to their home college and receiving their Dean’s approval.

· July 10, 2006 (5:00 pm) Last day for CLAS students to drop a summer 2006 course. Treated as an absolute deadline. Dean’s approval required.

· July 13, 2006 (5:00 pm) Last day to withdraw (drop all courses) without a written petition.

See Academic Calendar for details on registration/payment deadlines: http://www.cudenver.edu/registrar

 
 
 
Incomplete Grades:
Incomplete grades (IW or IF) are not granted for low academic performance. To be eligible for an incomplete grade, students must
1) Successfully complete 75% of the course,
2) Have special circumstances that preclude the student from attending class and completing graded assignments, and
3) Make arrangements to complete missing assignments with the original instructor.
 
Note that Incompletes are also only given when the student is in good academic standing (C or better) in the course.
 
Email Addresses: All CLAS students must always have an accurate mailing and email address on file with the university: http://cudenver.edu/registrar
Your email address can now be used by the university for all communication needs. So if it is not updated already, do so immediately. 
 
Computing Technology: During the semester, we will explore calculus graphically, numerically, and algebraically. This course will utilize the TI-89/92 calculator, with graphics capability and a Computer Algebra System, to facilitate the study of calculus. Although this calculator is not a requirement, it will be used in class on a daily basis, and will help in the learning of calculus. All students are required to have a graphing calculator and to be able to use a Computer Algebra System, such as the TI-89/92, or the program DERIVE which is on the computers in the MERC lab. The best advice is to become familiar with a calculator (such as the TI-89) or DERIVE as soon as possible. It will be a worthwhile investment, not only for this course, but for all of your future work.
 
Cheating: Don’t do it!! Cheating will not be tolerated, and could result in a course grade of F and possible expulsion from the University.
 
Final Comment: Please turn off all pagers and cell phones at the
beginning of class!
