Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals by Jon Rogawski, Colin Adams, and Robert Franzosa, 4th ed., W. H. Freeman and Co, 2019
Grading: The main contribution to your grade is coming from two semester tests and the Final Exam. Homework and quizzes are the remaining components of the grade. The exact composition of your course grade is as follows:
| Homework | 10% | |
| Quizzes | 10% | |
| Tests 1-2 | 50% (25% each) | |
| Final Exam | 30% |
| A | 90-100 | |
| B | 80-89 | |
| C | 70-79 | |
| D | 60-69 | |
| F | 59 and lower |
Attendance is mandatory in this class. If you miss four classes without a valid excuse, then each further absence without an excuse will result into losing two points of the final average of all class grades. In addition, missing a quiz will clearly decrease your average grade for quizzes.
Quizzes: Be prepared for short quizzes (1-2 problems, 10-15 minutes). They will be given without prior announcement. Two lowest quiz grades will be dropped. No make-up quizzes will be given regardless of the reason why a quiz was missed.
Homework will be given for all sections through Edfinity, see all instructions and the schedule on Canvas. You must complete all homework because it is critical for your success in the course. You have to start the assignment on Edfinity immediately after we cover the relevant section(s) in class. Each assignment is due by Tuesday of the following week as the absolute deadline. Note that your knowledge of material from a Tuesday lecture will be required on Thursday, so do not delay homework completion until weekend. You can certainly use any external help for your study and homework. However, the end result must be your complete understanding of all solutions, and the ability to quickly and efficiently solve all problems by yourself. No aids, electronic devices, reference material or external help will be permitted during quizzes and tests.
Recommended Learning Method:
Technology: Calculators and computers simplify your computations and provide nice visualizations. However, their use will not be allowed during quizzes and tests. You will be required to demonstrate your own skills of differential and integral calculus as well as relevant background areas. The use of mobile phones is strictly forbidden in class, so they should be kept in silent mode and away from sight. Internet browsing on any electronic device is completely unacceptable during class time.
MLSC The Mathematics Learning Success Center (MLSC) offers a free in-person drop-in tutoring, no appointments necessary. The MLSC is located on the 5th floor of Edmon Low Library. See the website for more information: cas.okstate.edu/mlsc. The MLSC is a great place to meet with classmates to study.
