Textbook
Stewart, Calculus, 8th edition (2012),
Cengage.
Course Description
Introductory differential and
integral calculus and applications. Topics include rate of change
and limits, continuity, differentiation, applications of the
derivative, integration, applications of the integral, and
transcendental functions. We will cover most of chapters 1 - 6 from
the textbook.
Homework
The way to learn mathematics is to first try
to understand the concepts, and then apply your understanding to
solve problems. Homework problems will be assigned in class; most
will be taken from the textbook. Assignments will be collected
daily. You may discuss homework problems with other students, but I
recommend that you first try to solve them on your own.
Grading
Graded work will include a final exam, three
in-class exams, periodic quizzes, and homework. The final exam will
be on Saturday May 6 from 1:00 - 3:00 PM. Each of the in-class exams
will be announced in class at least one week before it is given.The
final grade will be calculated using the following weights: homework
10%; quizzes 16%; in-class exams 18% each; final exam 20%. Your
lowest two quiz scores will be dropped. The following grading scale
will be applied: 90 - 100 A, 80 - 89 B, 70 - 79 C, 60 - 69 D, 0 - 59
F.
Missed work
In-class exams may be made up in the event
of documented illness. If you miss an exam, you need to inform me
before the time of the exam. Exams must be made up within one day of
the original exam date. There are no makeup quizzes.
Studying
A general rule for this course is for
every 1 hour spent in a class you should spend 1 to 3 hours
outside of class studying. If it is a difficult class for
you, you may need to spend more time than this. In math
people often think: I did the homework; that's all the
studying I need to do. Reading your notes and reviewing your
homework, quizzes, and exams are also excellent ways to help
you succeed in this course.
Calculators
Calculators are not allowed on exams or
quizzes and not required for the course.
Help
I encourage you to see or email me if you have any
questions. Free tutoring is available to all students at Wyllie
D180 (262-595-2044, tutoring.center@uwp.edu) and at NetTutor
(https://www.uwp.edu/learn/academicsupport/parc/nettutor.cfm).
Academic Accommodation
It is the policy and practice of
UW - Parkside to create inclusive work environments. If there are
aspects of the instruction or design of this course that result in
barriers to your inclusion, please notify me as soon as
possible. You are also welcome to contact Student Accessibility

Safe Learning Environment
UW-Parkside is committed to
fostering a safe, productive learning and working environment for
all students, faculty, and staff. Title IX of the Education
Amendment Act of 1972 states that “no person in the United States
shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any
education program or activity receiving federal financial
assistance”. Title IX covers forms of sexual misconduct, including
sex and gender-based discrimination, sexual harassment, stalking,
dating/relationship violence, and sexual assault. As these matters
can have a significant impact on your life as a student, both in and
out of the classroom, UW-Parkside provides a variety of resources
and reporting options, which you can find by going to the following

Electronic Devices
The use of cell phones, smart
phones, or other mobile communication devices is disruptive,
and is therefore prohibited during class. Except in
emergencies, those using such devices must leave the classroom
for the remainder of the class period. The use of computers,
including tablets and laptops, is prohibited in the classroom.
Recordings and Live-Streamings
Please note that at the
instructor’s discretion, lectures and class sessions may be live
streamed and/or recorded and made available to students registered
for the class. The use of live streaming and lecture capture is
intended to supplement the classroom experience solely for the
benefit of students registered in the class. UW-Parkside prohibits
faculty, staff and students from copying, distributing, or using
lecture capture recordings for any other purpose; violation of this
prohibition may be grounds for UW-Parkside to initiate disciplinary
proceedings.
Disclaimer
The course syllabus is a general plan for
the course; deviations announced in class may be necessary.
