Homework:
Here is a complete list of homework for this course. I will announce homework assignments in class. The assignments are usually due on Thursdays at the beginning of each class period. Late homework will NOT be accepted for any reason. Your two lowest homework scores will be dropped.

Math Lab: You may want to check out the UNT Math Lab (in GAB 440) to get extra help with the homework. Hours (Jan 22-May 4): Mo-Th 7am-9pm; Fr 7am-4pm; Sa 12pm-5pm (closed Sundays and Holidays).


Exams & Grading Policy: Your final grade will be based on homework (your two lowest homework scores will be dropped), two midterms, and a comprehensive final. The midterms will be on February 22nd and on April 12th. The final exam will be on May 10th. Please make sure that you are available at those dates, since there will be NO make up exams!


The grade is comprised of

 

You are encouraged to study together and help each other throughout the semester. If everyone does well, everyone will receive a good grade.

Expectations: A fair amount of work is involved in learning calculus. You are expected to come to lecture on time. Plan ahead so you are not late. You should come to every lecture, and come prepared. It is your responsibility to obtain notes from another student if you miss class. You are expected to read the assigned sections and work on the homework problems immediately after they are assigned. You should be prepared to ask questions, take notes, and look alive in class. Please bring your text book to class and leave the cell phone at home. Repeat: NO CELL PHONES OR PAGERS!!! In addition to attending lecture, you should spend at least 6 hours per week on my course.

Extra Credit: Do NOT expect to be able to do some extra work to help your grade either before or after the final exam. There will be NO extra credit other than perhaps an extra problem on an exam.

Some Advice: Math is not a spectator sport. Work through problems and examples and text, instead of just reading. Make many notes in the margins and redo each and every example from the book and from lecture. You will not learn calculus from watching the professor or friends display ideas and solve problems. You must try problems, finish problems, ask questions, correct your mistakes, put concepts in your own words, and practice, practice, practice! The good news: A small increase in effort usually results in a big increase in success!

Disabilities: It is the responsibility of students with certified disabilities to provide the instructor with appropriate documentation from the Dean of Students Office.

Cheating: No cheating will be tolerated. Anyone caught cheating will receive an F in the course. Furthermore, a letter will be sent to the appropriate dean.

Lecture schedule: The following Tentative Lecture Schedule gives you an idea what material I intend to cover in this class, but note that the schedule might change often. You are responsible for all announcements/assignments made in class!
