Calculus, Early Transcendentals, Volume 2 by James Stewart 6ed, with a WebAssign code.

Grading Policy:

Your grade will be calculated as follows:

Quizzes	5%
Homework (WebAssign)	20%
Exam 1	20%
Exam 2	20%
Final Exam	35%
Gateway Exam	Pass/Fail

Exams:

There are two common evening exams, scheduled for February 26 and April 8 in CLAS 110 from 6-8 PM. Common make up exams will be held from 8-11 PM on the same days as the exams. No makeup exams will be allowed without a documented excuse and approval prior to the exam.

Gateway Exam:

The Gateway Exam will be available on WebAssign in MacLab MSB 203 starting March 3 through April 7. No calculators will be allowed. The exam is pass/fail only, no partial credit; however, the exam may be retaken as many times as necessary within the allowed period. Failure to pass the Gateway Exam will lower the course grade by one full letter grade.

Quizzes:

Several short quizzes (15-20 min.) will be given throughout the semester, announced in advance. No makeup quizzes will be allowed.

Homework:

Homework will be turned in using WebAssign. Occasionally you will be asked to hand in written solutions to a few problems (these will appear on WebAssign). Your written solutions should be neat with all work shown. No late homeworks will be accepted.

Attendance:

Attending each lecture is strongly encouraged. You will be responsible for all material presented in class.

Calculators:

Calculators will be allowed during exams and quizzes, but all work must be shown in order to receive full credit on each problem. Graphing calculators will be very helpful in this course, in particular models TI 82, 83, 85 or 86. However, calculators that can perform symbolic operations (such as the HP 28 or 48, or TI-92 or 89) are not allowed. If you bring a calculator to an exam, make sure it cannot perform alphanumeric manipulation.

Classroom Behavior:

Please be respectful of your classmates during lecture. Remember to turn off your cell phone or set it to silent mode before the start of class.

Academic Integrity:

Academic misconduct of any kind will not be tolerated. Cheating on any assignment will result in a zero grade for that assignment, and a possible fail for the entire course. For a full explanation of the policies, see the following web page: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~ml201vc/misconduct.html.

Tutoring:

Free tutoring is available at the Q-Center. Check their web site, http://www.qcenter.uconn.edu, for more information (such as location and times).
