COURSE PREREQUISITES: Math 1111 College Algebra (or equivalent), with a grade of C or higher. TEXT: Calculus for Business, Economics, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences, 12th edition, by Barnett, Ziegler, and Bylen. We will cover portions of Chapters 1-8. GRADING POLICY: Three class tests will be given this semester; the dates of each of these tests will be announced about one week in advance. There will also be a final exam, which is scheduled for Thursday, May 1, 1:30-4:00p.m. Each test and the final exam counts 25%. The grading scale will be: 97-100% 93-96% 90-92% 87-89% 83-86% 80-82% 77-79% 70-76% 60-69% 0-59%
A+ A AB+ B BC+ C D F
A grade of 0 will be assigned for a missed test, unless arrangements are made in advance for a make-up, which will be given only for acceptable reasons and at the discretion of the instructor. In case of illness, written evidence from a physician or hospital should be submitted. ATTENDANCE POLICY: Students are expected to attend class and be attentive class participants. Attendance will be taken. If you do not attend class during the first week of the semester, you will be administratively dropped. A student who misses more than 4 classes may be dropped from the class roll and assigned a grade of “F”. Each student should make every attempt to be on time for class. Each student should also remain there until class is over for the day. During the first two weeks of the semester the Department of Mathematics and Statistics checks the computer records to determine whether or not each student has met the prerequisites for this course. If you do not have the prerequisites, please inform me and change to another course right away. If our computer search finds that you do not have the prerequisites, you must drop this course or you will be dropped (or withdrawn) automatically. STUDY HABITS: Each student should devote several hours a week outside of class to the course – studying your book and class notes, thinking about the ideas and concepts and how they relate to each other, talking with your classmates about them (study groups are encouraged as they are very effective!), doing the exercises, etc. If you are not prepared to make the effort, you should re-
examine your reasons for taking the course. Don’t get behind. Be accountable, make a commitment, and keep up! Besides working on current assignments, review former material and read ahead. If you happen to miss a class, try to get the notes from someone before the next class; it is your responsibility to find out what was discussed and learn the material for the day you missed. Apart from office hours, there are multiple resources to help you with your studies: 1. Attend academic assistance sessions: every Monday at 12:00pm-1:10pm and Tuesday and Thursday at 4:50pm-6:00pm, in room 120 Kell Hall (times subject to change for Spring 2014 – I will announce updates). 2. Visit the Math Assistance Complex (MAC), room 122 Kell Hall (404-413-6462). 3. A private tutor list is available at the Math Assistance Complex and the Math Department. WITHDRAWAL: The last day for regular withdrawals is March 4, 2014. If a student withdraws from the course after this day, only a “WF” or hardship “W” can be obtained. For a hardship “W”, passing is 60%; see the catalog for other requirements. PLAGIARISM: All work submitted by a student for a grade must be the student’s own work; however, students are otherwise encouraged to discuss course material with each other and with the instructor. Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated on any work. A first occurrence will result in a grade of 0 on the assignment for all concerned parties as well as an Academic Dishonesty form being filed with the Dean of Students. A second occurrence will result in a grade of F for the course for the concerned parties and a second Academic Dishonesty form being filed. See the University’s policy on Academic Honesty at http://www.gsu.edu/~wwwdos/codeofconduct.html DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR: Text messaging, instant messaging, emailing, etc., during class is strictly prohibited and is grounds for dismissal. If you are using your cell phone, using your computer for tasks that are not math related, talking, or otherwise disrupting students, you will be asked to leave. You are expected to turn off your cell phones or put them in silent mode before class begins. Having these items “go off” in class is considered disruptive behavior and can result in your being administratively dropped/withdrawn from the course. Any type of inappropriate conduct may result in your being administratively withdrawn from the course. See the University’s Disruptive Behavior Policy (paragraph 1050.30 in the Undergraduate Catalog, available at http://www.gsu.edu/enrollment/catalogs.html) or On Campus, the official student handbook (http://www.gsu.edu/~wwwcam/). INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY: If the University is closed due to inclement weather, any exam that may have been scheduled for that date will be administered on the next available class date. If an in-class assignment is due that day, it will be due the next class.
