COURSE DESCRIPTION AND PREREQUISITE: (4 hours) Limits and continuity; derivatives and integrals; differentiation and integration of polynomial, rational, trigonometric, and algebraic functions; applications, including slope, velocity, extrema, area, volume and work. Prerequisite: MATH 1650; or both MATH 1600 and MATH 1610
SECTIONS COVERED:
Chapter 2: sections 2.1-2.6; Chapter 3: sections 3.1-3.8;
Chapter 4: sections 4.1-4.4, 4.6-4.8; Chapter 5: Sections 5.1-5.5; and Chapter 6: sections 6.1-6.6.
ATTENDANCE AND GRADING POLICY:
Average of Homework and Quizzes: 15%
Three Tests : 60% (20% each)
Final Exam : 25%
Attendance is mandatory. No late homework accepted. No make-up quizzes or tests will be given.
Students are responsible for all information given in class, regardless of his/her attendance.
Starting Monday, Feb 27, students may be administratively dropped from the course for nonattendance with a grade of WF. The last day a student may be dropped for nonattendance is Friday, April 20. Four or more absences constitute nonattendance.
On any day, if you disrupt the class you will be asked to leave the classroom and marked absent. You may also be reported for further disciplinary actions. Disruptive behaviors include --but are not limited to -- talking, making inappropriate jokes, texting, leaving class to answer phone, or performing other tasks that are not related to class work.
Homework will be collected and quizzes will be given (almost) weekly. The grade of three randomly selected problems from the collected homework will earn you 50% of the weekly homework and quiz grade. The two problems on the quiz will earn you the other 50%. If you miss a quiz, its score will be zero. Three lowest quiz /homework scores will be dropped. There will be three tests. Roughly, the first test will cover chapter 2 and sections 3.1-3.5, the second 3.6-3.8 and chapter 4; and the last chapters 5 and 6. In addition, there will be a comprehensive final exam. You may replace your lowest test score with the final exam score if the latter is higher. If you miss a test, you may use the final exam score for this test. On some tests/exam you may be permitted to use a scientific or four-function calculator but not calculators which can perform calculus operations.

Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness (SETE): is a requirement for all organized classes at UNT. This short survey will be made available to you at the end of the semester, providing you a chance to comment on how this class is taught.It is the responsibility of students with certified disabilities to provide the instructor with appropriate documentation from the Office of Disability Accommodations (ODA).
NOTES:
Students are responsible for meeting all university deadlines (registration, fee payment, prerequisite verification, drop deadlines, etc). See the printed Schedule of Classes and/or University Catalog for policies and dates.
Electronic access for homework assistance is available at: www.math.unt.edu/mathlab/emathlab
Student Responsibilities:
Disruptive behavior that interferes with an instructor's ability to conduct a class or other students' opportunity to learn is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in any instructional forum at UNT. Any student engaging in such behavior will be directed to leave the classroom and may be referred to the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities to be considered whether the student's conduct has violated the Code of Student Conduct. The university's expectations for students’ conduct apply to all instructional forums, including university and electronic classroom, labs, discussion groups, field trips, etc.
• You should read over this syllabus carefully, as I will hold you responsible for the information herein.
• You are expected to read the chapters carefully, including the examples in the book.
• You are responsible for obtaining all handouts. If you are absent when handouts are given, it is your responsibility to obtain copies.
• You should begin to work now. Frequent practice is crucial to the successful completion of a mathematics course. Cramming at the last minute will certainly lead to failure. Typically, successful students would spend an hour or two after each lecture with classmate(s) to review the lesson and work homework problems. Instead of waiting until the last minute, such students work on the assignments, read their textbooks, and make learning notes daily.
• WARNING: If you are in academic trouble, or in danger of losing your financial support, or if your parent or guardian is expecting a certain grade at the end of the semester... start working today! I will refuse to listen to any pleas at the end of the semester. You will receive precisely the grade that you earn.
• Drop Policy: If you are unable to complete this course, it is your responsibility to formally withdraw from the course. You may do so through the Registrar's Office after obtaining the necessary signatures. Consents for withdrawal may be obtained in the Math Department Office, GAB 435. The last day to drop a class with an automatic "W" is February 24. The last day to drop a class with a "W" or "WF" is March 27. A"WF" is averaged into your GPA as an "F." If you do not properly withdraw from the course but stop attending, you will receive a performance grade, usually an"F".
Test Schedule and Grading Policies
The following schedule is tentative and is subject to capricious changes in case of extracurricular events deemed sufficiently important to the upper administration. Note that you will not have the entire one-hour, fifty-minute period for the test as new material will be covered on the same day.
Three Tests: Test 1: (Chapter 2, Sections 3.1-3.5) 2/20
Test 2: (Sections 3.6-3.8, Chapter 4) 3/28
Test 3: (Chapters 5 and 6) 4/25
Comprehensive Final Exam and time: Monday, May 7, 8:00-10:00
Grades: A 90%-100%, B 80% - 89%, C 70% - 79%, D 60% - 69%, F below 60%
• Academic Dishonesty: Cooperation is encouraged in doing the homework assignments but not allowed on the tests/exams. If you are caught cheating, you will be subject to any penalty the instructor deems appropriate, up to and including an automatic F for the course. Furthermore, a letter will be sent to the appropriate dean. Refer to the following university site for the official policy with regards to academic dishonesty. The website is: http://vpaa.unt.edu/academic-integrity.htm.
• The grade of "I" is designed for students unable to complete work in the course but currently passing the course. The guidelines are clearly spelled out in the Student Handbook. Before asking, you should read these requirements.
Exam Policies
• Unless announced otherwise, any graphing calculator will not be permitted for use on tests/exams.
• I expect to give tests on the dates listed above. However, these are tentative dates. I will announce the exact date of each test in class.
• After a test is returned in class, you have 48 hours to appeal your grade. I will not listen to any appeals after this 48-hour period.
• NO MAKE-UP TESTS WILL BE GIVEN. A test may be taken prior to the scheduled date. I request a week’s notice for this accommodation via email. In the event of a schedule conflict with a university function, dental/physician’s appointment, wedding, formal, etc., you must take the test early. If you do not take a scheduled test, a zero will be recorded for that test and a notice may be sent through the registrar’s office.
There are three in-class tests. If your final exam score is higher than one of your in-class test scores, then that in-class test score will be replaced with final exam score. If you miss an in-class test, a zero will be recorded for that test score and your final exam score will replace that one zero. If you receive a zero for cheating on a test, the final exam score will NOT replace that zero. The final exam score can count as 25% of the course grade or 45% of the course grade. Again, NO MAKE-UP TESTS WILL BE GIVEN FOR ANY REASON EVER.
• The Final Examination will be comprehensive in the sense that problems may come from any sections that have been covered during the semester.
• I reserve the right to test and quiz you on problems which are generalizations of material covered in the class and/or in the text. In short, the problems may not look exactly like the ones in the book.
• Everything that I say in class is fair game for exam material. You will be responsible for everything unless I advise you to the contrary.
Homework and Quiz Policies
• Homework will be collected once a week, in general.
• Homework will be collected and quizzes will be given almost weekly. The grade of three randomly selected problems from the collected homework will earn you 50% of the weekly Homework and Quiz grade.
• When computing the final grade, I will drop the three lowest homework and quiz grades before computing the average. I have this policy in case you get sick, have a family emergency, etc., during the semester. You will still be responsible for the material in such assignments during the examinations.
• Because of this policy, I will NOT give extensions on homework assignments, nor will I accept late assignments for any reason whatsoever.
