Textbook: Essential Calculus Early Transcendentals; James Stewart; 2007 Thomson Brooks/Cole.

Calculator: Graphing calculators are not allowed on any work in this course. A scientific calculator may be necessary

on some tests, including the Final Exam.

Grading:1. Quizzes and assignments (10%)

  1. Tests (60%): You must take each of the four tests in class on the scheduled date.
  2. Final Exam (30%): This exam is comprehensive and must be taken at the assigned time.

Class Policies: 1. You are expected to be in class each day (and on time). Absences and tardies are unacceptable. Please remain in class until you are dismissed. You may be dropped from the course if you have

three or more unexcused absences.

  1. Please stay focused on this course—do not read other material, sleep, or talkwhile class is in session.

3. The academic work in this course will be subject to the guidelines of the SMU Honor Code.

4. If you miss an exam, contact your instructor immediately. Make-up tests will only be given in

appropriate circumstances (illness, family emergencies, religious, and university-sanctioned

activities). If you miss an exam and do not contact your instructor within a week, you will be

dropped from the class.

Disability Accommodations: Students needing academic accommodations for a disability must first contact Disability Accommodations & Success Strategies (DASS) at 214-768-1470 or to verify the disability and to establish eligibility for accommodations. They should then schedule an appointment with the professor to make appropriate arrangements.

Religious Observance: Religiously observant students wishing to be absent on holidays that require missing class should notify their professors in writing at the beginning of the semester, and should discuss with them, in advance, acceptable ways of making up any work missed because of the absence.

Excused Absences for University Extracurricular Activities: Students participating in an officially sanctioned, scheduled University extracurricular activity will be given the opportunity to make up class assignments or other graded assignments missed as a result of their participation. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements for make- up work with the instructor prior to any missed class.
