MCS 121 - Calculus I



Syllabus - Calculus II - Spring 2010-11

You are expected to be fully aware of the following policies and expectations, so review this information carefully and ask your instructor if you have further questions.

1. Prerequisites: You must have taken and passed Math 121 or its equivalent. If you received a D in Math 121, you should consider retaking it. Any questions regarding your readiness for the course should be resolved immediately.

2. Course Coordinators:

James Donnelly jwd25@drexel.edu 215-895-4979 Korman 228

3. Text: Calculus – Early Transcendentals -9th Edition by Anton, Bivens, and Davis - John Wiley & Sons, 2009.

4. Course Format: Depending on your scheduling, your calculus class will meet either two or four times a week. During class your instructor will be presenting lectures on the course material and engaging the class in discussion and problem sessions. Additionally, there will be short quizzes that take place in class each week.

5. Attendance: Regular attendance is essential for success in this course. You are responsible for all the material discussed in class. The quarter system moves very quickly -- if you don't do your work regularly, it is easy to fall behind.

6. Assigned Problems: The assigned problems listed in this syllabus have been chosen to illustrate important concepts and techniques that you are expected to master. These problems are for your benefit and should be worked regularly and in detail. It is only by doing the problems yourself that you will acquire the skills needed for proficiency in the course. Some of these problems will be discussed in lecture, but it is your responsibility to do the work and look at all of the problems. These problems will not be turned in or graded.

7. In-Class Quizzes: Once a week there will be an in-class quiz which will cover material discussed up to that point in the class. Each quiz will be worth 10 points so there will be 100 available points for the entire term. Your final in-class quiz grade will be the total number of points obtained divided by 90, so you can earn over 100% on your final quiz grade. There are no make-up quizzes. You must be present in your scheduled class to take the quiz.

8. Online Assignments: There will be an online component to the course which will incorporate the Wiley eGrade Plus system. If you purchase a new textbook from the Drexel bookstore, it will come with the Wiley Plus access code. You may also purchase the access code directly at ; the code will allow you to view the entire textbook online. You must have a Wiley Plus access code for this course. There will be eight online assignments that must be completed during the quarter. Each assignment will be open for two weeks with the exception of the first which will be open for three weeks. Any online assignment submitted after the due date will suffer a 50% reduction in the number of points earned. Each question will be worth two points, and your final score for the online assignments will be determined by dividing the total number of points you earn by the total number of possible points.

9. Exams: There will be three midterm exams during the term, in addition to a final exam. These will be common exams (all students take the exam at the same time) given during the 8:00 – 8:50 a.m. exam period. There will be a SINGLE make-up exam for anyone who misses one of the three regularly scheduled exams. It will be given during the 10th week of the term (exact details will be posted on the course website) and will be comprehensive for the material covered on exams 1, 2, and 3.

Your University ID is REQUIRED for all exams. You must know your Section number for all exams. Five points will be deducted from your exam grade if you do not write down your correct section number on your exam. All exams are closed book and closed notes. No calculators or other electronic devices are permitted for any of the exams.

10. Final Exam. There will be a comprehensive two-hour final exam scheduled during the final exam week at the end of the term.

11. Course Grades: Your course average will be computed according to the following formula: your in-class quiz grade will count 10%, your online assignment grade will count 10%, your two highest midterms will count 20% each, and your final exam will count 20%. An additional 20% will come from either your final exam grade or your lowest midterm, whichever is higher.

|90-100 A |80-89 B |70-79 C |60-69 D |

Plusses and minuses will be assigned at the discretion of the instructor. In addition, the instructional staff of Math 122 reserves the right to modify the above grading criteria as needed in individual cases.

12. Math Resource Center – Korman 247. Go there! The MRC is staffed by faculty and teaching assistants who can help you with your math courses. No appointment is necessary. Hours and availability can be found at: . Students who visit the MRC regularly often raise their grades by at least one grade level.

13. Academic Honesty: Cheating and other forms of academic misconduct are serious offenses and are dealt with harshly, e.g. at the very least a 0 on an exam and a letter sent to the Office of Student Conduct. Students are expected to be familiar with the policies of academic conduct outlined in the student handbook:

14. Disabilities and Accommodations: Student with disabilities requesting accommodations and services at Drexel University need to present a current accommodation verification letter (AVL) to faculty before accommodations can be made.  AVL’s are issued by the Office of Disability Services (ODS).  For additional information, contact ODS at drexel.edu/ods, 3201 Arch St., Street, Suite 210, Philadelphia, PA  19104, 215.895.1401 (V), or 215.895.2299 (TTY).
