Academic Integrity

Students are responsible to inform themselves of University policies regarding the Code of Academic Integrity. Students found to be in violation of the Code are subject to penalties ranging from a loss of credit for work involved to a grade of E in the course, and risk possible suspension or probation. The Code of Academic Integrity will be enforced in all areas of the course, including, but not limited to, tests and quizzes. For more information about the Code of Academic Integrity policies and procedures, including information about your rights and responsibilities as a student, see

Classroom Conduct

Students at The University of Arizona are expected to conform to the standards of conduct established in the Student Code of Conduct. Prohibited conduct includes:

1. All forms of student academic dishonesty, including cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty, and plagiarism.

2. Interfering with University or University-sponsored activities, including but not limited to classroom related activities, studying, teaching, research, intellectual or creative endeavor, administration, service or the provision of communication, computing or emergency services.

3. Endangering, threatening, or causing physical harm to any member of the University community or to oneself or causing reasonable apprehension of such harm.

4. Engaging in harassment or unlawful discriminatory activities on the basis of age, ethnicity, gender, handicapping condition, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status, or violating University rules governing harassment or discrimination.

Students should turn off all electronic devices during class unless the device is deemed necessary for the class by the instructor. This includes, but is not limited to cell phones, mp3 players, pda’s and computers.

Homework/Quizzes: A computer grading program called WebAssign will be used for problems assigned from the text. Hand-written homework showing all work with proper notation will also be submitted. These problems will come from the text and/or from a set of problems created by your instructor. Worksheets may also be assigned and graded. In-class quizzes will also be given. There are no make-up quizzes. Some quizzes may be dropped. A final homework/ quiz score based on 50 possible points will be assigned. (40 points from Webassign, and 10 points from other homework submissions and quizzes)

( When written homework is collected, I expect the following or absolutely no credit may be given:

1) Homework that is legible and neat

2) Homework that is done on one side of the paper and is stapled.

3) Answers that are justified. Show all your work.

4) Homework is due at the beginning of class.

Note: Late homework may not receive any credit. However, it is still better to turn it in that not to turn it in.

( Under no circumstances will due date extensions be given for Webassign homework. Look at the Webassign due dates carefully, and make sure to give yourself enough time to complete the assignments.

Instructions for WebAssign: To create an account for this class go to , click on the Log-In button, then click on the I Have a Class Key button. The class key for section 17 is arizona 9355 3104.

Final Exam: (200 points) The final exam is a common department exam. It is scheduled for Friday, September 13th from 4:00 – 6:00 pm. Additional information and a study guide can be found in D2L and on the Calculus webpage. All university excused time conflicts should be reported to your Math 122A instructor within the first week of class.

Calculators: A graphing calculator is an important tool that will be used throughout this course. We recommend any model in the TI-83 or TI-84 series. Models that can perform symbolic calculations (also known as CAS) are NOT allowed on exams or quizzes. CAS models include (but are not limited to) the TI-89, TI NSpire CAS, HP 50g, and Casio Classpad 330. Make sure to have a working calculator for quizzes and the final exam. Students are not allowed to share calculators during exams and quizzes.

Grades: Course grades are determined by a percentage of the total possible points (250 points) in the course. A: 100-90% B: 89-80% C: 79-70% D: 69-60% E: 59-0%.

A grade of C or higher is needed to continue registration in Math 122B, First Semester Calculus. If you do not receive a grade of C or better you will be administratively switched out of Math 122B and into a Math 120R class. Grades will be posted in D2L by Tuesday, September 17. It is your responsibility to check your grades and your class schedule. The first day of Math 122B and 120R is Thursday, September 19th.

In order for the Mathematics Department to accommodate all students moving into Math 122B and Math 120R, the time of your originally scheduled Math 122B section may change. If you are administratively switched to Math 120R, there is no guarantee that the time your section meets will be the same as your originally scheduled Math 122A or Math 122B.

Students with disabilities: If you anticipate issues related to the format or requirements of this course, please meet with your instructor to discuss ways to ensure your full participation in the course. If you determine that formal, disability-related accommodations are necessary, it is very important that you be registered with Disability Resources (621-3268; drc.arizona.edu).You should notify your instructor of your eligibility for reasonable accommodations by Friday, August 30th. At that point, you and your instructor can plan how best to coordinate your accommodations.

You may withdraw with a grade of "W" through September 5th using a change of schedule form with your instructor’s signature.
