PREREQUISITE COURSE: MATH 240, Mathematics I

COURSE GOALS: Students will become proficient in the differential calculus of functions of one variable, its technical aspects (including the product, quotient and chain rules as well as derivatives of powers, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions) as well as its applications (including graphing, optimization, related rates).

TEXTBOOKS:  Calculus: Early Transcendentals, by James Stewart, 5th. Ed, and 
                            Single Variable Calculus with Precalculus (second edition), by B. Schröder, Fountainhead Press

COURSE OUTLINE: Stewart: 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 -3.11, 4.1- 4.7, 4.9, 4.10, Schröder, 4.1-4.2, 8.1-8.4, 11.1

ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS:  Class attendance is regarded as an obligation as well as a privilege.  All students are expected to attend regularly and punctually; failure to do so may jeopardize a student’s scholastic standing and may lead to suspension from the university.  
STUDENTS NEEDING SPECIAL ACCOMODATIONS: Students needing testing or classroom accommodations based on a documented disability are encouraged to discuss the need with me as soon as possible.
HOMEWORK: Homework will be completed using WeBWorK (http://webwork.latech.edu/webwork2 ). Additional suggested study problems from the text are listed at the end of the syllabus. WeBWorK will contribute 10% to the overall grade. WeBWorK assignments will be graded based upon what is completed online – paper submissions will not be accepted.
CALCULATOR POLICY: A graphing calculator that does at least as much as the TI-82 will be required for the course.   Calculators are not allowed in any test or exam.
EXAMINATIONS: There will be 3 exams, in addition to a comprehensive final exam at the end of the quarter.  If you miss an exam, you must notify the instructor prior to the exam either in person or by phone.  When you return, it is your responsibility to arrange for a makeup exam. 
ALEKS. The ALEKS tutoring package will be required for this course. The course code is <JTGHK-AQWNJ>. The ALEKS grade will be comprised of 2/3 for up to 100% performance on the assessment or up to 20 hours of work (5 hours per week) and 1/3 for a trigonometry quiz.  
ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT. In accordance with p.30 of the Louisiana Tech University bulletin, any form of plagiarism is considered academic misconduct and will carry a minimum penalty of an “F” for the assignment in question. The instructor reserves the right to enforce a more stringent penalty.

GRADE DETERMINATION POLICY:  The standard ten-point grading scale will be used:  A = 90% - 100%; 
B = 80% - 89%; C = 70% - 79%; D = 60% - 69%; F = 0% - 59%.  The course grade will be calculated as follows:
Exams (3×19% each)		  57%
Webwork			  10%
ALEKS				    6%
Final				  27%
Total	            			100%	

GRADE APPEAL:  In the event of a question regarding an exam grade or final grade, it will be the responsibility of the student to retain and present graded materials which have been returned for student possession during the quarter.

This class is a part of the MATH 240 series and the Cumulative Mathematics GPA Policy for engineering programs.  If you are an engineering major, please read the policy at http://www.latech.edu/coes/assets/engr_math_policy.pdf and see your program’s curriculum checksheet for more details.

Honor Code: “Being a student of a higher standard, I pledge to embody the principles of academic integrity.” This is the pledge that each student is expected to abide by in this course as stated in the Honor Code. For more details about the honor code please refer to Chapter 4 of the University Bulletin. The Bulletin is posted online at http://www.latech.edu/registrar/bulletin/.
