SYLLABUS and COURSE INFORMATION

TEXTBOOK:

Brief Applied Calculus, J. Stewart and D. Clegg, CENGAGE Learning, ISBN: 9781285106519.

PIAZZA:

This semester we will be using Piazza as a forum for communication; all class-related discussion will be conducted there so that you can enjoy the collective knowledge of your classmates and instructors. I encourage you to ask questions when you are struggling to understand concepts - you can even do so anonymously.

Your course grade will be based on homework/quizzes (20%), two in-class midterms (20% each), and a final exam (40%).
Your total scores will be curved. No letter grades will be assigned before the end of the semester.
The midterm exams are scheduled on February 21 and April 4. The final exam is scheduled on 05/07/2017, 7:25-9:25PM.
Use of phones, tablets, laptops or calculators will not be allowed during exams. You must bring a valid UW Photo ID to all exams.
If you are eligible for special consideration on exams, please let me know as soon as possible, so that I can ensure that your needs are accommodated.
Make-up midterm exams will be considered only if there is a conflict with another university-related event (in which case case you need to contact me or your TA as soon as possible), or a last-minute medical/family emergency (you need to show proof of such emergency, e.g., doctor's notes). There will be no make-up exam for the final.
