Technology integrated throughout the course. LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Analyze functions in a variety of settings. 2. Define, analyze and use limits. 3. Compute derivatives. 4. Use the derivative in applications. 5. Set up, compute and evaluate basic integrals. 6. Use technology to compute limits, derivatives and integrals. V. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Students and employees at Oakton Community College are required to demonstrate academic integrity and follow Oakton s Code of Academic Conduct. This code prohibits: cheating, plagiarism (turning in work not written by you, or lacking proper citation), falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting the truth), helping others to cheat, unauthorized changes on official documents, pretending to be someone else or having someone else pretend to be you, making or accepting bribes, special favors, or threats, and any other behavior that violates academic integrity There are serious consequences to violations of the academic integrity policy. Oakton s policies and procedures provide students a fair hearing if a complaint is made against you. If you are found to have violated the policy,
the minimum penalty is failure on the assignment and, a disciplinary record will be established and kept on file in the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for a period of 3 years. Please review the Code of Academic Conduct and the Code of Student Conduct, both located online at www.oakton.edu/studentlife/student-handbook.pdf VI.

b. Evaluate definite integrals. c. Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. d. Evaluate definite integrals using symmetry. e. Apply the substitution rule. f. Calculate the position, velocity, displacement and distance travelled by an object as well as the net change and future value of an object. g. Compute the area of a region bounded by two or more curves. h. Use technology to evaluate integrals numerically and/or symbolically. VII. VIII. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION Methods of presentation will include lectures, discussion, demonstration, audio-visual aids, group work, and regularly assigned homework. Calculators/computers will be used when appropriate Course will be taught face-to-face. COURSE EXPECTATIONS Your regular attendance is expected and will be important to your success in this class. As such, an attendance sheet will circulate each class meeting. It is your responsibility to make sure that you sign the attendance sheet each session. Coming to class late (or leaving early) is a distraction. If it is necessary for you to leave early - or if you arrive late, you will be considered to have been absent for half of the class. Absences due to illness (with a timely doctor s note) or legal matters (with documentation) will excused. If it is necessary for you to miss class, you are still responsible for the material missed. You may find it beneficial to exchange phone numbers with a 'study buddy'. Office hours will not be used to replace regular class attendance. Please advise me of any religious holidays this semester, on which you will be absent from class, within the first 2 weeks of class. Every student is expected to participate in class during group work and lecture. Come prepared for class. This includes: Study the appropriate section(s) in the textbook. Review the lecture notes. It is highly recommended that you review each lecture on the day it was presented. Do all assigned homework. Prepare for the next class by reading section(s) to be covered at the next class Academic integrity. All work is expected to be your own. Ask for clarification if you don't understand something. If you don't feel comfortable asking questions in class, please ask them via e-mail or during office hours. The tutoring center is another excellent resource for answers. Students are expected to maintain a classroom environment that allows learning for all students. If you would rather sleep, read extraneous material, send/receive text messages, do homework in class or hold side conversations, you will be asked to utilize one of your absences. Assignments and Exams You will need your own graphing calculator for use on quizzes and exams. Calculators may not be shared and you are not permitted to use more than one calculator on an exam or quiz. Cellular phones and the like may not be used as a calculator in class as this is considered cheating. Homework will be completed and graded in MyLabsPlus Because of the need to stay current with the material, I cannot accept late assignments, but I will drop the lowest homework assignment if you have no more than two unexcused absences.

Make-up Tests: There will be no make-up tests unless you have a documented emergency. If you miss a test, then your final exam score will be used in place of the test that you missed. If you know you will miss a test, please make arrangements to take the test early. IX.

Electronic video and/or audio recording is not permitted during class unless the student obtains written permission from the instructor. In cases where recordings are allowed, such content is restricted to personal use only. Any distribution of such recordings is strictly prohibited. Personal use is defined as use by an individual student for the purpose of studying or completing course assignments. For students who have been approved for audio and/or video recording of lectures and other classroom activities as a reasonable accommodation by Oakton s Access Disabilities Resource Center (ADRC), applicable federal law requires instructors to permit those recordings. Such recordings are also limited to personal use. Any distribution of such recordings is strictly prohibited.
