Email: eshannon@pierce.ctc.edu Phone: 253-912-2328 Email and phone responses may take up to 24 hours, or longer on weekends. Class Meetings MTuWThF 10:00am 10:50am in Rainier 468 Course Description This course will cover integral calculus. Topics include: Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Definite and indefinite integrals. Methods of Integration. Applications of integration. Improper integrals. Introduction to first order differential equations. Prerequisite MATH& 151 grade of at least 2.0, or an appropriate placement score or equivalent. Text Calculus, Early Transcendentals (8th Edition) by James Stewart (ISBN 1285741552). The textbook is required for this course. You will generally not need to bring your textbook with you to class. The textbook is expensive! You can apply for a Peter Hartman Math Book Loaning Scholarship by visiting the Math department webpage http://www.pierce.ctc.edu/dept/math/ and clicking on Peter Hartman Textbook Scholarship Application in the left sidebar. These applications are due on Friday, January 6, by 1:00pm. The Pierce College library may also have copies of the textbook available on reserve. At a minimum, we will cover the following sections of the text: Chapter 5 all sections; Chapter 6 sections 1, 2, 4, and 5; Chapter 7 all sections; Chapter 8 sections 1 and 2; Chapter 9 sections 1, 2, and 3. Calculator A graphing calculator is required for this course. I recommend the TI-84 or TI-84+; the TI-83 is adequate. The recommended calculator can be rented from the Pierce College Fort Steilacoom Library for $15 for the quarter (pay at the Cashiers, then go to library with receipt); this includes batteries. Another option is to request a graphing calculator loan from the Peter Hartman Math Book Loaning Scholarship (described above; applications due Jan 6 at 1:00pm). You will need to bring your calculator to class with you each day. If you need help using your calculator, come to office hours and I will help you figure it out. 1
Attendance & Participation Much of our in-class time will be spent engaged in active learning components. These components may include worksheets, discussion, student presentations of solutions, etc. Your attendance and contribution are critical for the success of these learning tools, so a part of your grade in this course will be based on your attendance, preparedness for class, and participation. WAMAP Homework This course will have online homework. Assignments and other resources will be on www.wamap.org In order to join the course on WAMAP you will need the following data: Course ID: 13704 Enrollment Key: Winter2017 Set up your WAMAP account right away. The first assignment is due before class on Thursday, January 5! It is your responsibility to keep track of when WAMAP assignments are due. Because life occasionally intervenes, you also have a few LatePasses available in WAMAP, which extend the deadline of an assignment by 48 hours. Quizzes There will be frequent in-class quizzes. These will typically be announced in advance, but may also be unannounced. If you need to miss class, tell me as soon as possible; you may be able to take the quiz early. Make-up quizzes will generally not be permitted, except in extreme circumstances. In-Class Exams There will be three in-class exams. Tentative dates for these exams are below. Chapter 5 Exam (integrals) : Monday, January 23 Chapter 7 Exam (integration methods): Tuesday, February 21 Chapters 6 and 8 Exam (applications of integration): Friday, March 10 These exam dates may change! Any changes will be announced in class and via a message to the class in WAMAP. Exams may include calculator and no-calculator sections, and may include group work. Exams may have a take-home portion. If you have an unavoidable conflict with a scheduled exam, you must notify me right away in writing. I will do my best to accommodate you, but rescheduled exams are not guaranteed. If an emergency arises so you cannot speak to me before the exam period, you must leave a clear message on my email or voice mail as soon as possible, and indicate how I can contact you. If you miss an exam (or miss the time arranged for a rescheduled exam) and do not contact me in advance, or explain your emergency right away, you will generally receive a grade of zero for that exam. 2
Final Exam There will be a final exam given during exam week at the two-hour time slot scheduled by the college. The final exam will be held in our regular classroom. The final will be cumulative over all of the material of the course. The final exam is scheduled for Wednesday, March 22, 10:00am noon. Grading Your course grade will be computed from: Attendance and In-class Participation............................... 5% WAMAP Homework................................................. 20% Quizzes................................................................ 10% Three In-Class Exams (15% each).................................. 45% Final Exam............................................................ 20% The following indicates how an overall percentage grade translates to a decimal grade in this course: 4.0-95+% 3.3-87% 2.6-78% 1.9-69% 1.2-62% 3.9-94% 3.2-86% 2.5-76-77% 1.8-68% 1.1-61% 3.8-93% 3.1-84-85% 2.4-75% 1.7-67% 1.0-60% 3.7-92% 3.0-83% 2.3-74% 1.6-66% 0.0-0-59% 3.6-91% 2.9-82% 2.2-72-73% 1.5-65% 3.5-90% 2.8-80-81% 2.1-71% 1.4-64% 3.4-88-89% 2.7-79% 2.0-70% 1.3-63% Syllabus Modifications I reserve the right to add, delete, or rearrange the course content or deadlines as necessary; you will be given reasonable notice of such changes. I also reserve the right to change any aspect of this syllabus at any time throughout the quarter. Any such changes will be announced in class and via a message to the class in WAMAP. Access and Disability Services Your experience in this class is important to me, and it is the policy and practice of Pierce College to create inclusive and accessible learning environments consistent with federal and state law. If you experience barriers based on disability, please seek a meeting with the Access and Disability Services (ADS) manager to discuss and address them. If you have already established accommodations with the ADS manager, please bring your approved accommodations (green sheet) to me at your earliest convenience so we can discuss your needs in this course. ADS offers resources and coordinates reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations are established through an interactive process between you and the ADS manager, and I am available to help facilitate them in this class. If you have not yet established services through ADS, but have a temporary or permanent disability that requires accommodations (this can include but not be limited to; mental health, attention-related, learning, vision, hearing, physical or health impacts), you are encouraged to contact ADS at 253-964-6526 (Fort Steilacoom) or 253-840-8335 (Puyallup). 3
Student Responsibilities (WAC 132K-126-180) Students who choose to attend Pierce College also choose to actively participate in the learning process offered by the college. The college is responsible for providing an educational environment rich in the high quality resources needed by students to attain their educational goals. In return, the college has the expectation that each student shall assume responsibility for the following: 1. Become knowledgeable of and adhere to policies, practices, procedures and rules of the college and its departments; 2. Practice personal and academic integrity; 3. Respect the dignity, rights and property of all persons; 4. Strive to learn from differences in people, ideas and opinions; 5. Participate actively in the learning process, in and out of the classroom; 6. Refrain from and discourage behaviors which undermine the respect all Pierce College community members deserve; 7. Abide by the standards set forth in the student rights and responsibilities/code of conduct policy. Pierce College Student Code of Conduct: http://www.pierce.ctc.edu/about/policy/studentrr Academic Integrity Students are expected to work cooperatively with classmates on homework assignments and group projects. Please do your own work on all individual tests and quizzes. Be sure you have no unauthorized notes or help available to you during a quiz or test, and provide no unauthorized aids to any other student. Keep your eyes only on your own work and shield your work from the eyes of others. I expect that you will not cheat in this class. If cheating does occur, the student will receive zero points on the test, quiz, or assignment. A second offense may result in a grade of 0.0 for the course. 4
