Math 8 Calculus II Spring 2012 Instructor: Gail Edinger Office: Math Complex 59 Campus Extension: (310) 434-3972 Office Hours: Monday& Thursday: 9:30 10:30 a.m., Tuesday 7:10 8:10 a.m.., Email: edinger_gail@smc.edu **Important note: Due to problems with email from unknown senders, put the following in the subject section of all emails: Your full name Math 8. If you do not have this in the subject section I will not read your email.****** Course Description: Topics include conic sections, logarithms and exponential functions, trigonometric and hyperbolic functions and their inverses, techniques of integration and indeterminate forms, Taylor s Formula, infinite series and polar coordinates. Required Text: Calculus, Swokowski Calculator: Any scientific calculator, calculators may not be used on exams. Outline: There is a class schedule and outline attached. Please note that there could be changes to this schedule. Attendance: Attendance is expected and encouraged. I will try to take attendance at every class. If you are absent for all or part of more than 3 classes, you may be withdrawn for nonattendance, regardless of current grade in the class. If you intend to drop the class, do not just stop coming. It is your responsibility to do the paperwork. If you are absent, you are still responsible for all material covered. You will be expected to complete and turn in all assignments on time. You may call me, email me or contact a classmate to find out what you have missed so that you can complete the material. You are also responsible for any changes to the syllabus, including changes in exam dates and assignment dates. Homework: You are expected to do homework after every class. The homework is not collected, but is considered due at the beginning of the next class. It is an important part of this class and crucial to your success. An initial assignment list is attached. There will be a short time at the beginning of each class (approx. 10 minutes) to answer short questions on the homework from the previous class. If you have many questions, please see me during office hours or go to the math lab. I will only answer questions from the previous homework assignment during class. If you fall behind on the assignments, I will be glad to answer those questions during office hours, but we will not take class time away from the students who have kept up to answer questions for those that have fallen behind in the assignments. If there is time at the end of the evening, I will gladly stay until the end of class time and answer questions from any section. Exams: There are 6 exams scheduled, each is worth 100 points. (See outline for dates) These will be closed book exams, scheduled for the entire class time. You are expected to take the exams on the scheduled date. NO MAKE-UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN. If you have a verifiable emergency and absolutely must miss one exam, the grade from the final will be substituted for that exam. If you cannot document an emergency that forced you to miss the exam you will receive a grade of 0% for the exam. If you miss more than one exam, you will receive a grade of 0% for the second exam missed. There will be no exceptions to this policy. If you have taken all of the scheduled in class exams you may substitute the grade on the final for your lowest exam grade. There will be a comprehensive final. The date is noted on the outline.
Quizzes: There are 5 quizzes scheduled. These will be short and timed, usually about 20 30 minutes, and extra time will not be allowed. They will be given either at the beginning or end of class. Each will be worth 25 points. At the end of the semester the lowest quiz will be dropped and the other 4 will be combined to be 10% of your grade. NO MAKE_UP QUIZZES WILL BE GIVEN FOR ANY REASON. The final cannot be substituted for this grade, only for your lowest exam. If you miss more than one quiz you will be assigned a grade of 0 for that quiz. A missed quiz can be the one quiz dropped. The quizzes will be given only in the time allowed in class, if you arrive late or have to leave early, you will not, under any circumstances, be given extra time or a different time to take the quiz. Grading: The final grades will be assigned according to final averages as follows: 90 100 = A, 80 89 = B, 70 79 = C, 60 69 = D, below 60 = F using the following formula: 60% = exam scores 10% = Quiz scores 30% = Comprehensive final If you have taken all of the in class exams and your final exam grade is greater than ONE of your in class exam grades, that low exam grade will be dropped and the final exam score will take its place. This is the only way that the grades will be curved. Academic Honesty: The academic honesty policy of Santa Monica College will be strictly enforced. If there is any evidence of academic dishonesty on any exam or graded work, all parties involved will receive a grade of 0% for the entire exam or graded assignment, regardless of who did the original work and how much of the exam or assignment was involved. This 0% cannot be the exam grade dropped. It will count toward your final average. A report of Academic Dishonesty will be filed with the school. Disabilities: Working with the disabled student center, I will make accommodations for disability related needs. Reaching me: Drop by during office hours. If you have a question outside office hours, the best way to find me is via email. I check my email daily, Monday - Friday and will be glad to answer any questions on the homework. I will do my best to check email on the weekends, but if I cannot get to it on Sat. or Sun. I will definitely respond on the following Monday. Comments: 1. Get to know each other 2. Ask questions. If you do not understand something, ask as soon as possible. I welcome questions during class. You may also ask for help before class and during the break. 3. Make frequent use of the math lab. This is a useful way to get questions answered. It is FREE! 4. Keep up. I cannot stress this enough. The material is cumulative and if you fall behind, it is very difficult to catch up. You should expect to do 1 2 hours of homework for every hour spent in class. 5. You are expected to turn off your cell phone, pager, watch or any other noise making device before class starts. If your device goes off in class you will be asked to turn it off immediately. Please do not take this as an opportunity to check your message. If your device goes off during an exam or quiz, your exam or quiz will be considered finished, the work will be collected and you will be asked to leave. No additional time will be given.
Outline Note: We will try to stay as close to this schedule as possible. Students are responsible for all changes and announcements regarding this outline. All homework should be completed and could be covered on any exam.

This means 6 12 hours per week. 3) There is a review at the end of every chapter. These can be helpful in preparing for the exams. 4) This schedule is approximate and there will probably be changes as we move through the semester. 5) Note there is review time scheduled before each exam, this may involve group work that will be graded. The only exception is exam 4. **Note that if we have time it is useful to go briefly over chapter 12, so if we do have time we will insert that into the schedule

Withdrawal Deadlines Last day to withdraw in Spring Semester (16-week session) To receive enrollment fee and tuition refund By web Thurs, Feb 23, 2012, 10 p.m. To avoid a W on permanent record By web Mon, Mar 5, 2012, 10 p.m. To receive a guaranteed W By web Sun, Apr 8, 2012, 10 p.m. To receive a W with faculty approval of extenuating circumstances (NO grade check required) (instructor must drop you online) Sun, May 6, 2012 To request a W after Sunday, April 8, you must have spoken with me in person by Thursday, May 3 at 2:00 p.m.(not via email or phone). The circumstances must be documented and in my hands by that time. I will not be available on the weekend to submit withdrawals. Please note: extenuating circumstances means that there is some verifiable and unforeseeable emergency which precludes your completing your semester at SMC. This does NOT include avoiding a low grade, the effect of this class on your GPA, your transfer status or any other such circumstance. You will have until the guaranteed W date, to drop for these reasons, after that you are in the class for a grade. If you want discuss extenuating circumstances to invoke this option of withdrawing after above date you will probably be in a situation which requires that you withdraw from ALL of your SMC classes not just this one.
