       Required Textbook: Calculus Volume 2 from OpenStax, Print 
       ISBN 1938168062, Digital ISBN 194717214X, 
       www.openstax.org/details/calculus-volume-2  
        
       Good news: your textbook for this class is available for free online, 
       in web view and PDF format! You can also purchase a print 
       version, if you prefer, from OpenStax on Amazon.com.  
        
       If you buy on Amazon, make sure you use the link on your book page on openstax.org so 
       you get the official OpenStax print version. (Simple printouts sold by third parties on 
       Amazon are not verifiable and not as high-quality.) 
        
       Required Technology: You will need regular access to a computer with internet access. 
       Our homework will be accessed via an online homework system called MyOpenMath.com. 
       This is a free homework system. To access the system, simply click on the links provided 
       in Moodle. 
       Please contact me if you have issues accessing the system. 
       Recommended Technology: I would recommend purchasing a TI-83 or TI-84 for this 
       class. You will be allowed a calculator on most tests, and a TI-83 or TI-84 would be the most 
       valuable option. 
       Student Learning Outcomes  
       Upon successful completion of this course, students will have demonstrated the ability to:  
        1.  Compute integrals and use them in applications.  
           a.  For this course, the focus is on special techniques of integration. Students will 
             also identify, classify, and evaluate improper integrals.  
        2.  Use series to represent functions. Students will also identify whether a 
          sequence/series converges or diverges.  
        3.  Describe graphs given by parametric and polar equations with the use of derivatives 
          and use integrals in applications. 
       Instructional Methods 
       I personally believe that one learns mathematics by truly doing mathematics. Thus, come to 
       class prepared to do math in class. You will be working on tasks and problems with your 
       fellow students, and occasionally presenting your work to the class. Therefore, come 
       prepared to work with your fellow classmates to learn mathematics. 
        
       Course material will be presented in-class with some (rare) online supplements. 
       Expected Student Behavior 
       This will be a very interactive class. Thus, there is an expectation of respect for the ideas 
       and opinions of others. Also, there is an expectation of participation. You are expected to 
       participate by actively engaging with course material during class time. This engagement 
       can take the form of sharing opinions, listening to the opinions of others, and respectfully 
       disagreeing when necessary. 
        
       You are expected to come to class prepared to participate. That means being on time and 
       bringing needed materials to class. Failing to come to class prepared and on time will affect 
       your grade. 
        
       This class is a 5-credit hour class. Because of that, you can expect to spend 10-15 hours 
       outside of class each week working on material for this class. I will do my best to make 
       sure the homework is more than just busy work. In return, I expect you to put your best 
                 effort into completing the homework in a timely and honest manner. 
                 One of the best things you can do to increase your probability of success in this class is to 
                 form a study group. Find at least two or three other students in the class with whom to 
                 work on homework and study for tests. Occasionally you will be assigned to work with 
                 particular classmates on projects. When working with classmates, make sure that your 
                 work on individual assignments is your own original work. Cheating will not be tolerated. 
                  
                 Please do not use tobacco products in my class. Food is allowed as long as it does not create 
                 a distraction. 
                 Out-of-Class Assistance 
                 As noted above, I have eight hours of office hours each week. If you need help with a 
                 particular assignment, and you cannot come in to my office hours, please contact me and 
                 set up a time to meet. 
                 There is also tutoring available for our class at the tutoring center. To get more information 
                 about tutoring, either visit the tutoring center in the upper level of the library, call 
                 (307)754-6052, or come visit with me. 
                 You can also access online tutoring through Moodle. On the main page for our course, click 
                 on the NetTutor icon and follow the onscreen directions. 
                 Course Policies 
                 Grading Policies 
                 There will be six unit exams, and a comprehensive final exam. There will also be other 
                 assignments that may include problem sets, quizzes, graded activities, or projects. In-class 
                 participation will also impact your grade. Grades are weighted as noted below. 
                     •   6 unit exams ....................................................................................................................................... 50% 
                     •   Integral Mastery Test ...................................................................................................................... 10% 
                     •   Final exam ........................................................................................................................................... 20% 
                     •   Participation ......................................................................................................................................... 5% 
                     •   Other assignments ..........................................................................................................................  15% 
                 In this class, other assignments include homework, quizzes, and other in-class activities. 
                 You can expect to turn in work at least once a week. Homework is due at 8 pm on the due 
                 date. Late homework generally will not be accepted. In-class activities will not be 
                 announced in advance and there will be no make-ups. If you feel you need an extension on a 
                 homework assignment, please let me know promptly, preferably at least 24 hours before it 
                 is due. I am willing to grant extensions for reasonable requests. 
                 Your participation grade will be based on my assessment of how well you participate in 
               class. Some of this assessment will be in the form of in-class assignments and projects. Most 
               in-class activities will consist of class activities taken from your textbook which may or may 
               not need to be turned in. Some of your participation grade will also come from my informal 
               observations of what you do in class. If you are frequently not paying attention, not 
               engaging in class materials, doing homework in class, or frequently disrupting the class, 
               your participation grade will be affected. 
               Attendance will contribute to your participation grade. Each day, you can receive a 
               maximum of 2 points for attendance. If you are in class and on time, you will get the full 2 
               points. If you are tardy, you will get 1 point. Unexcused absences will result in getting 0 
               points for the day you are absent. If your absence is excused, you will get the full 2 points. 
               Integral Mastery Test  
               The integral mastery test is given to test for proficiency of basic mechanical skills of 
               differentiation. The test is pass/fail and you must score an 80% or better on the test to pass. 
               Everyone who passes receives the full 100% of the course points for this assignment 
               and all who fail to pass receive zero points. You will have a maximum of 4 attempts to 
               pass the test. The first attempt will be given during a class period. Any attempts beyond the 
               first will take place outside of class time during office hours. 
               Final Grades 
               Final grades will be assessed as follows: 
                93-100%      A           73-76%         C 
                90-92%       A-          70-72%         C- 
                87-89%       B+          67-69%         D+ 
                83-86%       B           63-66%         D 
                80-82%       B           60-62%         D- 
                 77-79%      C+          Below 60%  F 
               Please do not come to me after the final exam asking to raise your grade. Unless there has 
               been some sort of grading error, I will not raise your grade. There is no extra credit 
               available. The time to get your grade to a passing level is during the semester, not after.
