calculus in 3-dimensions. Specifically, we will cover chapters 10 through 12 in the textbook.
Prerequisite: MATH 1242 (calculus II) with a grade of C or above.
Credit Hours: 3

General Information and Grade Distribution:
All asignments and class handouts can be found on the class’s website. I expect every student to
attend each class and will take attendance daily. You must contact me ahead of time to arrange
for makeup work. Unless otherwise specified, calculators will not be allowed for either quizzes or
tests.

each test will be held during the class prior to the test. Each test is closed book, closed notes, no
calculator unless specifically indicated otherwise. Extra credit opportunities will be available on
the in-class tests. No makeup exams will be given without a valid reason.

unless otherwise stated). These quizzes will cover the main topic(s) discussed in the previous lecture
and will be designed to be completed within 5-10 minutes.

Homework: Working calculus questions is essential to learning the concepts covered in this
course. Homework will be assigned from each section of the textbook covered and will be due
Tuesdays and Fridays. See the class website for specific due dates as well as the homework sets.
All homework questions are taked from the course textbook.
Homework Format and Late Homework:
• General Notes
– Your name needs to be on each homework set submitted.
– If an assignment has multiple sheets of paper, these pages must be stapled together. Do
not staple multiple assignments together.
– Each assignment must be submitted on separate pieces of paper. Multiple assign-
ments handed in on the same piece of paper will not be graded.
– All work and answers need to be clearly written. Illegible papers will not be graded.
• Anytime you work homework questions on your own sheet of paper the entire question
needs to be copied out. Then show your work and give your answer.
• Late Homework
– A 20% late penalty will be assessed to any assignment submitted after the due date.
– Latehomeworkwillonlybeacceptedupuntiltheanswersarepostedontheclasswebsite.
I do not guarentee to grade late work.
• Electronic Submissions will not be accepted without prior arrangement (and permission).
Questions and Classroom Behavior: Feelfree to bring any questions to class. If there is not
time to go over all questions during class, feel free to ask me after class, come by my office, email
me, or call me. Be courteous to your fellow classmates. This includes silencing your cell phone
before class starts.
Special Accommodations: If you plan to seek special accommodations (ie: extended time
through the Office of Disability Services or accommodations for religious observances), be sure to
contact the appropriate campus department and follow their instructions for obtaining accommoda-
tions, including dealing with all related paperwork. All paperwork and requests for accommodations
for a test need to be completed at least one week before the date of that test.

Academic Integrity Policy Summary:
While I encourage you to use any and all resources at your disposal to complete the homework
assignments, I expect that for tests and quizzes your work is entirely your own and that you
have not used any unauthorized materials.
Definition of Cheating
Intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, notes, study aids
or other devices in any academic exercise. This definition includes unauthorized communication
of information during an academic exercise.
Common Examples of Cheating
Copying from another student’s paper or receiving unauthorized assistance during a quiz, test
or examination; using books, notes (e.g., cheat sheets or note cards) or other devices (e.g.,
calculators or cell phones) when these are not authorized; procuring without authorization tests
or examinations before the scheduled exercise.
Unauthorized/Excessive Assistance
The student may not give or get any unauthorized or excessive assistance in the preparation of
any work.
Complicity in Academic Dishonestly
Intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another to commit an act of academic
dishonesty.
Common Examples of Complicity
Knowingly allowing another to copy from one’s paper during an examination or test; sharing
calculators during an exam; knowingly distributing test questions or substantive information
about the material to be tested before the scheduled exercise; or signing a false name on an
academic exercise.
Consequences
If I find a student has cheated or has intentionally aided a classmate in cheating, that student will
receive a zero on the test or quiz. If I find a student has cheated for a second time, that student
will receive a zero for the course. It is your responsibility to know the academic integrity code
and our class policy on cheating. If you have questions about a situation or how the policies
apply to this class, feel free to ask me.
These definitions and examples were taken and slightly adopted from University Policy Statement
#105: the Code of Student Academic Integrity, section III (http://www.legal.uncc.edu/policies/ps-
105.html#III).
