Applied Calculus
Syllabus for Spring 2020
Semi-Asynchronous Online
Instructor: Dr. Eric Errthum Winona Email Username: eerrthum Office Hours: See D2L for more info. You can always email me with questions.
Grading: Homework
(scaled as needed) 150 points------- 27.27%
Quizzes (6 @ 20
points, drop lowest) 100 points------- 18.18%
Midterms (3 @ 100
points) 300 points------- 54.55%
-------
550
points total
Grades: A = 90% (495 pts), B = 80% (440 pts), C = 70% (385 pts), D = 60% (330 pts). There will be no curving of individual assessments.
Technology: Graphing calculators are required, preferably a Texas Instrument TI-89 or TI-92. Other TIs will not be sufficient. Some models of Casio and other brands might be sufficient, check with the instructor. The calculator should have a Computer Algebra System (CAS), i.e. be able to do symbolic derivatives and integrals. The Math department will loan calculators for a semester. Contact the secretary in Gildemeister 322 to do so ASAP since she frequently runs out. During exams you will be allowed to use calculators. You MAY NOT use your cell phone, laptop, ipad, or other device capable of electronic communication in place of a calculator.
Notes/Slides: The slides used in class are available on D2L Brightspace. It is your responsibility (and is strongly recommended) to print them off and bring them to class for note-taking purposes.
Homework: Homework will be assigned daily even if it is not specifically announced in class. Questions on the quizzes and exams will be based on assigned homework and the in-class, lecture examples. All homework problems will be done through the WileyPLUS webpage for this course. Visit http://www.wileyplus.com/class/738709. Access codes can be purchased on-line with a credit card or through the WSU bookstore. Homework for a section is due either on the following Monday or the day of the quiz (whichever comes first, see schedule below). All assignments are due on Mondays at Noon or on quiz days at 8:00am. Some tips on doing online homework effectively can be found below. If you have any problems getting started with WileyPLUS or doing any of the homework assignments, please contact the instructor.
Quizzes: We will have 6 short (approx. 25-minute) quizzes. Each quiz will count for 20 points and the lowest quiz will be dropped from your grade.
Exams: There will be three in-class exams. Exam dates are tentative
until officially announced in class. The final exam (Exam 3) is tentatively
scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, 10:30am 12:30pm.
Desire2Learn: Many of the course videos and materials can be found on D2L including approximate grades. If at any point during the semester you would like to know your exact grade, please email the instructor.
Late/Missed Work: Late homework or missed quizzes will result in a score of zero. Make-up quizzes and make-up exams before the time of the normal quiz or exam will be given at the discretion of the instructor. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to obtain notes and assignments from fellow students. If you have an unavoidable absence, please inform the instructor beforehand.
Academic Dishonesty: Any type of academic dishonesty (cheating, copying, using a solutions manual to do homework, etc.) will result in failure and will be reported to school authorities. If you are having trouble with an assignment, please see the instructor first.
Note: This syllabus is subject to change if deemed necessary by the instructor.
