CALCULUS (6th edition), Anton
You should understand all the concepts and ideas from Chapters 1-7
of Anton's book. We will cover Chapters 8-11. We may also cover additional
topics if time permits. |
| TESTS: |
There will be exams on Thursday, February
10, Thursday, March 2, and Thursday, April 20. Each will
count 100 points towards your final grade. |
| FINAL: |
The final is Monday, May 8 at 11:00-1:00.
It counts 200 points towards your final grade. |
| QUIZZES: |
There will be one quiz every Thursday
in class except the weeks when there is a test and this week. You will
count the highest scores (out of 12). Each will count 10 points towards
your final grade. |
| HOMEWORK: |
Homework will be assigned each class and collected
the following class. Each assignment is worth 2 points. You will lose 1
point for ech day it is late. You may count a maximum of 100 points towards
your final grade. In addition, every Thursday in class (except this week)
you are to bring a critique of the previous weeks classes. This should
be at least one paragraph and no longer than one page. Comment on the previous
week's lectures, homework assignments and quizzes and give me some idea
how you felt about the difficulty and the amount of time you spent on all
of that. |
| PROJECTS: |
There will be 4 projects assigned
during the semester. Each is worth 25 points. You will be able to work
in groups of up to three people on these assignments. I will give you more
details when I make the first assignment. |
| CLASS: |
You are expected to attend class on a regular
basis. Occasionally, in class, you will be given time to work on problems.
During these times, you can work with others or by yourself but you must
be working on the problems assigned and not work from other classes, homework
or talking!! Occasionally, points will be awarded for doing work on the
board based on these problems. These points will count towards your homework
score. When you are assigned to work in a group, you must be in class during
those periods and take part in the group work. If you do not, you will
have one homework assignment deducted from your homework score. |
| CALCULATORS: |
You are required to have a graphing calculator.
I will be using a TI-83, but TI-85 and TI-86 are also acceptable. You cannot
have a calculator with a CAS on it such as the TI-89 or TI-92. |

following formula:
