Homework

You may by surprised at how much time and effort it takes to be successful in a college Calculus course. I estimate that you will need to read, study and work problems for at least 2 hours per night. You must attempt and subsequently master all homework in order to be successful in this course. Homework will be assigned daily and will be due before the next class. Homework will be completed using MyMathLab or on paper.  To register for MyMathLab, visit http://www.mymathlab.com. Click here for section 1 and here for section 2 registration instructions

Tests

If you are unable to attend a test because of an emergency, you must notify the instructor to make arrangements to take the test.  You have 3 days to make up a test or you will receive a grade of zero for that test. 

 

 

 

Participation and Notes

Participation and notes will be graded based on daily Clicker assessments. Be sure to download the app and be ready to answer questions at the start of class.
 

Final Exam

There will be a cumulative final exam given at the end of the course.   Failure to take the final exam will result in failure of the course.  Final exam schedules for Fall 2018 are posted on the Registrar’s web page.
