Text: Calculus, Seventh Edition, Early Transcendentals by James Stewart
 
Note:   The text is strongly suggested but not required for the course. The listed edition of the text is strongly suggested but not required for the course. If you wish to take the course without the text or with a different edition of the text, you do so at your own risk.

E-mail Policy:

A great deal of information is given here in the Syllabus - the webpage you are on - and here in the FAQ: FAQ.php. Read both of these. The instuctor most likely will not answer any e-mails if they ask a question answered on either the Syllabus or the FAQ.

If you do e-mail the instructor, please include your UT EID, and the unique number of the section you are in.

Course Grade:

Grades will be assigned using the +/- system. Your grade will be determined based on
  1. IN-CLASS EVALUATION (1%)

    There will be a pre-test given in class on the first day of class and a post-test given in class on the last day of class. Completion of these two tests is worth 1% of your grade. You are graded based on completion, not the score you actually make on these tests.

  2. HOMEWORK (9%)

    Homework will be completed online using the UT homework server, Quest. All solutions and grades will be returned via Quest. The three lowest homework scores from each assignment type (pre-class, and weekly) will be dropped. No late homework will be accepted. Quest can be accessed here: quest.cns.utexas.edu.

    The assignment types are as follows:

    • Pre-class assignments (4%): These are short assignments that you will complete before coming to lecture. They are the learning modules that you will find on Quest. The pre-class learning module for a section will be due at 3 AM of the day we start that section in class.
    • Weekly assignments (5%): Each week you will have a Quest assignment due at 3 AM on Tuesday. These dates are listed in the lecture schedule.

  3. MIDTERMS (60%)

    Three Midterm Exams will be held in a different location and at a different time from the regular lecture.

    Exam 1 Tuesday, Oct. 1, 7:00-9:00 PMBEL 328
