Calculators are not required and are not allowed on the quizzes or exams.
Maple is a powerful computer algebra system that can perform the most
complicated calculations and draw spectacular graphics at the touch of the
button. Knowledge of Maple will help you in understanding the material
in calculus. You must complete one Maple project worth 50 pts. No late projects
will be graded. All Maple projects must be submitted through Sakai asssignment tool.
I highly recommend that you attend every class that you can possibly attend.
Although I feel that it is essential for you to attend class, no direct
punishment will be assessed to your final grade if you choose not to attend.
Makeup exams will only be given to students with an acceptable excuse. The only
acceptable excuses, religious holy day, family emergency, school sponsored
event, job interviews, or sickness. All absences require documentation. For
example, sickness, a doctor's excuse. You must notify me of any religious holy
days within the first 2 weeks of the semester. You must let me know before the
exam that you will not be able to take the exam in order to be given a makeup
exam. All other absences will be given a zero for that exam. No exceptions!
Makeup exams will be given at a time that is convenient for both you and me.
Research has shown that the learning process is greatly enhanced when students
help each other. On the other hand, I do not want you to find the best student
in the class and simply copy off of him/her. If you are having trouble, please
don't hesitate to come and see me right away. If you are having trouble and
don't take care of it, your problems will only get worse. I can assure you of
this.
