Textbook: Calculus: Early Transcendentals, third edition, by Jon Rogawski and Colin Adams; published by W. H. Freeman and Company; 2015

Subject Material:  We shall cover parts of chapters 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the text, as well as the Math 20B Course Supplement.

Lecture:  Attending the lecture is a fundamental part of the course; you are responsible for material presented in the lecture whether or not it is discussed in the textbook.  You should expect questions on the exams that will test your understanding of concepts discussed in the lecture.

Reading:  Reading the sections of the textbook corresponding to the assigned homework exercises is considered part of the homework assignment; you are responsible for material in the assigned reading whether or not it is discussed in the lecture.  It will be expected that you read the assigned material in advance of each lecture.

Calculus Tutoring Lab:  A tutoring lab for Calculus students will generally be open Monday through Friday, 9:00am - 5:00pm in AP&M B402A;   please see the Calculus Tutoring page and follow the link in the Calculus Tutoring section for a complete listing of dates and times when the tutoring lab is open.  There will usually be at least 2 tutors and/or TAs available to help with homework, calculators, and coursework.   We strongly recommend that you make use of the Calculus Tutoring Lab.

Electronic Computing Devices:  Graphing calculators and computer programs (or online computing websites such as WolframAlpha) can be very helpful when working through your homework.   However, a calculator/computer should be used as an aid in the learning concepts, not just as a means of computation.   You should use these devices when working on math problems at home, but always keep in mind that you will not be allowed access to any electronic computing devices during exams.   Of course, this also means that you will not be asked to solve problems on exams that require the aid of an electronic computing device.

• Help with using TI graphing calculators is available in the Calculus Tutoring Lab.
• The use of electronic devices will not be permitted during exams.

Homework:  Graded homework will be assigned using WebAssign and will be accessible via TritonEd.  Additional textbook homework exercises are posted on the course textbook homework page with the same due date as the WebAssign homework.  The textbook homework exercises will not be collected and will not be graded; however, if you seek help from the instructor or TAs, they will often do these problems.

• Online homework will be done through WebAssign via TritonEd.
• No homework assignment scores will be dropped at the end of the quarter.

Midterm Exams:  There will be two midterm exams given during the quarter.   The midterm exams will be given during the regular lecture hour (9:00am - 9:50am).   The dates of the exams are recorded in the course calendar.   You may bring one 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten sheet of notes with you to each midterm exam.   No calculators (or other devices) will be allowed during the midterm exams.  There will be no makeup exams.

Final Examination:  The final examination will be held at the date and time stated in the course calendar and schedule of classes.

• It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not have a schedule conflict involving the final examination; you should not enroll in this class if you cannot take the final examination at its scheduled time.
• You may bring one 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten sheet of notes with you to the final examination; no other notes (or books) will be allowed.
• No calculators (or other devices) will be allowed during the final examination.

Regrade Policy:  Your exams will be graded using Gradescope.  You will be able to request a regrade directly from your TA for a specified window of time.  Be sure to make your request within the specified window of time; no regrade requests will be accepted after the deadline.

Administrative Deadline:  It is your responsibility to check that your exam scores and WebAssign homework scores on TritonEd are correct.  Contact your TA before the end of the 10^th week of the quarter to resolve recording errors.

• Questions regarding missing or incorrectly recorded exam scores or WebAssign homework scores will not be considered after the last day of instruction.
• Be sure to check that your exam scores entered in TritonEd are the same as your exam scores published on Gradescope.

Grading: Your course grade will be determined by your cumulative average at the end of the term and will be based on the following scale:

• Note:  Your instructor reserves the right to adjust the above scale to be more generous if warranted by the class's performance.

• 20% WebAssign Homework,  20% Midterm Exam I,  20% Midterm Exam II,  40% Final Exam
• 20% WebAssign Homework,  20% Best Midterm Exam,  60% Final Exam

• Note:  Since there are no makeup exams, if you miss an exam for any reason then your course grade will be computed with the final exam counting 65% of your weighted average.

Academic Dishonesty:  Academic dishonesty is considered a serious offense at UCSD.  Students caught cheating will face an administrative sanction which may include suspension or expulsion from the university.  It is in your best interest to maintain your academic integrity.
