Catalog Description:
This course is the first in a three semester sequence of
analytic geometry and calculus. Topics include: real numbers, lines,
circles, conics, functions, limits, derivative and antiderivative with
applications, transcendental functions, and the definite integral with
applications.
Expected learning outcomes and related competencies:
Upon completion of this course the student should have demonstrated
proficiency in the following:
1.
Demonstrate knowledge of
Coordinates, Graphs, and Lines.
2.
Demonstrate knowledge of Functions and Limits.
3.
Demonstrate knowledge of Differentiation.
4.
Demonstrate knowledge of Applications of the Definite Integral.
5. Demonstrate knowledge of Integration.
6.
Demonstrate knowledge of Applications of the Definite Integral.
7.
Demonstrate knowledge of Logarithmic and Exponential Functions.
Homework Requirements: All homework should be done before the next class
period. The announced quizzes will be similar to the assigned problems. The unannounced
quizzes will be the homework problems from previous assignments. You may use your homework
notebooks but not your book during the homework quizzes. Label problems
accurately.
Make-up tests: You are encouraged to take an exam early if you know
you will miss it. The final exam will count twice. If you do not miss an exam,
the final will replace your lowest test score. If you miss an exam, the final
will replace your zero. If you score worse on the final exam, then all other
tests will count and the final will only count once.
Make-up quizzes: Quizzes and Projects can not be made up or taken
early.
This includes
homework quizzes. One quiz (lowest percentage) may be dropped.
Cheating: If you are caught cheating before the withdrawal date, you will
be withdrawn from the course with a W. If you are caught cheating after the
withdrawal date, you will receive an F for the final class grade.
Calculator: You will need at least a scientific calculator. You
may use a graphing calculator if you want, but you must show all or your
work. You may not store any information in the graphing calculator (see
cheating above). A random check may occur during exams to check calculator
memory.
IVCC policy: Students should follow the student handbook. "Students are expected to attend all classes
regularly. If absence is unavoidable, it is the student's responsibility to explain the
absence to his instructor and arrange to complete any work missed."
Withdrawal policy: Last day to withdraw is July 5, 2006. To request
a withdraw from
this class, the student must visit my office E-303 and fill out the
withdrawal form with a signature. In my absence, the student must contact the Dean
of English, Mathematics, and Education (Marianne Dzik). I will only withdraw a student if he or she has signed the
withdraw form or
has a 0% at midterm. All withdrawals earn a grade of
"W" which does not affect the GPA but deletes the course credit(s) for the
involved course(s). Withdrawal from a course can affect financial aid.
Students who receive financial aid should see an advisor in the Financial Aid
Office before withdrawing from a course.
Disability: If you need support or assistance because of a disability,
you may be eligible for academic accommodations through the Special Populations
office B-204, phone 224-0284.
