"Subdivide-Approximate-Accumulate-Refine" will be the mantra for this course. With the connection between differential and integral calculus illuminated by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (parts 1 & 2), our focus will be developing techniques for "going backwards", i.e. integration, and its applications. To understand difficult questions, we will repeatedly break our problems into small pieces and use Riemann sums to approximate the solution. As the number of pieces in our approximation grows without bound, the Riemann sum becomes a definite integral and all the techniques that we are developing will come into play. As you proceed through this course, appreciate the interplay of the discrete approximations (the Riemann sums) and the continuous interpretations (the integral) in each of its different settings.

This course require almost weekly  homework quizzes and  content quizzes, 2 group consulting projects, 2 hour tests, and one final. Additionally, you must pass a Gateway Exam on differentiation acheiving a score of at least 85%. You will be given multiple opportunities to complete the gateway (the first one in class and the rest outside of classtime). While the gateway score will not affect your assigned grade in this course, failure to pass the gateway will decrease your final grade by 0.5 (Example: A 3.2 becomes a 2.7 if you neglect this aspect of the course.)

Your grade will be determined as follows:

Homework quizzes will be given in class on Wednesdays. You will be given a problem number from the suggested HW assignment and be asked to write the problem and solution---using only your homework solutions. A content quiz will be given on Mondays.  Your three lowest quiz grades (homework or content) will be dropped, consequently there are no make-up quizzes.

Consulting Projects. These groups writing projects will give you the opportunity to explore calculus examples in an applied context. The purpose is twofold---to improve communication of mathematics, to understand mathematics must be collaborative, and see mathematics in action. Consulting Projects are due by 11:59 p.m. on May 2 (Project 1) and June 2(Project 2). More details to follow.

Midterm Exams are 50 minutes in length and are scheduled for the first half of class on Wednesday, April 23 and Wednesday, May 21.

The Final Exam is cumulative and scheduled for Monday, June 9.

Inclement Weather

Call (253) 383-INFO to determine whether campus operations have been suspended. If not, but driving conditions remain problematic, call the professor's office number. This number should provide information on whether a particular class will be held or not, and/or the status of pending assignments. If the first two numbers have been contacted and the student is still unable to determine whether a class(es) will be held, or the student has a part-time instructor who does not have an office phone or contact number, call the program office number for updated information.

Escort Service

Safety Escorts are available Monday - Thursday 5:00pm - 10:30pm. They can be reached either through the duty officer or by dialing #300 from a campus phone.

In case of a fire alarm

Take your valuables and leave the building. Plan to return to class once the alarm has stopped. Do not return until you have received an all-clear from somebody "official," the web or email.

In case of an earthquake

DROP, COVER, and HOLD. Once the shaking stops, take your valuables and leave the building. Do not plan to return for the rest of the day. Do not return to the building until you have received an all-clear from somebody "official," the web or email.

Incomplete

http://www.washington.edu/students/gencat/front/Grading_Sys.html#I

An Incomplete is given only when the student has been in attendance and has done satisfactory work until within two weeks of the end of the quarter and has furnished proof satisfactory to the instructor that the work cannot be completed because of illness or other circumstances beyond the student's control. A written statement of the reason for the giving of the Incomplete, listing the work which the student will need to do to remove it, must be filed by the instructor with the head of the department or the dean of the college in which the course is given.

Plagiarism

A major part of your experience in the class will be reading, synthesizing, and using the knowledge and ideas of others. It is the responsibility of the faculty to help you in this process and to be certain you learn to credit the work of others upon which you draw. To plagiarize is to appropriate and to pass off, as one's own ideas, writing or works of another. Plagiarism is no less of a misconduct violation than vandalism or assault. Ignorance of proper documentation procedures is the usual cause of plagiarism. This ignorance does not excuse the act. Students are responsible for learning how and when to document and attribute resources used in preparing a written or oral presentation.
