Math 135 syllabus (F2002/Scheffer)

Syllabus for Math 135 (Calculus I)

Sections 35-37

Fall 2002

FINAL EXAM LOCATION: SEC 118 , BUSCH CAMPUS

FINAL EXAM TIME: MONDAY, DEC 16, 4-7 PM

  • Lectures meet MTH3 (11:30-12:50) in LSH-A142, Livingston Campus
  • Recitations meet Fridays on Livingston Campus:
    • F1* Be 003 (section 35)
    • F2* Be 003 (section 36)
    • F3* Be 101 (section 37)

  • Text: Applied Calculus, 5th edition, by S.T. Tan, published by Brooks&Cole.
  • This course requires a graphing calculator. Graphing calculators may be used on the final exam and on the midterm exams. However, calculators with QWERTY keypads or symbolic manipulation capabilities may not be used on any exam. This means that the TI-89 and the TI-92 calculators may not be used on any exam.
  • Homework assignments to be turned in at the start of the Friday recitation. There is a longer list of suggested homework problems.
  • There will also be WeBWorKs assignments. These will be due at 3:00 AM Friday morning (before the recitations).
    The first WeBWorK assignment (set #1) will be due Friday, September 13, 2002.
  • In addition, there will be quizzes given in the Friday recitations.
  • The review problems and formula sheet are available at Math 135 Course Material.
  • In sections 35, 36, 37 the student grade will be determined in the following way: The first midterm exam is worth 100 points. The second midterm exam is also worth 100 points. The final exam is worth 200 points. The homework problems due in recitation on Friday are worth 50 points. The WeBWorK assignments are worth 50 points. The quizzes given in recitation are worth 50 points. This gives a maximum possible score of 550 points. After the final exam I will set up a curve that assigns letter grades to this 550 point scale.
