Course Objective
To learn derivatives and how to apply them to solving problems and
sketching graphs.
Class Policies
The
UGA Academic Honesty Policy
will be followed closely.
Four missed classes may result in a
withdrawal with a WF. There will be no make-ups for missed quizzes and
exams.
Homework and Quizzes
HW will be assigned almost every day. We will discuss some of the
problems on the days prior to the quiz days (the last 20-25 minutes of
class) and one-three problems from current HW will be on the quiz. One
lowest quiz score will be dropped, to provide a cushion for sick days,
broken car days, family emergencies etc.
Make-up Policy
No make-up for quizzes. No make up for tests, but, in case of
an excused and officially verified absence, the average of the other
two tests will be counted instead of the missed test.
