Text:  		Edwards and Penney's Calculus, 4th edition.


Course Description:   
		This course is for the students to learn about derivatives and 
		their applications. We plan to cover chapters 2, 3, and 4 as well 
		as sections 5.1, 5.2, and 8.3.  Topics include Limits and 
		Continuity, Differentiation, Mean Value Theorem for Derivatives, 
		Application of Differentiation, and Anti-derivatives.

Calculus Lab Corequisite:	
		Note that MATH 2200L is a corequisite for this class.  If you
		are enrolled in this class, you must also be enrolled in a 
		Calculus Lab class.  Be mindful that if you drop that Calculus
		Lab class, then you must drop this lecture class as well.

Grading Policy: 
		There will be four one hour tests and one cumulative final.  
		Homework will be taken up regularly.  See the calendar for due
		dates.  Announced quizzes will also be given on a regular basis.  

		The grading scale will break down as follows:
			Test Average				50/40%
			Homework				15%
			Quizzes					10%
			Class Participation			05%
			
			Final					20/30%

		As usual, a cumulative grade of 90-100 is an A, 80-89 is a B,
		70-79 is a C, 60-69 is a D, and 0-59 is an F.

Tests:  	
		No calculators will be allowed during any of the tests.  All 
		tests will be held in class.  More information will be given 
		about tests as we near the first hour exam.  There will be four
		tests and a cumulative final.  The four tests will be averaged 
		together and will count for 50% of your grade.  The final will 
		count for 20%.  However, if your final is higher than your test
		average, it will count for 30% and test average will count 40%.

Homework:
		Homework will be assigned regularly.  See the appended calendar
		for due dates.  Grading for homework will be as follows:
			Attempt					50%
			Accuracy				50%
		As always, show sufficient scratch work.  This is so that I can 
		see your thought process and thus I know where you may be going 
		wrong in the material.  Also, feel free to collaborate with 
		others on homework, but please make sure that the work you turn 
		in is your own work.  Late homework will be accepted with a 
		penalty of 10% per day [not per class period] late.  We will 
		have seven homework grades during the semester, and your two 
		lowest homework grades will be dropped.  Homework is due at the
		beginning of class the day it is due.

Quizzes:
		Announced quizzes will be given at the beginning of the period, 
		so be punctual during quiz dates.  No calculators are allowed 
		during quizzes.  Make sure you attend the day of the quiz.  You 
		cannot make up a quiz under any circumstances.  If you have to 
		miss a quiz, see me before the quiz day and you may take it 
		earlier than everyone else.  We will have seven quizzes, and the 
		lowest two quiz grades will be dropped.  See the appended 
		calendar for the quiz dates.

Academic Calendar:  	
		A semester calendar has been appended with important dates, 
		including test dates and semester holidays.  

Attendance:  	
		It is your responsibility to attend this class regularly and to 
		attempt the assigned homework problems.  However, I will not be 
		taking formal attendance for the class after the first two weeks.  
		Note, however, that you cannot make up the announced quizzes, so 
		attendance is required for that day if you want proper credit for 
		that quiz.  Note also the fact that I give a class participation 
		grade.  Obviously, you cannot participate if you aren’t present.

Classroom Etiquette:  
		Students must arrive to class on time and should stay until class 
		is dismissed.  Cell phones, etc. should be turned off or on silent 
		mode.  If you must take a call, step outside in a mannerly fashion 
		to do so.

Learning Disabilities:
		Please speak to me privately if this pertains to you.  Make sure you 
		supply the necessary paperwork from the Learning Disabilities Center.


Academic Honesty:  
		All students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards 
		of honesty and integrity in every phase of their academic careers. 
		The penalties for academic dishonesty are severe and ignorance is 
		not an acceptable defense. Students should pay particular attention 
		to sections 5 and 7 of the academic honesty statement at  
		http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/culture_honesty.htm
