Syllabus
Class meets MTWR 10:00 am - 12:00 pm in Herak 123. In accordance with Gonzaga's attendance policy
you should not miss more than 4 meetings of this course.
We will be using the book Essential Calculus, Second Edition by James Stewart.
Grades will be assigned based on the following:
| Homework | 10% |
| Quizzes | 20% |
| Classwork | 10% |
| Exams | 60% |
• Homework will be assigned daily. Your homework grade will be based only on completion.
• Quizzes will be held in class most days. These will be check points where you can assess your progress.
The quizzes will include problems directly from the homework and problems similar to homework problems.
• Classwork : We will run our classroom as an ongoing discussion where we develop together the material
in our text. As such, you're expected to participate thoughtfully in class every day. Your classwork will be graded
in part on participation. You will also occasionally have worksheets or other classwork that you will be expected to
turn in at the end of class. Some classwork will be individual, and some will be group work.
• Exams : We will have exams each week on Thursdays. They will approximately follow the Chapters covered
in our class (Chapters 1-5), with the exception of Chapter 2, which will be split into two exams. Each exam will be weighted
equally, and there will be no cumulative final.
Calculator Policy
Calculators are not allowed on all quizzes and exams.
Additional Help
The math lab is not open during the summer. You are encouraged to come to office hours regularly and ask questions after class. If you are interested in
further assistance, please let me know and I can help put you in touch with a private tutor.
Students with Disabilities
Appropriate accommodations can be made for students with a documented disability. Please notify me and make arrangements with
the DREAM office (Foley 209, or ext. 4134)
Academic Integrity
While collaboration and good use of resources are important for the learning process, you are expected to complete all your
work on your own. You may talk with other people about how to solve homework problems, but your write-up should be done individually.
Quizzes and tests are strictly your own work and any evidence of sources outside your own brain will be considered cheating.
Sharing your work inappropriately with another student is also considered cheating.
Any cases of cheating will be dealt with seriously. You will be asked to meet with me and the math department chair. Severe cases may result in failure of the course
and will be reported to the Dean.
Please refer to the student handbook for a description of the University's Academic Honesty policy.
