Class meets MTWR 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm in Herak 244. In accordance with Gonzaga's attendance policy
you should not miss more than 4 meetings of this course.
We will be using the book Calculus, Early Transcendentals, Second Edition by Briggs, Cochran, Gillett.
Grades will be assigned based on the following:
Homework and Participation
20%
Quizzes
20%
Exams
60%
• Homework will be assigned daily (see the suggested problems list). 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 usually have exams on Thursdays. Tentative dates are May 24, June 7, June 21, and June 28. They will approximately follow the Chapters covered
in our class (Chapters 2-5). 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
Please take advantage of the math department's free tutoring center in Herak 224. Check the schedule for times and
tutor schedules. You are also encouraged to come to office hours regularly and ask questions after class.
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.
A NOTE ON HARASSMENT, DISCRIMINATION AND SEXUAL MISCONDUCT:
Consistent with its mission, Gonzaga seeks to assure all community members learn and work in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Title VII, Title IX and Gonzaga’s policy prohibit harassment, discrimination and sexual misconduct. Gonzaga encourages anyone
experiencing harassment, discrimination or sexual misconduct to talk to someone from the Campus and Local Resources list about
what happened so they can get the support they need and Gonzaga can respond appropriately. There are both confidential and
non-confidential resources and reporting options available to you. Gonzaga is legally obligated to respond to reports of sexual
misconduct, and therefore we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of a report, unless made to a confidential resource. Responses
may vary from support services to formal investigations. As a faculty member, I am required to report incidents of sexual misconduct
and thus cannot guarantee confidentiality. I must provide our Title IX coordinator with relevant details such as the names of those
involved in the incident. For more information about policies and resources or reporting options, please visit the following
websites: Equal Opportunity
and Title IX
NOTICE TO STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES/MEDICAL CONDITIONS:
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for
persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment
that provides reasonable accommodation for their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability/medical condition requiring an accommodation,
please call or visit the Disability Access office (room 209 Foley Library, 509-313-4134).
CLASS ATTENDANCE:
I follow strictly the university's standard policy on absences: the maximum allowable absence is two class hours (100 minutes) for each class credit.
For a three-credit class meeting three times a week, the maximum number of absences allowed is six. For a three-credit class meeting twice a week,
the maximum number of absences allowed is four. The grade for excessive absences is "V", which has the same effect as "F" (Fail) and is counted in the
GPA. (See also "Class Attendance Policy" on page 68 of the University's online catalogue)
ACADEMIC HONESTY:
Academic honesty is expected of all Gonzaga University students. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, and theft.
Any student found guilty of academic dishonesty is subject to disciplinary action, which may include, but is not limited to, (1) a failing grade for
the test or assignment in question, (2) a failing grade for the course, or (3) a recommendation for dismissal from the University. (See also "Academic
Honesty" on page 67 of the University's online catalogue)
