Textbook: Calculus Early Transcendental Functions: 4th Edition by Larson, Hostetler and Edwards. We will be covering material from Chapters 1-5.  A copy of Study and Solutions Guide is on reserve at the library under Math 140.  This contains the odd numbered problems from the text solved in detail. It may be checked out for up to two hours at a time.

Calculators:   Access to a scientific or graphing calculator is strongly recommended. However, calculators will not be allowed during exams.

 
Homework: Homework assignments will be made about once a week.   Each set will consist of a large list of suggested problems and a small list of problems to be submitted and graded. It is strongly recommended that you do both sets but only hand in the requested problems for grading.  These will be graded like a quiz.  You don't get any credit for just trying the problem. Homework assignments may include Maple labs and group projects. Each assignment will be worth 10 points and your best 10 will count towards your grade.  Homework and labs must be submitted at the beginning of class on the due date.  Late submissions will NOT be accepted.   

Tests: There will be 3 in-class exams worth 80 points each and a comprehensive final worth 160 points.  Test dates will be posted on the course website and announced in class. 

Grading:  Grades will be based on your total out of a possible 500 points (400-exams, 100-homework/labs)
  
A       93-100 %
A-     90-93 %
B+     87-90 %
B       83-87 %
B-     80-83 %
C+     77-80 %
C       70-77 %
D       60-70 %
F          0-60%
 
If your percentage falls on a boundary value,  you will be given the better of the two grades.

Make-up Exams: A Make-up exam will only be given with a documented University-approved excuse. 

Tutoring and Extra Help: There will be math help available at the Math Lab located in Roche Hall. Hours will be announced once they have been determined. For more information on these and free tutoring help, stop by the Learning Resource Center in Room 203 of the library or visit http://pennstatebehrend.psu.edu/academic/lrc/tutor.htm

Dishonesty: Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and typically results in a failing grade for the class. The school's academic integrity code can be found at:  http://www.pserie.psu.edu/faculty/academics/integrity/htm .
