Grading: •	 Midterms: There are three Midterm Exams scheduled for the evenings (6:00 pm – 7:30 pm) of September 17, October 8, and November 5 (Thursdays). •	 Final Exam: There will be a common Final Exam on all material covered in the course. This exam is scheduled for Monday, November 23, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm. •	 Homework: There will be frequent homework assignments with a mix of online and written assignments. More information is below. •	 Quizzes: There will be regular quizzes based on assigned homework and examples worked in class. There will be no make-ups for missed quizzes. The lowest quiz score will be dropped. Quizzes will be announced at least two class periods prior to a scheduled quiz. M 171 / Fall Semester 2020	 Syllabus / page 3 •	 Class Participation: Class participation points will be given for attendance and/or com­pleting worksheets. Assessment:	 20% Homework 10% Quizzes 36% Three Midterm Exams (12% each) 24% Comprehensive Final Exam 10% Participation Grade Scale: ≥ 93% 90% 87% 83% 80% 75% 70% 65% 62% 58% 55% < 55% A A− B+ B B− C+ C C− D+ D D− F Make-ups: Make-ups for tests will be given under special and extenuating circumstances such as a family emergency or illness, provided that documentation (from the Health Service or Doctor) is furnished by the student. It is your responsibility to notify the course coordinator as soon as you know that you will miss any test and to make sure that a make-up is scheduled: please send an email so that it will be convenient to get back to you in order to schedule a make-up. Early final exams will not be given. Homework: Working hard on the homework is how you will succeed in this course, so please take the homework seriously. It is okay to work together with classmates on homework assignments, but you must write up your own solutions in your own words. There will be two components to your homework: 1. Online homework given through WeBWorK. To access this homework, go to the webpage https://lennes.math.umt.edu/webwork2/171-Calculus-I Stroethoff/ to bring up a login win­dow. As username use your last name (lowercase); your initial password is the last 6 digits of your student ID (with no dashes). Please change your password after logging in the first time by clicking “Password/Email” from WeBWorK’s Main Menu. 2. Written homework will be collected regularly.	 With regard to the write-up of your written homework the following: •	 Answers alone do not suffice. It is important you show your work and provide explana­tions for your answers. •	 It should be legible. Please write clearly. If the grader cannot read it, you will not get credit for it. •	 Homework will need to be uploaded to https://www.gradescope.com/. Information about this will be provided with the first written homework assignment. Late homework will not be accepted. The two lowest homework scores will be dropped. A list of all assigned homework will be posted on the Moodle page for this class. Remote Testing: The exams and (some of) the quizzes will be given remotely, using proctoring software that has not yet been determined. While specific hardware and software requirements are not yet known, the remote tests will require use of a webcam. Information will be provided once the university chooses a proctoring system. If you do not have access to a computer with webcam, the Mansfield Library has laptops that come with webcams, as well as webcams to check out. Math Learning Center: Free tutoring is available in the Math Learning Center (MLC) located in room Math 011 in the basement of the Math Building. No appointment is needed, but capacity is limited to meet physical distance requirements. Note that face masks are required to use the MLC. M 171 / Fall Semester 2020 Syllabus / page 4 MLC Hours For more information (including online “drop-in” via Monday – Thursday 10 am – 5 pm Zoom Sunday-Thursday 6-8pm, and by appointment) Friday 10 am – 1 pm see https://www.umt.edu/MLC. Some Important Dates: Aug 19 (Wednesday): First day Fall Semester instruction Sep 7 (Monday): Labor Day: No Class Sep 17 (Thursday): Midterm Exam 1, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm. Oct 8 (Thursday): Midterm Exam 2, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm. Oct 21 (Wednesday): Last day to drop or change grading option from letter grade to Credit/No Credit or vice versa using paper form. After this date a student is allowed to make these changes only by petition. Nov 5 (Thursday): Midterm Exam 3, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm. Nov 18 (Wednesday): Last day Fall Semester instruction; last day to drop by petition Nov 23 (Monday): Final Exam, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm. Petitions for Late Drops and Late Change of Grading Option: After October 21 until November 18, you can petition to drop the course or to change the grading option (though not to Audit). Note that not all petitions are approved, and that documented justification is required. Examples of documented circumstances that may merit approval are: accident or illness, family emergency, or other circumstances beyond the student’s control. The only acceptable reasons for a late change of grading option are the ones listed above, and the following reasons are not considered sufficient for approval: protecting grade point average (GPA), forgetting to turn in a change slip, or changes needed to retain financial aid or eligibility to engage in sports. Study Advise: (i) Read through the material to be covered in the lecture before coming to class. This will be very helpful for taking notes in class and you will get more out of the lecture. The course will move rapidly. Daily reading in the textbook with paper and pencil in hand to verify the calculations (math books are not read as novels!) and doing all assigned problems will go a long way towards success in this course. You should plan to spend 2 hours outside of class for each hour in class (and more if you have missed a class!). (ii) Do not equate understanding what the instructor does in class with being able to work (or solve) a problem yourself. When a problem or concept is explained in class you may understand this, but that does not imply that you can do a similar problem. You must work out the homework problems from beginning to end (without any help, see (iii)). The best way to learn mathematics is to do, to ask, and to do again. (iii) Before starting your homework go over the concepts and examples from class and from the textbook. Memorize the formulas, algorithms, definitions, notations, etc. Then work through a few problems which have answers in the back of the book. Do the rest of your homework without using the book or your class notes. Honesty: All students must practice academic honesty. Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the course instructor and/or a disciplinary sanction by the University. All students need to be familiar with the Student Conduct Code. The Code is available for review online at http://www.umt.edu/student-affairs/dean-of-students/default.php. Accommodation: The University of Montana assures equal access to instruction through collab­oration between students with disabilities, instructors and Disability Services for Students (DSS). If you have a disability that adversely affects your academic performance, and you have not already registered with DSS, please contact DSS in Lommassen Center 154 (Phone: 243-2243). We will work with you and DSS to provide an appropriate accommodation.
