Textbook — Calculus (8th ed), by James Stewart, Cengage Learning, 2016, ISBN-13: 9781285740621. You are responsible for doing the correct homework problems, which are in this book. However, if you can obtain these in some other way, you are welcome to use an older edition of the book. 

Attendance — You are expected to attend all classes and participate fully. You are responsible for being aware of any announcements made in class.

Grading — Your grades will be posted regularly on Canvas (http://canvas.ou.edu). It is your responsiblity to monitor your own grades for accuracy. Any mistake should be reported to me right away so it can be remedied. Your final grade will be computed from homework assignments, three midterm exams, and a comprehensive final exam, weighted as follows:

Final letter grades will be given according to the following revised scale:

Homework —Homework will be assigned and due every class period, more or less. Each day I will send students to put solutions on the board. Written solutions will be due (usually) on Fridays by 4pm. You can turn them in during class, or bring them to my office (under the door is fine). Late homework will not be accepted under any circumstances. I will drop your two lowest homework scores.

Each day I will choose around ten people at random to present homework solutions. I will keep track, and this participation will count for 4% of your grade. The remaining 16% of the homework score will be based on the written solutions.

You are allowed to work with each other in small groups. However, you will need to prepare your own solutions, written in your own words.

Your homework must be neat and legible, with your full name written clearly on the top. The pages must be stapled, and all spiral notebook fringes must be removed. Otherwise, the homework will not be accepted.

Exams — There will be three exams during the course, given during the regular lecture time. All exams must be taken at the scheduled times, except in extraordinary circumstances. Please do not arrange travel plans that conflict with these dates.

The final exam will be held in the usual lecture room at the time shown below. University regulations require that it be held at this time.

Calculators — Calculators will not be needed, or allowed, during exams. Otherwise, you are welcome to use them as you see fit when studying for the class or working on homework.

Withdrawl and Incomplete grades — Please review the University's grading regulations:

Religious Holidays — It is the policy of the University to excuse the absences of students that result from religious observances and to provide without penalty for the rescheduling of examinations and additional required class work that may fall on religious holidays. If you plan to observe a religious holiday notify the instructor as soon as possible in order to make appropriate arrangements.
