Important Links — Homework — Exam Info and Solutions

Instructor — Max Forester (mf@ou.edu)

Communication — Please do not use the Canvas messaging system to contact me. I typically won't see these messages. Do send me an email if you need to contact me about anything.

Meeting — MWF 1:30-2:20, PHSC 116

Office Hours — Mon, Wed 2:30 - 3:30pm, and by appointment, PHSC 1110

Prerequisites — MATH 2423

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:

Homework	16% + 4%	More details below
Three midterms	50%	Lowest 10%, other two 20% each
Final	30%	Comprehensive

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

A	B	C	D	F
100-85	84-70	69-55	54-40	39-0

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.

Three exams	Wed 9/19, Wed 10/17, and Mon 11/19
Final Exam	Monday 12/10, 8:00-10:00 am

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:

governing the grades of Withdrawl (W) and Incomplete (I). Add/drop deadlines can be found at the university's academic calendar:

Academic honesty — All cases of suspected academic misconduct will be referred to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for prosecution under the University's Academic Misconduct Code. See

for more details on the University's policies concerning academic misconduct.

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.

Disability Services — The University of Oklahoma is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for all students with disabilities. Students with disabilities who require accommodations in this course are requested to speak with me as early in the semester as possible. Students with disabilities must be registered with the Office of Disability Services prior to receiving accommodations in this course. The Office of Disability Services is located in the University Community Center, 730 College Avenue, (405) 325-3852. Check
