Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to provide students a working knowledge of basic operations in Calculus, including differentiation and integration of simple functions. At the end of the course the student should be able to use these techniques to graph functions and solve financial problems involving maximization/minimization, growth, and rates of change. Evaluation of the student's mastery of these concepts will be done through written exams.

·         Attendance:

It is expected that students attend all classes. Lectures do not always follow the text. Important announcements may be made in class. Students are responsible for being aware of all that goes on in class.

If a student misses more than 25% of class time, university policy allows the instructor to refuse to give the student the final exam.

·         Help is Available:

The math department maintains "Help Rooms" for students taking various math courses. They are staffed with the graduate student and adjunct instructors for these courses. Students in Math 220 can get assistance in the LN-2408A Help Room. The room is open roughly from 10:00-5:00 Monday through Friday. The exact hours are posted on the door.

The Discovery Center offers help for academic questions. Tutoring is available through the center. Check their web page for more information, including times and locations: Discovery Center

·         Academic Honesty:

Incidents of academic dishonesty will be dealt with severely. There is precedent for giving an "F" for the course to a student who attempts to advance his/her grade illegally. Dishonesty includes, but is not limited to: copying another student's work, LETTING someone copy your work, lying to or intentionally misleading an instructor, signing someone else's name to a document.

·         Calculators and Other Electronic Devices:

Calculators will not be allowed in any quiz or test.

Students may not access any electronic devices during a quiz or test. Doing so will constitute cheating regardless of the actual action or intent.
