Textbook

TEXTBOOK: Thomas' Calculus, Early Transcendentals, by George B. Thomas (as revised by Hass, Heil, Bogacki, Weir), 15th Edition, Pearson.

Learning Outcomes

A student who successfully completes Calculus II (Math 142) should continue to: Develop as an independent learner with the ability to approach problems from a conceptual point of view; Utilize more than one idea in a single problem, and to apply appropriate calculus skills to problems in context; Master concepts and gain skills needed to solve problems related to techniques of integrations, sequences and series, Taylor polynomials and series, parametric and polar coordinate curves.

The deadline to drop the course without a grade of "WF" being recorded is November 8, 2023 (Wednesday).

Reading

Reading the textbook in advance of the lecture is strongly encouraged. Benefits of this preparation include obtaining a familiarity with the terminology and concepts that will be encountered (so you can distinguish major points from side issues), being able to formulate questions about the parts of the presentation that you do not understand, and having a chance to review the skills and techniques that will be needed to apply the new concepts.

Assessment and Grading Policy

Homework will be assigned on a daily basis and should be done before the next class. Although not collected, these homework assignments are an essential part of the course for learning and understanding the course material. They should be thought of as required for success in the course. Course grades will be determined from student performance on exams, quizzes, computer labs and gateway tests. There will be weekly 10-15 minute quizzes and three exams: two midterm exams and a final exam. The two lowest quiz scores will be dropped. The two midterm exams, which are indicated on the syllabus above, will be given during the hour normally used for lecture. Each of the midterm exams tests only the material covered since the previous exam. In contrast the final exam, which will be given during the week of final exams, is a cumulative exam. Reason for missing an exam/quiz must be properly documented and any missed exam/quiz must be made up within a week. Computer Labs will be assigned based on SageMath and graded by the TA.

In addition, There will be two gateways tests during the semester. These short 30- minute tests help you achieve mastery over basic calculus skills and assure you are prepared for future material of Calculus II. Gateway 1 is a readiness test which evaluates Differentiation skills and Gateway 2 is a formative test covering Integration Techniques. You will have two attempts to pass Gateway 1 and three attempts to pass Gateway 2. These proctored attempts will be made during designated lab sections, in office hours with your TA, or the Mathematics Tutoring Center on a first-come-first-serve basis. Your TA will explain this process to you in detail.

The overall grades for the course are determined as follows:

 Exam 1  25%
 Exam 2  25%
 Final Exam  25%
 Quizzes  15%
 Computer Labs  10%
----------- ------
 Total  100%

The basic course letter grades are determined based on the ranges:

90-100:A 86-89: B+ 80-85: B 76-79: C+
70-75: C 66-69: D+ 60-65: D 0-59: F

To assure that students’ are adequately prepared, for each gateway test (Gateway 1 and Gateway 2) not passed, your letter grade, as determined by the table above, will be lowered by one letter grade. The drop in your final letter grade due to failure on Gateway 1 can be waived, at the instructor’s discretion, if you enroll in and successfully complete Math 152.

Additional Help

Student Success Center: located in mezzanine level of the Thomas Cooper Library (Website: https://sc.edu/about/offices_and_divisions/student_success_center/index.php)
Math Tutoring Center: runs walk-in help desks around campus; the site also maintains a list of private tutors in math and statistics (Website: https://sc.edu/study/colleges_schools/ artsandsciences/mathematics/study/tutoring)

Attendance and Academic Honesty

Attendance at every class (lectures, recitations and labs) meeting is important and expected. Students missing more than 10% of the class meetings (3 days) can have their grade lowered. Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. Violations of this policy will be dealt with according to University guidelines.
