On Campus Course
Calculus, Second Edition, by William Briggs and Lyle Cochran, with the assistance of Bernard Gillett, Pearson Education Publisher
Calculator: A graphing calculator is required for this course. All classroom demonstrations will be done on the TI-84 Plus. Other forms of Texas Instruments or Casio calculators will be permitted at the instructor's discretion. However, the TI-89, TI-92, or TI-Nspire calculators may not be used during exams.
Graphing Calculator Checkout: Students unable to afford the purchase of a graphing calculator can apply to check one out for the semester. These calculators are checked out on a "first come, first served" basis. Bring a copy of your schedule to the Adult Students Program, Student Services Center, Room 130, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. You must complete an application and be enrolled in a math class to receive this assistance.
Students who lose (due to accident/theft/any other mishap) or damage in any way a loaner graphing calculator will be required to replace the lost, stolen, or damaged calculator with a new TI-84 or TI-84 Plus graphing calculator. Failure to do so will result in immediate action(s) taken by Amarillo College.
Basic: Paper, pencil/pen, eraser, access to a working computer, brain (it is imperative that you one bring this with you everyday!)
In order to receive your AC Connect Email, you must log in through AC Connect at https://acconnect.actx.edu .
If you are an active staff or faculty member according to Human Resources, use "Exchange". All other students, use "AC Connect (Google) Email".
Students are expected to behave in the classroom in a manner that is supportive of a positive learning environment. Behaviors that are not supportive include but are not limited to: tardiness/leaving early, electronic device noises, talking during lecture, texting or participating in social media during lecture, and abusive, offensive, or disrespectful language or demeanor towards AC faculty, staff, students, or property.
Students who fail to comply with the standards outlined in the syllabus and "Student Rights & Responsibilities" will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include but is not limited to: removal from the classroom, consultation with the department chair or other AC authority, or withdrawal from the course or college.
In order to receive credit for a course, all material listed on the syllabus must be covered. The State of Texas sets the requirements; therefore, this course will move at a pace to ensure that these requirements are met. Complaining about the pace will not result in less material being covered.
Scholastic dishonesty (cheating) of any kind will not be tolerated in this course. Cheating is defined in Webster's College Dictionary as "taking an examination in a dishonest way, as by having improper access to answers." Improper access includes, but is not limited to, copying from another student's paper and using unauthorized sources of information while taking a test. “Each student must fully understand that if the student cheats, or attempts to cheat on any test the student will receive an automatic “F” in the course. This grade will go on the student’s permanent transcript and cannot be removed. Cheating includes, but is not limited to: the illegal use of books, notes, cell phones, and the use of cell phone calculators, copying or leaving the classroom with a test or questions from a test. Cheating also includes helping, or attempting to help, other students to cheat on a test.” If you are caught with a cell phone out during an exam for ANY reason, you will receive an F for the course. Further action at a higher level may be sought if necessary. Scholastic dishonesty is clearly defined in the Student Rights and Responsibilities.
ADDITIONAL CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS:
1. Participate!!! You will get the most out of this course if you participate. Ask questions when you need to, and don’t be afraid to speak up! We will have a much better class if everyone is engaged in the material and trying to figure out the problem!
2. BE PREPARED: Students need to have all homework completed and ready to discuss when class begins.
3. NO DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR will be tolerated.
4. SUBSTITUTE BEHAVIOR: If a substitute should come in to teach the class, you are expected to be on your best behavior and treat him/her with the highest respect. I would not send anyone in to teach who is not fully capable of doing so.
Your semester grade (90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C, 60-69 D, below 60 F) will be calculated using the following weights:

Daily Homework: Expect to have homework every day in this course! Homework will be graded on a point scale. Your daily homework score is determined by the number of problems you attempted to work following the guidelines outlined below, not the number of problems you worked correctly. At the end of the semester, I will drop your two lowest homework grades. Turning in all your homework is one of the best things you can do to improve your grade!
Labs: There will be Labs given over the prior lecture, homework, or chapter.
Exams: Three major exams will be given this semester in addition to a comprehensive final exam. If you miss a major exam, the grade on your final exam will be used to replace the missing grade. I do not offer make-up exams. If you know ahead of time that you will be missing an exam, you may schedule to take the exam early. If you miss more than one exam (remember the first missed one is replaced by your grade on the final exam) a second missed exam will be recorded as a zero. If you do not miss any exam and your final exam grade is higher than your lowest test score, I will replace the lowest test score with your final test grade. Major exams will be administered in class (in which case they must be completed by the end of class), in the testing center, or as a take home test.
** If you make below a 70 on any of the major exams you will be required to spend, at least, one hour of mandatory tutoring in the Math Outreach Center. Here you will be able review any material that you struggled with on the exam, remember - you will see this material on the Final Exam (and beyond this class!), and it is therefore your responsibility to show mastery of each topic. You may also work on homework or lab assignments during this time.
Final: Under NO circumstances will the final be given late (i.e. No Make Ups)! The comprehensive final will be administered in the classroom in accordance with Amarillo College’s official Final Exam Schedule. NOTE: The Final Exam WILL replace your lowest exam grade (if it helps), however, even if it does not end up replacing an exam the final counts as 20% of your grade NO MATTER WHAT.
I do not give extra credit work.

Final Exam: The comprehensive final will be administered in the classroom in accordance with Amarillo College’s official Final Exam Schedule. |
1. Expect to have homework/lab assigned each day. Due dates for homework/lab assignments will be announced in class. Late homework/lab will not be accepted. Late is defined to be anything turned in after the start of the class period.
2. Homework/lab must be done in pencil. Anything that is wrong or needs to be corrected must be clearly erased. Don't write, doodle, or perform mathematical calculations in the margins. Homework/lab must be neat and legible. I will be the judge as to what is neat. Just because you can read it doesn't mean that I can interpret it.
3. Homework/lab must be presented in an orderly manner with the problem running a single column down the left half of the page. You may use the right half of the page for graphs and drawings. Any problem (excluding graphs) with work presented in anything except the first column will not receive credit. All final answers must be boxed or circled to receive credit. Any problem with the answer not circled or boxed in will not be graded.
If you are absent, it is your responsibility to contact another student to find out the homework/lab assignment for the following class. You may e-mail me at tgmeraz@actx.edu, but you take the chance that I may not retrieve the message before the due date.
And remember, LATE HOMEWORK/LABS ARE NOT ACCEPTED.
