On Campus Course
Calculus, Third Edition, by Briggs, Cochran, Gillett, and Schulz (Note: there is a "Early Transcendatals" version. We will not be using that version.)
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: Blue-lined notebook paper (8.5" X 11") and blue-lined graph paper - 4 or 5 squares per inch or engineering paper, stapler, a straight edge, pencils, erasers, a highlighter in your favorite color. You can get free graph paper at http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/lite/. Access to a Computer with reliable internet is required under current COVID-19 guidelines.
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. BE ON TIME: Students need to be on time to every class meeting. It is distracting and disrespectful to the class when you arrive late or leave early.
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.
Read your textbook. You are responsible for all material in the assigned chapters whether it is discussed or not. You are also responsible for the material presented in class. It is your responsibility to attend class meetings, watch the provided or supplemental videos (ie Khan Academy), be current with homework and take exams on time. Attendance and participation will be used in determining your final grade if your grade is borderline (Any adjustment will only be in the student's favor; there will be no penalties). Reading the textbook ahead of time will benefit you greatly, as lecture will not be the first time you'll see the material. As my physics advisor wrote, ``read ahead, read again, and ask questions; you are probably not the only one who is confused''.
Daily Homework: Expect to have homework every day in this course! Homework will be assigned from the book and 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. All homework must be done neatly with work shown to receive full credit (``You are aspiring professionals in your chosen field of study; take pride in your work'') If I cannot read your writing, I cannot grade it properly, and may result in a lower grade. At the end of the semester, I will drop your two lowest homework grades. In general, I do not accept late homework. Extenuating circumstances will be handled on a case by case basis. Turning in all your homework is one of the best things you can do to improve your grade!
Written Lab Assignments: Labs will consist of completing Written Lab Assignments covering the concepts we have discussed in lecture. These assignments will be completed before you leave lab or will be due at the end of the next meeting. Usually, these problems require a deeper understanding of the concepts and are modeled after problems that will appear on the exams. You are allowed to work in groups, but you must understand everything you turn in. Attendance in lab is MANDATORY! If you are not present in lab and working on calculus the entire time, you will receive a 0 for the lab assignment. Written assignments will be submitted in class and graded by the instructor. Detailed instructions on format for written assignments will be given in class. Assignment deadlines will be announced as material is covered. At the end of the semester, I will drop your two lowest labs assignment grades. In general, I do not accept late lab assignments. Extenuating circumstances will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Exams: Three(3) major exams and a mandatory comprehensive final will be given during the semester. Make-up tests will not be given. If an exam is missed, the grade will be replaced with the score you make on the final exam. This policy applies to one exam only. If you miss more than one exam, a grade of zero will be averaged for the other missed exams. If you do not miss any exam during the semester, the grade on the mandatory final exam, if higher, will replace the lowest exam grade. If you make below 70 on a major exam, a minimum of 30 minutes must be spent with your instructor or working in the Outreach Center to review your exam. This session must be completed before the next major exam.
If you know ahead of time that you will be missing an exam, you may schedule to take the exam early. Only under extenuating, verifiable circumstances and at the discretion of the instructor will an exam be given early.
Final: Under NO circumstances will the final be given late (i.e. No Make Ups)! The final will be comprehensive and will be given on the following date as directed by the official Amarillo College Schedule:

The grading scale is standard (A 100-90, B 89-80, C 79-70, D 69-60, F Below 60) will be calculated using the above scale. Your effort in the class may affect any borderline grades.
I do not give extra credit work.
Daily attendance is required and will constitute one Lab grade. Students will be allowed to miss one class day without penalty. Five points will be deducted from the starting attendance grade of 100 for each absence after the first. For a single absence, a grade of 100 will be given; for two absences, 95; for 3, 90; etc. If you are more than 10 minutes late or leave more than 10 minutes early, it will count as an absence. Attendance will be taken in both lecture and lab.
The following schedule is subject to change by the instructor at any time.
