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: 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/
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.
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 lowest scored two 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 and/or homework. At the end of the semester, I will drop your two lowest Labs grades to allow for sick days or "My dog ate my Lab and I was not able to submit it" days. Use these days wisely.
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.
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.
The following schedule is subject to change by the instructor at any time.
