The
discussion (recitation) classes are an essential part of Math 221 and
attendance is required. Each discussion section has about 35 students and
will be taught by a graduate student teaching assistant (TA). The TA will
give short lectures on material not covered in the Mon/Wed lectures, answer
questions about the textbook, lectures and homework, give and grade
quizzes. The TAs will hold office hours for individual consultations with
students. Your TA will be able to give you more personalized attention than
what you will find in the large lectures, so please take full advantage of your
discussion section!
Prerequisites: One year of high school calculus or a minimum
score of 2 on the AB Calculus AP exam. If you have had less than one year
of high school calculus, Math 220 is recommended instead. Math 220 and Math 221
use the same book and cover essentially the same material, but Math 220 has 3
lectures per week while Math 221 has only 2 lectures per week. Math 220, 221
and 234 are all Calculus I courses and you can get credit for only one of
them. See Dr. Mortensen or one of the Math Department advisors mailto:advising@math.uiuc.edu, 313
Altgeld Hall) if you are not sure which Calculus course to take.
Also, you need to have scored 70% or higher on the ALEKS assessment by the
5th day of the semester, Fri. Aug. 29. Otherwise, you will be automatically
dropped from the course. Contact advising@math.uiuc.edu
with any questions, or see http://www.math.uiuc.edu/ALEKS/
Textbook: Calculus:
Early Transcendental Functions (3rd Edition) by Smith and Minton (McGraw Hill,
2007). For this course we are using the single-variable version of
this book. It is used for Math 231-Calculus II also. The
multi-variable version has additional chapters which will not be needed for
Math 221 or 231. The textbooks in the bookstores will come with a code
for "MathZone". Beginning Sept. 3, MathZone will be used
regularly in this section of Math 221. You can also purchase a code for MathZone
separately for $20 here. By
clicking on the "Self Study" tab, you can try out the resources for
Chapter 1 for free.
Course Content: The
course will cover Chapters 1-5 of the textbook. The main topics are limits and
continuity, derivatives (their meaning, methods for calculating, applications),
antiderivatives, and definite integrals (their meaning and applications).
Methods for finding antiderivatives, often called "techniques of
integration", are covered along with other topics in Math 231-Calculus
II.
Midterm
Exams: There will be
three exams in class during the semester. The dates are
Exam #1 - Wednesday, Sept. 24, 1:00-1:50 in 314 Altgeld, on
Sections 1.2-1.5, 2.1-2.5
Exam #2 - Wednesday, October 22, 1:00-1:50 in 314 Altgeld, on
Sections 2.6-3.5
Exam #3 - Wednesday, December 3, 1:00-1:50 in 314 Altgeld, on
Sections 3.6-3.8, 4.1-4.6, 5.1
Final Exam - Friday, December 12, 1:30-4:30pm, location to be announced, covers
entire course
Policy on missed hour exams: If you miss an exam, you will receive a 0
for your grade on the exam. The only exception is if you have a valid
excuse for missing, such as a serious illness or emergency - if so, you must
inform me before the exam or, if this is physically impossible, then as soon as
possible afterwards. In this case, the grade on the corresponding part of
the final exam will count as the grade for the missed exam.
Final Exam: Friday Dec. 12, 1:30-4:30pm, location to be
announced. The final exam will cover the entire course. Math 221 has a
"non-combined" final exam. There will be no conflict exam given
except for those few individuals who meet the official
university criteria given here in the student code; if you fall into this
category, you must make arrangements with me by the last day of classes.
Do not rely on rumor or hearsay from your friends - read the official policy
and contact Dr. Mortensen or your TA with any questions!
Grading corrections: If you think there may be a grading error on one
of your quizzes or exams, discuss it first with your TA. If that doesn't
settle the matter, then explain the situation in writing (not email), attach it
to your exam paper, and give it to Dr. Mortensen in class or in her mailbox in
250 Altgeld. The deadline for all such requests is one week after the exam or
quiz has been returned. Note: this means one week after your TA returned
the paper, regardless of whether or not you were in class to receive it on that
day!
Homework: Written homework will be assigned
and collected about once a week. Individual problems will not be graded.
If you do nearly all the problems (show your work, not just the final answer,
which can be found in the back of the book!), you will get 100%. If you
do at least half but not all the problems, you will get 50%. If you do
less than half the problems, you will get 0% on that assignment. No late
homework will be accepted. If you have a valid excuse for not turning in
your homework, you will be excused from that assignment and it will not count
in your average. I strongly encourage you to carefully write out solutions to
all the problems, because this is the best (perhaps the only) way to master the
material.
Beginning the 4th day of lecture, there will also be one or two MathZone
problems to be done before each lecture, and there will be a MathZone review
assignment before exams. MathZone problems are done online. Detailed
information about MathZone will be handed out in your recitation section.
Quizzes: There will be a quiz each week except for exam
weeks. The date and sections to be covered will be announced in
advance. The quizzes will consist of problems very similar to the
homework.
Policy on missed quizzes: If you miss a quiz, you will receive a 0
for your grade. The only exception is if you have a valid excuse for
missing, such as a serious illness or emergency - if so, you must inform Dr.
Mortensen or your TA before the quiz, or, if this is physically impossible,
then as soon as possible afterwards. In this case, the grade for the
missing quiz will be dropped and will not count toward your quiz average.
No makeup quizzes.
Calculator policy: No calculators allowed on exams. The
exams will be written in such a way that they can be completed without a
calculator. You may wish to use a calculator when you are working on the
homework.
Course grade: Your course will be determined as follows:
5% MathZone assignments
10% Written homework assignments
10% Quizzes
15% Exam #1
15% Exam #2
15% Exam #3
30% Final
Exam
The following scale describes approximately how the course grades will be
assigned. The instructor may adjust this scale slightly (for the whole
class, not for individual students):
90% or above = A+, A or A-
80-89%=B+, B or B-
70-79%=C+, C or C-
60-69%=D
below 60%=F
You will be able to check your quiz and exam grades at Score Reports, which
is Math Department's gradebook program. This will be available beginning
approximately two weeks into the semester. Please check Score Reports
regularly to make sure your grades have been correctly reported and tell me
promptly about any errors. you are responsible for keeping all of your
graded homework, quizzes and exams so that any discrepancies in recorded grades
can be settled.
Academic Integrity: From the University statement
on your obligation to maintain academic integrity: "If you engage in an act of academic dishonesty,
you become liable to severe disciplinary action. Such acts include cheating;
falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic endeavor; helping or
attempting to help others commit academic
infractions; plagiarism; offering bribes, favors, or threats; academic interference; computer-related infractions;
and failure to comply with research regulations."
The Student Code, Part 4, gives complete details of rules governing academic
integrity for all students. You are responsible for knowing and abiding by these
rules.
Disabilities:
Students with disabilities who
require reasonable accommodations to participate in this class should see Dr. Mortensen as soon as
possible to make arrangements. Any accommodation on exams must be made at
least a week in advance and will require a letter from DRES.
