Textbook: Calculus by R. Ellis and D. Gulick, Sixth Edition, ISBN: 978-1-133-43675-1. This book is listed with different ISBNs. As long as it has the same title, edition and authors, it should be the same.

Homework: As in Math 140, graded homework is online with WebAssign, normally due 7:30 am each Tuesday and each Thursday. Textbook practice problems are assigned (see below) but generally will not be turned in and graded. To access WebAssign:

  1. From this ELMS/Canvas page, click on the “Modules” link in the
  2. navigation menu on the left-hand side.
  3. On the page that opens up, click on “WebAssign – Math 141”.
  4. You should see “This tool needs to be loaded in a new browser window”; click on
  5. the “Load WebAssign – Math 141 in a new window” link.
  6. If you already have a WebAssign account, enter your Username and Password in the appropriate dialog boxes. (Institution should already have “umd” in place.) Then click on the “Link Account” button

If you don’t already have a WebAssign account, click on the “I don’t have a WebAssign account” link. You’ll be given three choices: “purchase access online”, “enter an access code” and “continue my trial period”.

After this process has been done the first time, steps 1) through 3) will take you to your WebAssign course page.

For the first two weeks of the semester you can click on the “continue my trial period”

link toward the bottom. You will need to have an access code before the free-use time

runs out—either in the bookstore or online by clicking the “purchase access online” link. (Hint: The cost may be cheaper purchasing an access code online as opposed to buying it from the campus bookstore.) Please wait to enter your access code until you are sure you are in the section where you will remain all semester—transferring access codes can get complicated.

(The above WebAssign instructions are written by Tim Pilachowski. If you have any login issues please contact Tim at tjp@math.umd.edu. In your email provide your full name, your student UID number, and your email address. Please follow the instructions carefully before contacting him.)

More information about WebAssign can be found here.

Grading and make-up policies: Your grade for this course will be determined by:

  • Four semester exams: 100 points each.
  • Cumulative Final exam: 200 points.
  • In-discussion quizzes (or worksheets): 100 points. Your lowest two quiz (or worksheet) scores will be dropped.
  • WebAssign homework: 100 points. Your lowest two homework scores will be dropped.
  • If your lowest semester exam is lower than your Final exam score, it will be replaced by your Final exam score (After Final score is adjusted to 100.)

In grading your exams and quizzes the process by which you got the answers will be considered. In most cases your final answer is of little importance.

The grading scale will be as follows:

90 <  A- < 93.5 <  A < 97 <  A+ < 100, etc.

No makeups will be given. If you miss a test (a quiz) you are required to notify me before the exam (the quiz) and bring documentation of the illness, signed by a healthcare professional. If you miss an exam with a reasonable excuse, that exam grade will be the only exam grade that is dropped.

Attendance: Regular attendance and participation in this class are the best way to grasp the concepts and principles being discussed. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to know what was covered and what announcements were made. Check with one of your classmates for that.

Graphing Calculators: Graphing calculators are an integral part of the course, but are not allowed on the semester exams or the final examination. The Texas Instruments TI-83, TI-84, TI-85, TI-86, and TI-89 are the preferred types.

Communications: I will occasionally send emails to the class. You need to make sure your email is updated at http://testudo.umd.edu/saddr/index.html and you check your email at least once a day.

Honor Code: According to the University of Maryland Code of Academic Integrity,

“All members of the University community-students, faculty, and staff-share the responsibility and authority to challenge and make known acts of apparent academic dishonesty.”

If you are caught cheating, it is my job to report you to the Office of Student Conduct, which typically results in an XF on your transcript. For more information, visit the webpage of the OSC at http://osc.umd.edu/.

Re-grading requests: Re-grading requests must be submitted to the instructor in person. They should be submitted in writing and within two weeks of the exam date. You must, in writing, explain your solution in detail and specify why you deserve a higher grade. You must, in writing, identify all of your errors for the problem that you are appealing before you submit your exam for regrading. Look at this as an opportunity to learn from your errors. After submitting your request, I will look at your whole exam. Be aware that this might result in lowering your score if the TAs have been overly generous in grading your exam. You should not submit a regrading request if you have altered your solutions in any way.
