Meeting Time/Place:
Textbook: Applied Calculus, 9th Edition, by Hoffman and Bradley.
Calculator: A graphing calculator, approved by the instructor, is also required. I recommend a TI-83, but other graphing calculators can be substituted; be aware that I cannot provide assistance with other brands/models with which I am not familiar. There are calculator models now available (for example the TI-89) which come with a Computer Algebra System or CAS. These CAS-equipped calculators are usually a very bad thing for Calculus students because they will allow you to get a correct answer to very difficult Calculus questions, but you will be unable to supply "the work" to show how you got the answer. I never give credit for correct answers alone -- there must always be supporting work shown -- so I strongly advise you against calculators with a built-in CAS.
Disability Services: I believe in providing reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities on an individualized and flexible basis. If you are a student with a disability, the university's Disability Resource Center (DRC) determines appropriate accommodations through consultation with the student. Before you may receive accommodations in this class, you will need to make an appointment with the Disability Resource Center, located in EN C-105A. To speak with me about accommodations, or other concerns, such as medical emergencies or arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment as soon as possible.
Academic Honesty: Per SCSU policy, I penalize all first instances of academic dishonesty by assigning a grade of 0 for the assignment in question, and by reporting the incident to the Dean of Arts and Sciences. Academic dishonesty includes cheating on exams or quizzes (bringing crib sheets, copying from someone else's paper, etc.) and plagiarism (representing someone else's work as your own -- for example, copying a report from a webpage and then changing some of the words and/or phrasings is plagiarism).
