Text: Calculus, Second Edition, by Ostebee and Zorn (published by Houghton Mifflin Company).

Calculator: TI-83 Graphing Calculator (or equivalent) (but none capable of "symbolic manipulation"). You will be allowed to use the calculator on quizzes, tests, and the final exam with the exception of a few quizzes.

Tests: The dates for the two in-class tests are Friday, October 6, and Friday, November 10. Eric Towne, the department's Assistant in Instruction, will conduct a review on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. prior to each test. These reviews will be held in Pettengill G52.

Missed tests: In the event of a verifiable emergency that prevents you from taking a test at the scheduled time, you must notify me as soon as possible, and in any case, before the next regularly scheduled class. Make-up tests will be administered at my discretion and may be different than the regular exam.

Final Exam: The final exam is scheduled for Tuesday, December 12 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Every student has to take the final exam at this time. Eric Towne will conduct two reviews (each covering half the course) on Sunday, December 10 (7 p.m.) and Monday, December 11 (7 p.m.). These reviews will be held in Pettengill G52.

Homework: Homework assignments will be posted weekly on the section webpage. Homework will be collected weekly and selected homework problems will be graded.

• Homework is due at the beginning of the class.
• Late homeworks will not be accepted. If you are unable to hand in the homework during class, you must hand it in on the due date by 3 p.m. in my office (Hathorn Hall 211). A few of the lowest homework scores will be dropped at the end of the semester.
• Grading will be on both correctness and completeness. Correct answers which are not accompanied by coherent explanation will be worth 0 points.

Quizzes: Quizzes will be announced in class and through email. Quizzes will be at the beginning of the class. There will be no make-up quizzes; however a few of the lowest quiz scores will be dropped at the end of the semester.

Labs: There are five labs in the semester during the following weeks: Sep 18, Oct 2, Oct 23, Nov 6, Nov 27. You will sign-up for a specific day and time during the first week of class. The labs are an integral part of the course, and are conducted by Eric Towne. Please contact Eric (etowne@bates.edu) with any lab-related questions.

Class participation: We will engage in class discussions as we learn new concepts. We will solve problems together on the board or in groups. Not simply attendance, but your active participation is essential for these activities and will count toward the class participation grade. Handing in extra problems besides the required homework problems will also count toward your class participation grade.

Grades: The weights of each category in your final grade are as follows:

Homework: 10%	Quizzes: 10%	Labs: 5%
Class participation: 10%	Tests: 20% each	Final exam: 25%

To calculate your grade in each category at the end of the semester, I will divide the total points earned by the total possible points in that category and then multiply it by the value indicated above. For instance, if there were 130 possible homework points and you got 110 points, then I will take 110/130 and multiply it by 10 to get the homework portion of your grade. Adding the results for each category will give your final grade percentage.

Academic Integrity: The College Code of Student Conduct will be enforced in all the areas of the course and students found to be in violation will be subject to the appropriate disciplinary processes.
