Student Learning Outcomes	Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to: Formulate and evaluate definite integrals, especially in finding areas, volumes, arc lengths and surface areas and applications from physics including work and hydrostatic pressure. Evaulate definite and indefinite integrals by employing various techniques of integration including integration by parts, trigonometric substitution and partial fractions. Evaluate infinite series to decide on convergence, including absolute convergence and the radius of convergence, and generate infinite series, including Taylor series, to estimate function values and find derivatives and antiderivatives.
Homework	Practice homework assignments have been distributed in this packet. You will be given many practice problems for each section. These will contain many odd-numbered problems, and the answers to these can be found in the back of the text. You do not have to turn these problems in. These problems will give you an excellent indication of the type of problems that you will be expected to be able to do on the tests.
Tests	There will be three tests throughout the semester, each covering one to two chapters from the text, at about four week intervals. Each of these tests is worth 125 points. If you are caught cheating on a test, you will be given 0 points for that test. If you are unable to attend class on the day the test is distributed, please contact me, either in person or by phone at 479-6496, so that we can make alternate arrangements. You may be able to take the test before the test is scheduled, but you may not take it after the scheduled time.
Final Exam	There will be a comprehensive final exam worth 200 points. It is scheduled for Monday, 14 December from 7:00am to 9:50am.

Electronics	You may use a graphing calculator when doing any homework, during class discussions, and when preparing for a test, but graphing calculators will not be allowed during tests. You are allowed to use a scientific calculator on tests. Cellphones should be off or in silent mode during class; should you need to take a call, please leave the room before connecting. Cellphones need to be turned off during tests.
Study Center	The MESA Transfer Study Center is located in room 714. The Study Center is a great place to get tutorial help. You can get individual help from the tutors, work in a group with others from your class or other Math 5B classes, or use the computers for some extra help. Check the MESA website for this semester’s hours of operation. The Math Learning Center (MLC) is another place to get help when the MESA Study Center is closed. The MLC is located in Room 1074 in the Learning Resources Center.
Workshop	An Academic Excellence Workshop for students enrolled in any Math 5B class will be offered this semester. The workshop will be held in the MESA Center. See me for details on days and times.
Helpful Hints	Mathematics is a subject you must practice in order to be successful. Plan to attend every class meeting--you can quickly get behind if you don’t attend class. Spend some time doing math every day: reading the textbook, working on homework problems, making study aids. It is better to study some every day rather than cramming a lot of study time in the day or two before a test. In class, ask questions if you don’t understand a concept. If you are having difficulty with the material, see me during my office hours, or go to the Study Center. Make contacts with other students in the course: you can study together or just keep each other going.
Accommodations	Students needing accommodations should contact the instructor as soon as possible. As required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), accommodations are provided to insure equal opportunity for students with verified disabilities. If you need assistance with an accommodation, please contact Disabled Student Services, Room 810, 479-6379, or Learning Skills Program, Room 1073, 479-6220.
Grades	Grades will be assigned based on your total points from your four midterm tests, and your final exam. Grades are usually assigned on a sliding scale, with the highest group of total points receiving an A, the next highest a B, and so on. A credit/no credit option is not available for this course. There are 600 possible points for this course. It is usually the case that the standard percentages (90% or more for an A, 80% or more for a B, and 70% or more for a C) are approximate values for which to strive.
