Textbook and Calculator
Calculus and Its Applications (9th edition)
M. Bittenger, D. Ellenbogen
Addison Wesley 2007, ISBN 0-32-139534-4
A graphing calculator is recommended. The TI-83/TI-83 Plus or the very similar TI-84/TI-84 Plus will be used by instructors in the classroom and review sessions. The use of the TI-83/TI-83 Plus, TI-84/TI-84 Plus, TI-86, and TI-82 will be allowed on exams. The TI-89 and above are not allowed on exams.
MathXL
Homework and quizzes with due dates are accessed online via MathXL (http://mathxl.com).
The homework is for practice only and will help you prepare for the quizzes and examinations; homework will not count toward your course grade. The quizzes do count toward your course grade and must be submitted via MathXL.
MathXL quizzes will be due every Tuesday night at 11:59pm.
Each quiz question is worth 1 point. At the end of the semester, the quiz points you have earned will be summed to get your quiz point total, which will then be scaled to 75 points.Here is an example of how it works. Say your quiz point total is 120 (out of 126 assigned points). Your scaled quiz score would then be 75 x (120/126) = 71.43. See Grading Procedures below for how to calculate your final grade.

Grading Procedures
The course grade is based entirely on four one-hour exams and MathXL Quizzes.
The exams are graded by hand; work must be shown to get full credit.
For each student, the top three exam scores are doubled. For example, suppose your four exam scores have values A,B,C,D. Also suppose that your SCALED QUIZ SCORE has the value E. If D denotes your lowest exam score, then your grade will be determined by the formula:
(2A + 2B + 2C + D + E)/7.75 .
The grading scheme is traditional; no plus-minus grades are given:
A: 90 - 100, B: 80 - 89, C: 70 - 79, D: 60 - 69, F: 0 - 59.
