Materials: The textbook, online quizzes, EMCF
assignments, and additional help materials will be made available by
logging into CourseWare at
http://www.casa.uh.edu.
These first portion of these materials are
freely available for the first two weeks of class. All students must
purchase a Course Access Code and enter it on CourseWare by the first day of
the third week of class to continue accessing the course learning
materials. A Course Access Code can be
purchased for about $55 from the University Bookstore. The material covered in the
course is listed below: 7.1 Integration Review 7.2 Area 7.3 Volume 7.4 Centroids 7.5 Arc Length and Surface Area 7.6 Differential Equations and Exponential Growth/Decay 7.7 Improper Integrals Chapter 8 - Techniques of Integration 8.1 Integration by Parts 8.2 Powers of Trigonometric Functions 8.3 Trigonometric Substitutions 8.4 Integrating Rational Functions 8.5 Numerical Integration Chapter 9 - Sequences and Series 9.1 Sequences and Convergence 9.2 Numerical Series and Convergence 9.3 Tests for Convergence 9.4 The Power Series 9.5 The Taylor Series Chapter 10 - Polar Coordinates and Parametric Equations 10.1 Polar Coordinates and Polar Curves 10.2 Area and Arc Length in Polar Coordinates 10.3 Parametric Equations 10.4 Derivatives for Curves Given Parametrically 10.5 Arc Length for Curves Given Parametrically 10.6 Surface Area Daily Poppers: Daily grades will be given in lecture
beginning the first day of the third week of class. You need to
purchase a course packet of Popper Forms for Math 1432 with your
section number
from the BOOK STORE. You must bring one of
these forms to class every day beginning week 3. No other form will be
accepted. Questions will be asked in lecture at random times. You will
mark your answers on your form and drop the form in a box at the end of
class. Your forms will not be returned. If you are caught filling
out multiple popper forms, you will lose attendance credit for that day. Lab Quizzes: 5%
of your average will come from a lab quizzes (given
on during recitation). If you are in a face to face recitation, you
will complete the lab quizzes on Wednesdays and Fridays. If you
are in an online recitation, you will answer online with EMCF. "EMCF"
stands for "Electronic Multiple
Choice Form" and are answered on CourseWare
using the EMCF tab. All of these grades are out of 10
points each. See the CourseWare handout for more information. Homework: 5%
of your average will come from a homework. Homework is submitted
online through CourseWare.
Instructions are given in the CourseWare handout located on the class
webpage. No late homework is accepted. Homework is graded on
accuracy. All of these grades are out of 10 points each. Online Quizzes: There will be 2-3 online quizzes given each
week. You can attempt these quizzes up to 20 times, and the highest
grade will be used for your score. You can access the quizzes by
logging into CourseWare at http://www.casa.uh.edu.
Quizzes will not reopen once they have closed. Exams: All sections of Math 1432 take common
exams. Four regular exams will be given during the semester. The first exam is an online exam that will be
available by the first day of class at http://www.casa.uh.edu. The other
three exams will be given in CASA (note the test location when you
register). You can access the scheduler for these exams by logging into
CourseWare at http://www.casa.uh.edu. The
exams given in CASA will consist of both multiple choice and written
questions. The multiple choice questions will be machine graded. The
written questions will be graded by the instructors and teaching
assistants for all sections of Math 1432, and they will be returned in
lab. The scheduler will be available 2 weeks prior to the start of the
exam cycle. There are no make-ups for missed exams. Your
final exam grade will replace your lowest test grade. Final Exam: A comprehensive final exam will be given in
CASA. You can access the scheduler for this exam by logging into CourseWare at http://www.casa.uh.edu. The final
exam is MANDETORY for this class. Grades:
Attendance is Mandatory!!
Attendance
will be taken in lab, and the daily poppers will be used to determine
your attendance in lecture. I will allow you a total of 3 unexcused
absences from lecture and lab (total). Documented University of Houston
excused absences will be permitted. Whenever possible, and in
accordance with 504/ADA guidelines, we will attempt to provide
reasonable academic accommodations to students who request and require
them. |
