Instructor:
Dr. Jeff Morgan, 651 PGH, jmorgan@math.uh.edu. Office Hours: 11:00 - Noon MWF or by appointment. Course Homepage: http://www.math.uh.edu/~jmorgan/Math1432 Text: CALCULUS,
9th edition. Authors: Salas/Hille/Etgen. Publisher: John
Wiley & Sons, Inc. Note: You do not need to purchase
this text. You can access the text electronically by logging into CourseWare at http://www.casa.uh.edu. Weekly Homework: Homework will be collected on Monday in recitation,
starting the second week of class, except on weeks when recitation does not
meet. In these cases, additional information will be given. A list of
problems will be posted from the course homepage along with instructions.
Many of the homework sets will come in part from this
list. 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 section 13596 from the University Bookstore.
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. EMCF: "EMCF" stands for "Electronic Multiple Choice
Form". EMCF assignments are answered on CourseWare
using the EMCF tab. The questions will be posted on the course homepage. EMCF
assignments will typically be given multiple times each week during the
semester, with due dates some time the next morning. Please check the course
homepage regularly. Written Quizzes: Written quizzes will be given every Friday in
recitation (lab). Quizzes will be returned in recitation. If you do not
attempt all of the questions on the written homework that is due the next
week, or you do not follow the instructions, then your grade on the written
quiz will automatically become a 0. Online Quizzes: At least one online quiz will be 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.
Practice tests will also count as quiz scores, and the practice final exam
will count as 2 quiz scores. 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 is available NOW at http://www.casa.uh.edu. The other three
exams will be given in CASA (located on the second floor of Garrison). 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. 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. 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). You will
lose 1% of your grade for every unexcused absence from lecture or lab after
the third. 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. |
