Course Description:
This is a course meant to continue your study of calculus. What's new is that we will be expanding your notion of function to include functions with more than one variable. We'll also functions whose outputs have more than one component. While this is officially not an online class in the schedule it is taught completely online. You will need access to a computer that in turn can access the internet. All communications related to this course will take place through the service Canvas.

How you are graded:
How you are graded:
Unfortunately I have to grade you. I’ll determine your grade by giving you one midterm exam and one final exam. The midterm exam will be worth 30% of your grade. The final exam will be cumulative and will be worth 50% of your grade. The remaining 20% will be determined by weekly submissions of homework and your participation in the online discussion forums. This is a weekly required activity that may seem like a hassle but you will all benefit from the forced accountability as well as from a lively forum. If you'd like to get an A in the class you should try to get 90% of the total possible points. I reserve the right to lower the bar for any letter grade but I'll never raise it. This means that a 90% or higher will guarantee you get an A, an 80% or above will guarantee you get a B, a 70% or above will guarantee you get a C, et cetera.

Missed Exams:
If you miss an exam you will not be allowed to make it up unless you: 1) Have a VERY good excuse or 2) Have my permission before the exam date to make up the exam at a different time.
How to get an A in this class:
How to get an A in this class:
Do some work on this class every day if possible . Begin working on each assignment as soon as you can after it is posted on Canvas. If you can't find time to do every problem do as many as you can before the next assignment is posted. Even if you only have 10 minutes you can still get through 2 or 3 problems which will help you MUCH more than doing no homework at all. Ask lots of questions. Just keep them coming. The more questions you ask the better you'll understand the material.
