We will cover Chapters 12–16 of
James Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 7th edition, with Enhanced WebAssign.
Please note that this course uses the 7th edition rather than the 6th. You will also need WebAssign access to do the homework. If you have the standard text and WebAssign package from Math 220, 221, or 231 for last year, then you already have everything you need for this course. For information on purchasing the text and WebAssign, please see this page.
Overall grading: Your course grade will be based on the online HW (10%), worksheets (5%), quizzes (10%), three midterm exams (15% each), and a comprehensive final exam (30%). Per department policy, letter-grade cutoffs for final semester grades will be assigned in a way that maintains historical class averages for Math 241. This policy makes sure that students' grades are a function of their mastery of the course material and not significantly dependent on the grading policies of their specific instructors. Thus, for this course the percentage of students receiving A/B/C/D/F grades will roughly resemble the following distribution: 22% A, 33% B, 29% C, 10% D, 6% F.
Exams: There will be three midterm exams, which will be held from 5:00–6:00pm on June 27, July 11, and July 25.
There will be a final exam from 1:00-3:00pm on Aug 6.
All exams will be closed book and notes, and no calculators or other electronic devices (e.g. cell phones, iPods) will be permitted.
Homework: The homework will be completed online via WebAssign. Late homework will not be accepted, but the lowest 3 scores will be dropped. To access WebAssign login here using your U of I netid and password:
Worksheets and Quizzes: Most class meetings will include, in addition to lecture, either a group worksheet or a quiz. The former will be graded for effort and latter for accuracy. Missing either results in a score of zero, but the lowest 2 worksheet scores and lowest 2 quiz scores will be dropped.
Conflict exams: If you have a conflict with one of the exam times, please consult the university policy on midterm exams and final exam conflicts. Based on that, if you think your situation qualifies you to take the conflict exam, please contact me as soon as possible, but no later than a week before the exam in question. I reserve final judgment as to which exam you will take.
Missed HW/worksheets/quizzes: Generally, these are taken care of with the policy of dropping the lowest scores.
Viewing grades online: You can always find the details of your worksheet, quiz, and exam scores on Moodle: https://learn.illinois.edu/
Academic Integrity: It is the responsibility of the student to refrain from infractions of academic integrity, from conduct that may lead to suspicion of such infractions, and from conduct that aids others in such infractions (§1-401 of the Student Code)
