Syllabus

Course: MATH 10C

Title: Calculus III

Credit Hours: 4

Prerequisites: AP Calculus BC score of at least 3, or MATH 10B, or MATH 20B, or equivalent

Course Description: See the catalog of mathematics courses.

Textbook: OpenStax Calculus Volume 3

Subject Material: We will cover selected sections of Chapters 2–4 and Section 5.1 of the textbook. A more complete list of the sections covered can be found in the calendar or the exam sections below.

Reading: It will be expected that you read (i.e., preview) the assigned material in advance of the class period indicated by the course calendar, and then read the material more carefully after the corresponding lecture. The amount of reading is not large in quantity; however, it is heavy in conceptual content.

Homework: 7 graded homework will be assigned using Edfinity and will be accessible via our Canvas site. The n-th graded homework is labeled "Homework n". They should be completed by the indicated due date by 11:59pm. You will receive 70% of the credit if you complete the homework within one day of the due date. Other questions from the textbook are highly recommended. In particular, there are also other practice problems assigned using Edfinity which are not graded. Note: It is not expected that you write out solutions for all the textbook homework exercises; however, you are strongly encouraged to write out solutions to those that appear more challenging to you. Your homework grade will be based on the best 6 of the 7 graded homework.

Midterm Exams: There will be two midterm exams held during scheduled lectures; see the course calendar for the dates and times of the midterm exams.

• You may bring one double sided 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten sheet of notes with you to each midterm exam; no other notes (or books) will be allowed.

• No calculators (or other devices) will be allowed during the midterm exams.

• There will be no makeup midterm exams. Please see the Grading section below.

Final Exam: The final examination will be held at the date and time stated in the course calendar and the listing for this course in the Schedule of Classes.

• It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not have a schedule conflict involving the final exam; you should not enroll in this class if you cannot take the final exam at its scheduled time.

• You may bring one double sided 8.5 by 11 inch handwritten sheet of notes with you to the final exam; no other notes (or books) will be allowed.

• No calculators (or other devices) will be allowed during the midterm exams.

Regrade Policy: Your exams will be graded using Gradescope. You will be able to request a regrade via Gradescope for a specified window of time. Be sure to look for the email message from Gradescope that announces the regrade request window and make your request within the specified window of time; no regrade requests will be accepted after the deadline.

Grading: Your course letter grade will be based on the better of the following two weighted averages.

• 20% Homework (Best 6 of 7) + 22.5% Midterm Exam 1 + 22.5% Midterm Exam 2 + 35% Final Exam

• 25% Homework (Best 6 of 7) + 30% Best Midterm Exam + 45% Final Exam

Your letter grade will be computed from your weighted average using the following standard scale.

 A+ A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- F

97-100 93-96 90-92 87-89 83-86 80-82 77-79 73-76 70-72 0-69

The above scale is guaranteed; however, your instructor reserves the right to adjust the above scale to be more generous.

OSD Accommodations: Students requesting accommodations for this course due to a disability must provide a current Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) letter issued by the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD). We will make every effort to arrange provide any accommodations stipulated by your AFA letter. For more information, visit the OSD website.

Assessment Versioning: Following UCSD (and common) practice recommended by the Academic Integrity Office, assessments given at non-overlapping times will be comparable, but may not be identical. This practice is meant to maintain course integrity, avoiding prohibited collaboration (either intentional or accidental).

Academic Integrity: Academic integrity is highly valued at UCSD and academic dishonesty is considered a serious offense. Students involved in an academic integrity violation will face an administrative sanction which may include suspension or, in very serious cases, expulsion from the university. Your integrity has great value: cultivate and protect your academic integrity. For more about academic integrity and its value, visit the UCSD Academic Integrity website.
