Textbook: Elementary Analysis: The Theory of Calculus (Second Edition) by Kenneth A. Ross
Subject Material: We will cover most of Chapters 4–6 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.
Quizzes: There will be 5 quizzes held during the term on the dates indicated on the course calendar. The quiz component of your course grade will be based on the best 3 of your possible 5 quiz scores. There will be no makeup quizzes.
You may consult your textbook, notes, and lecture videos & slides during each quiz.
You may not search the Internet or communicate with another person in any way during a quiz. Doing so would be an academic integrity violation. Please protect your academic integrity; it is of great value to you.
Each quiz will be administered via Canvas and will be available during a 12 hour window from 10:00am–10:00pm PST on the quiz date, with a strictly enforced 30 minute time limit to complete the quiz.
Homework: Homework will be assigned on the course homework page and Gradescope. They should be completed by the indicated due date by 11:00pm. Other questions from the textbook are highly recommended. Your homework grade will be based on the best 3 of 5 graded homework.
Gradescope: All graded homework assignments are to be submitted via Gradescope. To log in, use the Gradescope link in the menu bar at left of the main page of your MATH 142B Canvas site. To submit your assignment, follow the link to the appropriate assignment and carry out the instructions. Detailed help for using Gradescope can be found at https://help.gradescope.com/.
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 exam 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 homework and 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.
10% Quizzes (Best 3 of 5) + 20% Homework (Best 3 of 5) + 20% Midterm Exam 1 + 20% Midterm Exam 2 + 30% Final Exam
15% Quizzes (Best 3 of 5) + 25% Homework (Best 3 of 5) + 25% Best Midterm Exam + 35% 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 74-79 66-73 60-65 0-59
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.
