Printer/Scanner:
You will need to print and scan your projects and worksheets. On campus, printers and scanners are available at the Briggs
Library. Additionally, most public libraries have printers and scanners available.
Calculator Policy:
Calculators are a useful tool for mathematics, making computations less tedious, and aiding in exploration and development
of mathematical intuition. If you already own a graphing calculator or some computer software, you may use it however
you like on homework assignments and quizzes. However, it is our experience that many students rely too heavily on
calculators, which hinders the development of certain reasoning, estimation, and mental mathematics skills. For these
reasons, calculators will NOT be allowed on proctored exams.
System Goal #5:
Students will understand and apply fundamental mathematical processes and reasoning. This goal will be achieved through
meeting the following
Student Learning Outcomes: As a result of taking courses meeting this goal, students will be able to:
1. Use mathematical symbols and mathematical structure to model and solve real world problems and will
demonstrate this by
a. analyzing information and transferring to an expression involving derivatives
b. utilizing expressions involving derivatives to solve real-world problems
2. Demonstrate appropriate communication skills related to mathematical terms and concepts and will demonstrate
this by
a. demonstrating understanding of the concept of limit, derivative and integral
b. thinking logically and writing solutions to exercises involving limits, derivatives and integrals in a connected
step-by-step fashion
3. Demonstrate the correct use of quantifiable measurements of real world situations and will demonstrate this by
a. interpreting graphical representations of real world data using concepts from calculus and appropriate units
b. using the methods of calculus to generate a graphical representation of real world situations
These student learning outcomes will be assessed through homework, projects, quizzes, worksheets and written examinations.
Grading: Your final grade will be determined by attendance and your performance on quizzes/projects, online
homework, four exams, and a comprehensive final exam. Since exams during the semester are given at 6:30 in the
morning, you will be compensated with a day off from class that week. Your lowest exam score will be replaced by
your final exam score if your final exam percentage is at least 65% and the replacement will benefit you. Your
grade will be weighted as follows:
Attendance 2% EXAM 1 (Tuesday, Feb. 11th – 6:30 AM) 15%

The grading scale is 90%-100% A, 80%-89% B, 70%-79% C, 60%-69% D, below 60% F.
Exams: THEY ARE NOT ONLINE TESTS.
If you live or work within 30 miles of SDSU or are taking other classes on campus, you are required to take the exams on our
campus at the above days. Exam times and locations on campus will be posted on D2L
If you live or work within 30 miles of a South Dakota Board of Regents testing center (see testing center list), and may
take the test there without paying a fee, you will take your tests there. Otherwise, you will arrange for an approved
proctor (which can include a testing center if you so desire) with whom you will take your test (see proctor form). You
and your proctor have to fill out and your proctor send me a proctor form as a PDF file with all of their contact
information by January 24 for approval. If you will be using the same proctor every single time, you only need to do
this once. If you switch proctors, then I need a new proctor form for each proctor. There is a link to this proctor form
in the SDSU Getting Started box. Your proctor will be responsible for scanning and e-mail to me (preferred
method) or faxing your exam to 605-688-5880 by midnight on the day the exam is due, except the exams given
on Fridays must be taken and sent to me by sometime the day before, otherwise you will receive zero on
that exam. Please bring your student ID to every proctored exam. The proctor form can be found on a link at the top
left corner of the D2L page.
In studying for the tests make sure to work: all webassign problems, all textbook problems from the list on the second to
last page of the syllabus, and problems listed on the review sheet. Also make sure you are showing all of your work on your
exams. Pay close attention to the work that has been shown in the examples and keys. If you do not show all of the same
steps, you will most likely lose points on the test. Anything you are thinking in your head should be shown on the test.
Makeup policy:
Make-up exam will be given only in the case of a verifiable excused absence AND if the instructor is notified prior to
the absence. This notification may be in the form of an email. It is the student’s responsibility to have this contact
information available if necessary. A verifiable excused absence may include a death in the immediate family, a sudden
serious illness, injury, or accident, or a University approved trip. There should be no reason that you do not make contact
with me by the day of the test at the latest. If you wait to contact me until the day after the test, you most likely will not be
allowed to take the test. The instructor will request documentation in order to determine if it is a verifiable excused
absence. For a University approved trip, all makeup work must be completed prior to departure.
On-line Homework:
Homework will be submitted online using WebAssign. To access the online homework, go to
and click on “Enroll with Class Key”. In order to register, you will need your email
https://webassign.net/login.html
address, the Class Key (sdstate 1934 3775), and a student access code. A student access code can be purchased online
when registering, or from the bookstore either separately or packaged with a new book. There is a 14-day free trial
period, so you don’t need to pay to get started! Please see the handout in our D2L class page for additional directions on
how to enroll in WebAssign.
Homework can be completed on any computer that has internet access, but you may want to check the system requirements
. Although your graded
found online at http://www.webassign.net/manual/student_guide/c_a_system_requirements.htm
homework is done on the computer, it is recommended that you do your work in a homework notebook. In addition, there is
a list of extra textbook problems included in the syllabus. It is highly recommended that you do the textbook problems as it
will help you better prepare for quizzes and exams. Each online assignment has a due date and you are responsible for
completing your homework by the due date. The best way to prepare for quizzes and exams is to DO ALL THE
HOMEWORK (BOTH ONLINE AND TEXTBOOK). At the end of the course, your two lowest online homework scores
will be dropped. Homework extensions may be granted automatically, but there will be a 40% penalty for homework
assignments completed with an extension. You will have 48 hours from the due date to request an extension and complete
the assignment.
Quizzes (on-line)/Activities/Group Projects: Quizzes will be taken online using WebAssign. There will be ten quizzes
throughout the semester. These will be timed, unproctored quizzes. Once you start the quiz, the timer does not stop, even
if you close the assignment or log out of WebAssign. You should plan to complete the quiz in one session. At the end of
the course, your lowest online quiz score will be dropped. The activities will be posted on D2L and graded for completion
points. There will be three group projects throughout the semester and will be graded for correct answers. These projects
could entail a writing assignment, a difficult homework problem, an interesting application problem, etc. You will be given
ample time to complete each project. NO LATE ACTIVITY or PROJECT WILL BE ACCEPTED UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES because the key will be up the next day and NO ACTIVITY or PROJECT SCORES WILL BE
DROPPED.
Class Participation –Introduce yourself on the discussion board on D2L during the first week / Learning Guides
Learning guides are designed to lead you through the lecture videos and e-book while highlighting important topics,
definitions, and examples. You should start the section video and read along in your book with the lecturer. It is important
that you do NOT have other windows open (music, face book, etc.) as you watch the video and read-this causes you to take
much longer to complete your learning guide and you will get much less out of it than you would with focused effort on
the material. It is very important that you watch the videos, read the book, and complete the reading guides
BEFORE beginning your homework for each section! The homework will be easier and you will require much less time
to complete it if you have done your learning guide first. Learning guides are graded for completion, and you will be
.
asked to show your completed learning guides to your proctor to be graded when you take the exams for this course
Extra Credit Worksheets (Supplemental Labs): Besides doing your homework, one of the best ways to prepare for
quizzes and tests is to attend supplemental labs. You can earn up to 3 or 4 bonus points on each exam, or 1 bonus point
for each week you attend a supplemental lab. This is usually worth about half a letter grade on each test! There
will be worksheets posted on D2L that contain content from each section similar to content you will see on the exams.
Each worksheet is worth 1 point of extra credit on the exam. You will need to print off the worksheet, complete it,
scan it, and turn it into the dropbox by 11:59 pm on the day that it is due. As long as the worksheet is complete, you
will receive the extra credit points. There will be keys posted the following day so you can check your work and
notation. Make sure you look at the notation on the key carefully. On the exams you can lose up to 1 point per problem
for incorrect notation. Late worksheets will not be accepted under any circumstances because the key will be up
the next day. However, you can work ahead and turn in the worksheets early. In order to receive the extra credit on
the exam, you must check the key before the exam. Otherwise no credit will be given.
Curving Grades/Final Grades:
Because some low homework and quiz grades are dropped and because you have the opportunity to replace a previous
exam score with your final exam score, I do not curve any tests or final grades. The grade you earn from your
performance on coursework is the final grade you will receive in the course. Your grades can be found on Webassign,
they will not be posted on D2L.
Note: You are responsible for any schedule changes, announcements, or information posted on D2L.
Freedom in Learning: Students are responsible for learning the content of any course of study in which they are enrolled.
Under Board of Regents and University policy, student academic performance shall be evaluated solely on an academic
basis and students should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any courses of study. Students
who believe that an academic evaluation is unrelated to academic standards but is related instead to judgment of their
personal opinion or conduct should first contact the instructor of the course. If the student remains unsatisfied, the student
may contact the Department Head, Dean, or both, of the college which offers the class to initiate a review of the evaluation.
Student Academic Integrity and Appeals: The University has a clear expectation for academic integrity and does not
tolerate academic dishonesty. University Policy 2.4 sets forth the definitions of academic dishonesty, which includes but is
not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty, misrepresentation, and other forms of
Policy and its Procedures also set forth how charges of academic dishonesty are
dishonesty relating to academics. The
handled at the University. Academic Dishonesty is strictly proscribed and if found may result in student discipline up to
and including dismissal from the University.
Academic dishonesty will result in a score of 0 for that particular assignment for both parties involved. More than one
offense will result in a failing grade for the course AND formal reporting of the incident to the Division of Student Affairs.
ADA Statement: Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact
me privately to discuss your specific needs. Please contact the Office of Disability Services at (605) 688-4504 in room 065
in the Student Union to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
Academic Success/Early Alert: As your professor, my goals are to support your success in this course and provide a
meaningful learning experience. For that reason, if there are academic performance concerns that may impede your success,
I will communicate with you and those dedicated to supporting your success using ConnectState. Notifications will be sent
to your jacks email account and can be reviewed in the ConnectState platform. If you receive a notification, please come
see me or seek assistance from your advisor, the Student Success Center, or other campus resources.
Access to ConnectState is found on the MyState dashboard page and uses the same login credentials as MyState.
Math 123 Textbook Homework
Spring 2020
The best way to prepare for quizzes and exams is to DO YOUR HOMEWORK with paper and pencil. When
doing your homework, it is important to be careful of your notation since you may lose points for improper
notation on quizzes and exams. There are very few people who can/will be successful in a mathematics course
without doing homework. Math is very much like a sport—you improve your ability with a lot of practice. It is not
a spectator sport but rather a full contact sport.
