V. Assignments

The course is divided into 15 “Course Modules”. Each one corresponds to what would be one week during a full-length semester. With the exception of the first week, one window ends each week on Monday, and the other on Thursday. Homework is due the day the Course Module ends, and the Quiz for that Course Module is due the following day. To provide you with more flexibility during the condensed summer session, I chose not condense the length of the Course Modules. Each is still open for one week. However, they overlap each other by a few days, so that two Course Modules are always open at once.

Exams: There will be three regular exams, each worth 15% of your grade, plus a comprehensive final exam worth 30% of your grade. The exams should be taken at a time of your choosing during the Course Module listed. I made sure that each examination period overlapped a weekend.

Exams will be given via MyMathLab. All exams will be timed and must be proctored. Exam Proctoring: There are several options for arranging a proctor for your exams. You have three options: 1) MERC Lab – Located in North Classroom Room 4015. This service is free, with exams proctored by the lab assistants. Summer proctoring hours include MW 10 am – 4 pm, and TRF 10 am – 1 pm. In addition, they are open the following weekend on Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm and Sunday from 11 am – 6 pm: June 25-26, July 9-10, July 23-25, July 30-31. Their website is here: http://math.ucdenver.edu/~mkawai/MERC/index.html 2) ProctorU – This option allows you to take exams at home, with an online proctor via webcam. There is also a fee for this service. This option works best for students with unique schedules or travel issues, given that the service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. http://www.proctoru.com/ 3) Community Library – Some libraries offer test proctoring services. There is typically a fee for this service. Contact your local library for more information. Online Homework (10%): Weekly homework will be assigned over MyMathLab. You will have access to the textbook, tutorials, and any other materials. You will get several attempts to complete each problem. If you are still unsuccessful, you can request a similar problem to complete instead. This means that you will have an unlimited number of attempts to earn a perfect score. Online homework can be submitted up to one week late, with a 20% score penalty. Your lowest homework score will be dropped from your final grade

Friendly suggestion: The more you work to solve problems with as little assistance as possible, the more prepared you will be for exams. While your homework score is part of your grade, it is much less important than the score on exams. It would be better to submit a homework assignment late than to hastily rush through it. Working hard on homework is the best way to get ready for the exams, but you must also work “smartly”. Prior students reported that at first they often use the “show me how to do this” and other help features of MyMathLab too much, and so they were not ready for exams. Struggling with problems is essential to learning mathematics, so I strongly encourage you to give yourself plenty of time to work through and think deeply about the homework. Quizzes (10%): Each Course Module you will also have a short quiz over the assigned set of homework problems in MyMathLab. During the quizzes you will not have access to the software help options that you do for homework. You will submit the quiz once you have completed all questions and your final score will be instantly shown to you. You will not have any score improvement opportunities on quizzes, and quizzes cannot be submitted late. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped from your final grade. You are not required to have quizzes proctored, but you will be asked to attest that you did not give or receive assistance. Discussions (5%): Discussion topics will be presented in Canvas during each Course Module. There will always be a thread

for homework questions and discussion. Other options may also be available. In order to earn full credit during each Course

Module, you will be required to contribute at least two content-based posts. Procedural questions and answers will not be

considered content-based posts. You will need to ask and/or answer a question related to the Calculus content. Your lowest

5 discussion post scores will be dropped.

XII. Academic Honesty

Students are required to know, understand, and comply with the CU Denver Academic Dishonesty Policy as detailed in the Catalog and on the CLAS website. Academic dishonesty consists of plagiarism, cheating, fabrication and falsification, multiple submission of the same work, misuse of academic materials, and complicity in academic dishonesty. If you are not familiar with the definitions of these offenses, go to http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/CLAS/faculty-staff/policies/Pages/DefinitionofAcademicDishonesty.aspx. This course assumes your knowledge of these policies and definitions. Failure to adhere to them can result in possible penalties ranging from failure of this course to dismissal from the University; so, be informed and be careful. If this is unclear to you, ask me. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) Ethics Bylaws allow the instructor to decide how to respond to an ethics violation, whether by lowering the assignment grade, lowering the course grade, and/or filing charges against the student with the Academic Ethics Committee. Violating the Academic Honor Code can lead to expulsion from the University.

Definition of Academic Dishonesty

Students are expected to know, understand, and comply with the ethical standards of the University. In addition, students have

an obligation to inform the appropriate official of any acts of academic dishonesty by other students of the University.

Academic dishonesty is defined as a student's use of unauthorized assistance with intent to deceive an instructor or other such

person who may be assigned to evaluate the student’s work in meeting course and degree requirements. Examples of academic

dishonesty include, but are not limited to, the following:

Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the use of another person’s distinctive ideas or words without acknowledgment. The incorporation

of another person’s work into one’s own requires appropriate identification and acknowledgment, regardless of the means of

appropriation. The following are considered to be forms of plagiarism when the source is not noted:

1. Word-for-word copying of another person's ideas or words. 2. The mosaic (the interspersing of one’s own words here and there while, in essence, copying another's work).

http://www.ucdenver.edu/life/services/careercenter/http://www.ucdenver.edu/student-services/resources/disability-resources-services/http://www.ucdenver.edu/student-services/resources/ue/first-yearhttp://www.ucdenver.edu/life/services/LRChttp://www.ucdenver.edu/student-services/resources/Scholarships/http://www.ucdenver.edu/life/services/studentlifehttp://www.ucdenver.edu/life/services/Pages/index.aspxhttps://webmail.ucdenver.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=BfBWQwuda0CUVe6g28JkZBZvKxcFx89IJ1lXMnn5FaKv7PlETK7UuHK7os2Vu4AzvjxWF7A5b5g.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ucdenver.edu%2facademics%2fcolleges%2fCLAS%2ffaculty-staff%2fpolicies%2fPages%2fDefinitionofAcademicDishonesty.aspx

3. The paraphrase (the rewriting of another’s work, yet still using their fundamental idea or theory). 4. Fabrication of references (inventing or counterfeiting sources). 5. Submission of another’s work as one's own. 6. Neglecting quotation marks on material that is otherwise acknowledged.

Acknowledgment is not necessary when the material used is common knowledge.

Cheating: Cheating involves the possession, communication, or use of information, materials, notes, study aids or other

devices not authorized by the instructor in an academic exercise, or communication with another person during such an

exercise. Examples of cheating are:

1. Copying from another's paper or receiving unauthorized assistance from another during an academic exercise or in the submission of academic material.

2. Using a calculator when its use has been disallowed. 3. Collaborating with another student or students during an academic exercise without the consent of the instructor.

Fabrication and Falsification: Fabrication involves inventing or counterfeiting information, i.e., creating results not obtained

in a study or laboratory experiment. Falsification, on the other hand, involves deliberately alternating or changing results to

suit one’s needs in an experiment or other academic exercise.

Multiple Submissions: This is the submission of academic work for which academic credit has already been earned, when

such submission is made without instructor authorization.

Misuse of Academic Materials: The misuse of academic materials includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Stealing or destroying library or reference materials or computer programs. 2. Stealing or destroying another student’s notes or materials, or having such materials in one’s possession without the

owner’s permission. 3. Receiving assistance in locating or using sources of information in an assignment when such assistance has been

forbidden by the instructor. 4. Illegitimate possession, disposition, or use of examinations or answer keys to examinations. 5. Unauthorized alteration, forgery, or falsification. 6. Unauthorized sale or purchase of examinations, papers, or assignments.

Complicity in Academic Dishonesty: Complicity involves knowingly contributing to another’s acts of academic dishonesty.

Student Code of Conduct: As members of the University community, students are expected to uphold university standards, which include abiding by state civil and criminal laws and all University policies and standards of conduct. These standards are outlined in the student code of conduct which can be found at: http://www.ucdenver.edu/life/services/standards/students/Pages/default.aspx

XIII. Important Dates to Remember

http://www.ucdenver.edu/life/services/standards/students/Pages/default.aspx

Summer 2016 CLAS Academic Policies

The following policies, procedures, and deadlines pertain to all students taking classes in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS).

They are aligned with the Official University Academic Calendar:

http://www.ucdenver.edu/student-services/resources/Registrar-dev/CourseListings/Pages/AcademicCalendar.aspx

Schedule verification: It is each student’s responsibility to verify that their official registration and schedule of classes is correct in

their CU Denver PassportID portal before classes begin and by the university census date. Failure to verify schedule accuracy is not

sufficient reason to justify late adds or withdrawals. Access to a course through Canvas is not evidence of official enrollment.

E-mail: Students must activate and regularly check their official CU Denver e-mail account for university related messages.

Administrative Drops: Students may be administratively dropped from a class if they never attended or stopped attending, if the

course syllabus indicates that the instructor will do this. Students may be administratively dropped if they do not meet the

requisites for the course as detailed in course descriptions.

Late adds and late withdrawals require a written petition, verifiable documentation, and dean’s approval. CLAS undergraduate

students should visit the CLAS Advising Office (NC1030) and graduate students should visit the Graduate School (12th floor LSC) to

learn more about the petition process and what they need to do to qualify for dean’s approval. No Late Withdrawal petitions will be

accepted once finals week begins July 26-30, 2016. Students will be referred to CLAS Academic Standards Committee retroactive

petition process.

Waitlists: The Office of the Registrar notifies students at their CU Denver e-mail account if they are added to a class from a waitlist.

Students are not automatically dropped from a class if they never attended, stopped attending, or do not make tuition payments.

After waitlists are purged, students must follow late add procedures to be enrolled in a course. Students will have access to Canvas

when they are on a waitlist, but this does not mean that a student is enrolled or guaranteed a seat in the course. Students must

obtain instructor permission to override a waitlist and this is only possible when there is physical space available in a classroom,

according to fire code.
