STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to do the following:

1. Be able to find the rate of change of a function, both over an interval and instantaneously.
2. Use the derivative to study rates of change and marginal changes in economic applications
3. Construct accurate graphs of functions using the concepts of calculus.
4. Find optimum values of functions and apply them to practical situations, including related rates.
5. Solve problems involving logarithmic or exponential growth and decay using ideas of calculus.
6. Find anti-derivatives, both as indefinite integrals and as solutions to simple differential equations.
7. Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate definite integrals and solve their applications including average value.

WITHDRAWAL POLICY:

Under section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, students may not withdraw from more than six courses including any course a transfer student has withdrawn fom at another Texas institute of higher education. For exemptions, visit http://www.ccccd.edu/aro/withdrawal.htm.

Last Day to Drop with a “w” is October 16, 2009. NO EXCEPTIONS!

To drop this class, you need to do the following:
1.  Attain a Drop/Add sheet from the registrar’s office;
2.  Turn in the completed form to the office of Admission and Records 972-881-5710 on or prior to the drop deadline date;
3.  All students will receive an F if they do not finish this class and do not withdraw on or prior to the drop deadline date.
4.   Make sure your six course limit is satisfied.

You may repeat this course only once after receiving a grade, including W. If you drop the course before the census date, September 8, 2009, you will not be penalized in regard to the repeat policy. If you drop the class after the census date, a grade of W will be posted to your transcript and count as one attempt toward the repeat policy.

ADA STATEMENT:
It is the policy of Collin County Community College to provide reasonable accomodations for qualified individuals who are students with disabilities. This college will adhere to all applicable federal, state ansd local laws, regulations, and guidelines with respect to providing reasonable accomodations as required to afford equal educational opportunity. It is the student's responsibility to contact the ACCESS Office (G-200) or (972)881-5898, (V/TDD - 972-881-5950) in a timely manner if he/she desires to arrange for accomodations.

ACADEMIC ETHICS:

The College District may initiate disciplinary proceedings against any student accused of scholastic dishonesty. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to application for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission of material as one's own work that is not one's own.Scholastic dishonesty may involve one or more of the following acts: cheating, plaigerism, collusion and/or falsifying academic records.

Cheating is the willful giving or receiving of information in an unauthorized manner during an examination, illicitly obtaining examination questions in advance, using someone else's work in advance as if it were one's own, copying  computer disks or files,  and any other dishonest  means of attempting to  fulfill the requirements of a course.

Plaigerism is the use of an author's words or ideas as if they were one's own without giving credit to the source, including but not limited to, failure to acknowledge a direct quotation.

Collusion is intentionally aiding or attempting to aid another student in an act of scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, providing a paper or project to another student; providing an inappropriate level of assistance; communicating answers to a classmate during an examination; removing tests or answer sheets from a test site, and allowing a classmate to copy answers.

Contact the Dean of Students at 972 881-5771 for the disciplinary process and procedures or consult the CCCCD student handbook.

NOTE:  A copy of the generic syllabus is available in the division office and on the web at: iws.ccccd.edu/rkhoury/Courses.htm.

Makeup Policy: Every student is responsible for any assignment given during his/her absence. A student missing one exam for a valid reason may replace the missing grade with the final exam grade. No make-up tests will be given. All students are required to take the Final exam.
