General course information
Textbook
The textbook for the course is Thomas' Calculus (14th edition).
We will use the electronic version of the textbook bundled with MyMathLab (see below).
Final grade
As stated below, the final grade is a weighed average of the homework grades, two midterms and the final exam.
To compute the homework grade:
Homework grade=(Online hw1)*10+(Online hw 2-7)+(Paper hw 1-7)
We had 7 homeworks worth 100 points each, so the maximal homework grade is 700 points.
The weighted average is computed as follows:
Weighted average=0.2(Homework grade)/700+0.2*(Midterm 1)/50+0.2*(Midterm 2)/50+0.4*(Final)/100

Academic Participation Requirements
In September 2018 the campus will require students to verify that they have begun each course for which they are registered via the Academic Participation program. This program also encourages students to acknowledge their responsibilities regarding academic integrity and the Code of Academic Conduct, reinforcing our campus culture of honesty.
MyUCDavis will notify students online and through email on the first day of instruction to complete their Academic Participation verification no later than the quarter add deadline. Failing to verify academic participation by this deadline may result in a reduction of the financial aid award.
Please see more details by this link .
The homework consists of two parts: paper homework and MyMathLab.
Paper homework should be handed in before the start of Monday lecture.
It must be legible, and written in connected sentences that explains what you are doing.
Just the answer (whether correct or not) is not enough.
ease put your name on every page and staple the pages together.
Homework should be handed in on time, late homework will not be graded.
Though it is fine to discuss the HW problems with others, you must always write up
the solutions in your own words. Copying will be penalized. Of course, in the exams
you must work on your own: no calculators, textbooks etc will be allowed.
MyMathLab homework is done online and is graded automatically.
The course ID is gorskiy97649. The instructions
for the course registration can be found here.
