Text: Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 2 edition by Briggs, Cochran and Gillett. You are also required to
purchase access to the MyMathLab homework system (discussed below). At our campus bookstores, there
should be options to purchase MyMathLab access bundled with either the electronic text or a hard copy of the
text. You can also purchase access to MyMathLab (which includes electronic access to the text) via the Math
171 Blackboard site.
Prerequisite: C or better in Math 106 and Math 108, or ALEKS score of 83+, or AP Calc AB exam score of 2+.
Calculator: No calculator is required for this course, and calculator use is not allowed on exams.
Course topics will include (from text chapters 2-5) limits and derivatives, continuity, differentiation rules,
applications of derivatives, and an introduction to definite and indefinite integrals, including the Fundamental
Theorem of Calculus.
Grading scheme:
10 written assignments (10 each): 100 pts
12 MyMathLab assignments (10 each): 120 pts
6 tutorial quizzes (10 each): 60 pts
4 tutorial projects (10 each): 40 pts
Attendance (via Learning Catalytics): 30 pts
3 midterm exams (100 each): 300 pts
Final exam: 150 pts
Total: 800 pts
% range: [0,60) [60,67) [67,70) [70,73) [73,77) [77,80) [80,83) [83,87) [87,90) [90,93) [93,100]

MyMathLab assignments: Online homework is done using MyMathLab, a Pearson Education product.
Instructions for registering into MyMathLab are given in Blackboard, under Course Content. MyMathLab
assignments will be due on Sunday nights. All MyMathLab assignments can be worked on after the due date,
with a 50% penalty assessed on all the late work. No MyMathLab work will be allowed or accepted after 11:59
pm on Sunday, December 10.
Written assignments: Written assignments and their due dates will be posted in Blackboard under Course
Content as we go. Written homework will be collected, graded and returned by your lab TA. Any paper which
appears to be copied from another student or other outside source may be given reduced credit (possibly zero).
As a rule, late written homework is not accepted. Exceptions will only be considered in rare cases where
circumstances were unexpected and beyond the student's control, and the student informed the instructor
promptly. Even when exceptions are made, penalties may be enforced. This late policy also applies to quizzes
and labs.
Quizzes: Your TA will give you several quizzes in tutorial. These may or may not be announced.
Tutorial labs and activities: You will be doing group projects (a.k.a. labs) in tutorial, on dates to specified
later. These labs will be written up and turned in by the end of the tutorial session. At other times in tutorial,
TA's will have you do other activities, like working on some problems in groups and/or presenting problem
solutions. TAs might also discuss concepts which were NOT covered in lecture.
Attendance and Learning Catalytics: If possible, you should bring to lecture a smart device that is capable of
browsing the internet. You will sometimes be asked (in lecture) to respond to questions posed by the instructor
by logging in to www .learningcatalytics.com using your MyMathLab username and password. Your instructor
will give a session ID number, which you'll need to access the day's questions. Your participation in Learning
Catalytics sessions will determine your attendance score (out of 30 points).
Learning Objectives: After successfully completing this course, a student will (at a minimum) be able to:
• Correctly define (at least informally) and use key terms from memory, the principal ones being limit,
derivative, definite integral, and indefinite integral.
• Evaluate limits, derivatives and integrals using appropriate techniques taught in this course.
• Correctly and appropriately apply the concepts of limits, derivatives and integrals to solve problems
involving asymptotes, tangent lines, rates of change, and areas under curves.

Academic Integrity: Academic integrity is the cornerstone of higher education. As such, all members of the
university community share responsibility for maintaining and promoting the principles of integrity in all
activities, including academic integrity and honest scholarship. Academic integrity will be strongly enforced in
this course. Students who violate WSU’s Academic Integrity Policy (identified in Washington Administrative
Code (WAC) 504-26-010(3) and -404) will receive a zero grade on the assignment or exam in question, will not
have the option to withdraw from the course pending an appeal, and will be reported to the Office of Student
Conduct.
Cheating includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism and unauthorized collaboration as defined in the Standards
of Conduct for Students, WAC 504-26-010(3). You need to read and understand all of the definitions of
cheating: \textbf{http://app.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=504-26-010}. If you have any questions about
what is and is not allowed in this course, you should ask course instructors before proceeding. If you wish to
appeal a faculty member's decision relating to academic integrity, please use the form available at
http://conduct.wsu.edu.
Student with disabilities: Reasonable accomodations are available for students with a documented disability. If
you have a disability and need accomodations to fully participate in this class, please either visit or call the
Access Center (contact info below) to schedule an appointment with an Access Adviser. All accomodations
MUST be approved through the Access Center. For more information, contact a Disability Specialist:
WSU Pullman Access Center,
Washington Building 217,

Classroom Safety Information: Classroom and campus safety are of paramount importance at Washington
State University, and are the shared responsibility of the entire campus population. WSU urges students to
follow the ``Alert, Assess, Act'' protocol for all types of emergencies and the "Run, Hide, Fight" response for an
active shooter incident (url below). Remain ALERT (through direct observation or emergency notification),
ASSESS your specific situation, and ACT in the most appropriate way to assure your own safety (and the safety
of others if you are able). Please sign up for emergency alerts on your account at MyWSU. For more
information on this subject, campus safety, and related topics, please view the FBI’s "Run, Hide, Fight" video
and visit the WSU safety portal.
