Course Text:

Math 220 Course Pack, any edition is fine. Current edition is available at the Campus Bookstore.

Instructor Websites:

Individual instructors maintain a website with information and assignments specific to their sections. They may provide a link to a central assignment website, too.

Supplemental Materials for All Sections:

Students can access supplemental materials such as worksheets and videos by clicking here.

Lumen Online Homework Manager (OHM):

The online component of the course is designed to give daily practice of concepts and operations through a computer interface. Details for using OHM (enrollment and schedule of assignments) are given by individual instructors in their syllabus and in class.

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to provide students a working knowledge of basic operations in Calculus, including differentiation and integration of simple functions. At the end of the course the student should be able to use these techniques to graph functions and solve financial problems involving optimization, growth, and rates of change. Evaluation of the student's mastery of these concepts will be done through written exams, quizzes, and homework.

University "M" Credit:

Successful completion of this course satisfies the BU "M" credit requirement. Students in "M" courses will demonstrate competence in an area such as calculus, symbolic logic, the logic of computers, the logic of deductive and inductive reasoning, or probability and statistical inference.

Prerequisites:

To be successful in this course a student should be competent in high school algebra. Students must pass the Calculus Placement Test. Passing this test does not certify competence in algebra; not passing it shows insufficient skill. Students who struggle with the Screening Test should seriously consider taking Binghamton University's Pre-Calculus course, MATH 108 . For information on the Placement Test, click here.

Attendance:

Attendance to all classes is required. In case of illness or other necessary absences, notify your instructor by email. According to Harpur College policy, a student can receive a grade of F for any course for which they have missed 25% or more of its meetings. We will invoke this policy.

Academic Honesty:

Consequences of academic dishonesty are severe. There is precedent for giving an "F" for the course to a student who attempts to advance his/her grade illegally. Dishonesty includes, but is not limited to: copying or letting another copy one's work, lying to or intentionally misleading an instructor, consulting a phone or other electronic communication device such as a smart watch, or signing someone else's name to a document. To eliminate suspicion, only writing/erasing utensils will be permitted on desks during an exam.

Calculators and Other Electronic Devices:

Calculators are not allowed during quizzes or exams. However, use of a calculator on homework assignments is encouraged, both to save time and because some problems require a calculator's computing capacity. A graphing calculator is not necessary, but a standard scientific calculator, which has exponential/logarithmic capability, would be most useful

Students may not access any electronic devices during a quiz or test. Doing so is tantamount to cheating regardless of the actual action or intent and may result in automatic failure of the relevant assessment.

Help is Available:

The Calculus Help Rooms in Whitney Hall have a wide range of open hours. For details see Help Rooms . University Tutoring Services also offer help for courses.

University Tutoring Services (UTS) uses the Starfish interface for you to schedule time in small group tutoring. In semesters where a MATH 220 tutor is available, you may schedule appointments in UTS. Your instructor will let you know when a tutor is assigned in a given semester. See the link for details on how to schedule appointments: https://www.binghamton.edu/clt/tutoring-services/tutoring-signup-instructions.html .

Special Services:

Binghamton University is committed to full and equitable access for all enrolled students. Students requesting accommodations based on a disability must register with Services for Students with Disabilities located in UU-119 (777-2686).

In-Class Exams:

There are three exams given during the semester, as well as a comprehensive final. The in-semester exams will take place during regularly scheduled class time, in the usual classroom location. Each of the other three exams will count for 200 points, or 20% of your final grade.

We do not plan to give makeup exams except in the direst of circumstances (serious student illness or death in the immediate family). If you have an emergency, do everything you can to contact your instructor as soon as possible. DO NOT WAIT until the next class meeting.

Final Exam:

The final exam is worth 300 points, 30% of your grade.

Emphasis of the final exam is on the final unit (integration), as well as selected topics from the other three units. Details as to what specific material will be excluded will be provided in advance. The best way to study for the final exam is to understand the problems from prior exams given in the course.

Do not schedule travel arrangements that would conflict with the final. There will be no make-up offered in such circumstances, and your score will be zero.

If you have a university conflict with other final exams (another exam scheduled for the same time, or three exams within a 24-hour period) you are entitled to have one of your exams rescheduled. Of course we would rather that you reschedule your OTHER test, but we do understand that this cannot always be done. If you request a makeup be prepared to stay on campus through all of Exam Week.

If you have a conflict with the exam and cannot get a change from your other instructor(s), bring a printout of your ENTIRE exam schedule to your instructor sometime before the last week of classes. After we have collected all conflict requests, we will notify you as to when the makeup exam will be scheduled.
