We will be using WileyPLUS in the course, and the homework will be assigned and completed online. In order to register for WileyPLUS, you need to have a registration code, which should be included with your (new) textbook. If you do not have a registration code, you will need to either return your book and purchase a package that includes a registration code, or you may purchase a registration code separately online at wileyplus.com
The Registration code includes access to the entire contents of the textbook online, so you may opt to purchase only the registration code and then use the online transcription of the textbook to study.
In order to sign up for your section of the course on WileyPLUS, visit
Section 03: www.wileyplus.com/class/527290
Section 19: www.wileyplus.com/class/527311
There you will be able to enter the registration code from your textbook and enroll in our section of the course online. Once you have successfully enrolled, use wileyplus.com to login to your account and complete homework assignments.
Calculator
A graphing calculator is required for this course. Either the TI-83 or TI-84 is preferred, and as a matter of fact, highly recommended. A TI-89 or a similar calculator with a computer algebra system is not allowed on examinations.

Course Structure and Grading Policies
Your final score for the course will be computed as follows:
F = 0.1 * (HW + Q + ME1 + ME2 + ME3 + ME4 + ME5) + 0.3 * FE
- Homework: 10% of the course grade. Starting on August 25th, a selection of problems from your textbook will be posted through WileyPlus.com on the day of the lecture, and will be graded. You will have until the end of the next class day to complete the assignment (e.g. what is posted on Monday is due on Wednesday at 11:59PM; what is posted on Friday is due on Monday at 11:59PM).
- Quizzes: 10% of the course grade. At least a quiz will be given weekly through WileyPlus.com, except the week of a test, or the last week of classes. Pop-quizzes will be given constantly as well in class.
- Tests: each test counts 10%, for a total of 50% of the course grade. There will be five in-class tests tentatively scheduled as follows:
Test # Date 1 Fr Sep 16 2 We Sep 28 3 We Oct 19 4 Fr Nov 04 5 Mo Nov 21 - Final exam: 30% of the course grade. The dates for the final exam are:
- Section 03: Wednesday, December 7th at 9:00 AM.
- Section 19: Friday, December 9th at 12:30 PM.
No make-up quizzes or tests will be given. Only the following reasons are valid excuses for missing class or assignments, and must be verified by letter from a doctor, guardian or supervisor.
- Participation in an authorized University activity (such as musical performances, academic competitions, or varsity athletic events in which the student plays a formal role in a University sanctioned event)
- Required participation in military duties
- Mandatory admission interviews for professional or graduate school which cannot be rescheduled
- Participation in legal proceedings or administrative duties that require a student’s presence
- Death or major illness in a student’s immediate family
- Illness of a dependent family member
- Religious holy day if listed on www.interfaithcalendar.org
- Illness that is too severe or contagious for the student to attend class
- Weather-related emergencies
The course grade will be determined as follows:
| GRADE | RANGE |
| A | 90%-100% |
| B+ | 85%-89% |
| B | 80%-84% |
| C+ | 75%-79% |
| C | 70%-74% |
| D+ | 65%-69% |
| D | 60%-64% |
| F | below 60% |
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is mandatory. Penalties to your final grade apply as follows:
- Students missing five sessions without a valid excuse will have a penalty of 5 points in their final grade (this is equivalent to a half-letter penalty, e.g. from C to D+).
- Students missing seven sessions without a valid excuse will have a penalty of 10 points in their final grade (this is equivalent to a full-letter penalty, e.g. from B to C)
- Students missing nine sessions or more without a valid excuse will have a penalty of 15 points in their final grade (this is equivalent to a letter-and-a-half penalty, e.g. from A to C+)
- Dishonesty: Students whose names appear on the attendance sheet, but are not present in class, will have immediately applied an extra penalty of 5 points in their final grade.
Further Information

Learning Outcomes
A student who successfully completes Applied Calculus (MATH 122) will master concepts based on derivatives and integrals of elementary algebraic, exponential and logarithmic functions. Students will be able to solve (with and without the aid of a graphing calculator) applications involving maxima, minima, rates of change, motion, work, area under a curve, and volume. Students will be able to verbally interpret data given as graphs, tables, and equations, and put into words the relationship between a function and its derivative or integral.
