Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisite: MATH 1823 OR 1914 or satisfactory score on the math assessment.

Official University Policies: The syllabus below will serve as a general guide for the administrative policies governing the course. For a further details, refer to the Official University Policy

Catalog Description: Topics include integration and its applications; calculus of transcendental functions; indeterminate forms; techniques of integration; and improper integrals.

Required Materials: This course has been selected for the Inclusive Access program which provides less expensive digital course materials, easier access, and direct-delivery through your Canvas course. Your OU Student Bursar account will be billed directly for the digital course materials, which will include access to an eBook version of the course textbook (Calculus, 9th edition, by Stewart, Clegg, and Watson) and access to the WebAssign online homework platform (which we will use in this class). You will be able to access these digital course materials on the first day of class by following a simple set of instructions that will be provided in Canvas.

Additionally you will need: a functioning computer, smartphone, or tablet which allows you to connect to the course technologies (such as Canvas and WebAssign) and allows you to take photos for the purpose of digitizing written work for upload to Canvas or Gradescope; reliable daily internet access on your computer or other devices so that you can access your Canvas course, read the online eBook, complete online homework, and submit other coursework online.

Calculators are not required for this course and cannot be used on exams or quizzes, and we would encourage you not to become too dependent on a calculator when you are completing homework and other coursework.

Subject Material: We will cover parts of Chapters 3-7 of the text.

Learning Outcomes: After completing this course, students will be able to

Interpret the definite integral as the limit of Riemann sums.
State and apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Distinguish between definite, indefinite, and improper integrals.
Evaluate integrals using a variety of techniques including: basic rules and formulas, algebraic and trigonometric manipulation, substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, and partial-fractions decomposition.
Differentiate and integrate transcendental functions such as exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions.
Use integrals to solve application problems involving area, volume, and motion of an object along a straight line.
Identify and evaluate indeterminate-form limits using L’Hospital’s Rule along with algebraic techniques.
Communicate mathematical ideas clearly and persuasively through the use of correct terminology, notation, and logic.
Solve challenging and novel problems related to calculus and its applications using a variety of mathematical strategies.

WebAssign Homeworks: A total of 21 WebAssign homeworks will be given over the course of the semester. These homeworks are due at 10:00pm on the days listed in the calendar above. The homework assignments will be made available to students via WebAssign at least one week prior to the due date. See Canvas for further details on accessing the homework in WebAssign. At the end of the semester, your four lowest homework scores will be dropped. The purpose of this policy is to accomodate students who need to miss a homework deadline for any reason. At the absolute latest, the lecturer will accept any homework submissions made before 11:59pm on the listed due date. Of the 21 homeworks, 17 will contribute to your final grade. Each of these 17 homeworks is weight equally, and accounts for roughly 0.6% of your final grade.

Quizzes: A total of 10 Quizzes will be given during the course of the semester. These quizzes will be administer in person, during discussion hour, on the days listed in the calendar above. Students can only sit the quizzes during the discussion hour in which they are enrolled. At the end of the semester, your two lowest quiz scores will be dropped. The purpose of this policy is to accomodate students who need to miss a quiz for any reason. Of the 10 quizzes, 8 will contribute to your final grade. Each of these 8 quizzes is weight equally, and accounts for 1.25% of your final grade.

Exam Review Activities: In the week of each Midterm Exam, the instructor will host an Exam Review Activity during lecture. During these activities, students will work in groups on an active learning exercises. Cumulatively, the Midterm Exam Review Activities account for 1% of a student's final grade. A student will receive the full 1% for participating in 2 out of the 3 Midterm review activities, 0.5% for participating in 1 out of the 3 Midterm review activities, and 0% for participating in 0 out of the 3 Midterm review activies. Students must participate in the activities in person, during the lecture of their enrolment, for the full duration of class, in order for it count.

In the week prior to the student's Final Exam, the instructor will host a Final Exam Review activity during lecture. During this activity, students will work in groups on an active learning exercise. The Final Exam Review Activity accounts for 1% of a student's final grade. A student will receive the full 1% for participating in the Final Exam Review Activity. Students must participate in the activity in person, during the lecture of their enrolment, for the full duration of class, in order for it count.

Lecture Attendance: 2% of students' grades is associated with lecture attendance. This attendance grade is separate from students' participation grade for the exam review activities. So students will not receive credit for this part of their grade by participating in the exam review activities. Of the 30 scheduled lectures, 4 are exam review activity lectures. Students must attend 22 out of the remaining 26 lectures to receive the full 2% for lecture attendance. So, for each lecture that is not an exam review activity lecture, students will receive a contribution of roughly 0.09% to their final grade just by attending. Students cannot receive credit for attending a lecture unless they are enrolled in that section of MATH 2423.

To be eligible to receive credit for attending a lecture, students must attend in person for the entire duration of class. Students who arrive more than 10 minutes late will not be eligible to receive attendance credit for that lecture. Students who leave before class is dismissed will not be eligible to receive attendance credit for that lecture.

To help keep track of lecture attendance, the instructor will publish attendance assignments to Gradescope at the beginning each lecture. To be eligible to receive attendance credit for that lecture, students must complete the Gradescope attendance assignment before the end of class. Students should only complete the Gradescope attendance assignment if they arrive within the first 10 minutes of class, and do not leave before the class is dismissed. Habitually filling out the attendance assignment in cases when you did not stay for the entire duration of class, or did not attend class at all, is considered an academic integrity violation, and may result in the assignment of a failing grade for the class.

Exam Review Assignments: At least a week before each exam, the lecturer will publish a Review Assignment. These assignment will differ from the homework in that they will consist of written response, short answer questions, and students must handwrite their solutions to these assignments. Well in advance of the due date for a given assignment, students should navigate to Canvas and download the PDF files for the relevant assignment. Physical copies of the assignment will also be available for students to collect in lecture. Students may complete the assignment using paper and pen, paper and pencil, or a tablet device. After completing the assignment, students will make a digital copy of their assignment, and upload it to the relevant assignment tab in Gradescope. The Exam Review Assignments are due at 5:00pm on the dates listed in the calendar above. At the absolute latest, the instructor will accept Exam Review assignments before 7:00pm on the listed due date.

A student's lowest scoring Midterm Exam Review Assignment will be dropped in the computation of their final grade. Of the three Midterm Exam Review Assignments, 2 will contribute to a student's final grade. Each of these Midterm Exam Review Assignments accounts for 1.5% of the student's final grade. The Final Exam Review assignment will not be dropped. The Final Exam Review Assignment accounts for 3% of the student's final grade. Students who miss the deadline for the Final Exam Review Assignment may still submit the assignment before 7:00pm on the late due date listed in the calendar above. However, students who submit the Final Exam Review Assignment after 7:00pm on the initial due date will incur a 25% penalty on their submission. So a late Final Exam Review assignment will contribute at most 2.25% to a student's final grade.

Exams: The midterm exams and final exam are scheduled for Week 5, Week 10, Week 14, and the Monday of finals week. The dates of the Midterm exams are finalized. Your midterm exams will take place during the discussion hour time slots for your section on the dates listed in the calendar above. All exams for this course will be closed note/book, and cheat/crib sheets and calculators are not allowed. Students must bring a physical or digital copy of their Sooner ID card to all exams.

The Final Exam will be held on Monday, May 11th, 7:30-9:30 PM, in a location to be announced later. All sections of MATH 2423, regardless of instructor, will take the same final exam. All MATH 2423 instructors will collaborate on the creation of the final exam to ensure fairness. Final exam make-ups will be given only as required by Official University Policy. Do not schedule any conflicts with the final exam, including elective surgery, work, travel, or classes at other institutions.

Exam Versions: To safe guard academic integrity, there may be different versions of the Midterm and Final Exams given. All versions of any exam will consist of questions from the same range of topics and will be calibrated to the same level of difficulty.

Collaboration Guidelines: You might be tempted to work with others on your homework. Or consult the internet. Or ask someone who has completed the class. In the modern age, it is quite easy to find the answer to almost any question on any homework assignment in any class. Because of this, you need to adopt a personal credo that maximizes your growth as an intellectual. Here is what I ask: You make a serious effort on every single problem, by yourself, before you seek any help. When you do seek help, ask for small hints and push yourself to overcome your personal challenges with the least assistance possible. Never search the internet for how to do a problem. Never allow someone to give you too much of a hint. Never give someone too much of a hint. Never show someone how to completely do a problem. If you want to work with someone else, make sure both of you have put in serious time on the problem alone, and then note whom you worked with on your homework.

Academic Integrity: It is essential that every student adhere to the OU Academic Integrity Code. Penalties for violating the code vary depending on the circumstances but can include the assignment of a failing grade in the course or suspension from the university.

Grading Policies: Final grades will be calculated using the following weighting scale:

Formula

10% Homework
10% Quizes
2% Lecture Attendance
3% Midterm Exam Review Assignments
1% Midterm Exam Review Activity Participation
15% Midterm Exam 1
15% Midterm Exam 2
15% Midterm Exam 3
3% Final Exam Review Assignment
1% Final Exam Review Activity Participation
25% Final Exam

Your letter grade will be determined by your cumulative average at the end of the term and will be based on the following scale:

A	B	C	D
90	80	70	60

Students' grades are rounded to the nearest whole number before their letter grade is determined.

Final Exam Replacement Policy: If you earn a better percent grade on the final exam than you did on one of your midterm exams, then your lowest midterm exam score will be replaced with the higher final exam percentage score. This policy does not apply to students who violate the Academic Integrity Code during the semester. If a student must miss a midterm exam and, for whatever reason, the instructor is unable to accomodate them with a make-up exam, then this replacement policy will be used to accommodate their one missed exam.

Midterm Make-up Exam Policy: The instructor will not consider issuing make-up midterm exams unless he is required to do so by Official University Policy. The instructor is not obligated to give make-up midterm exam in any of the following circumstances: family emergencies, medical emergencies, car trouble, sickness. The reason the Final Exam Replacement policy exists is so that the instructor can grant accomodations to students who need to miss a midterm exam for any reason. The instructor advises that students do not miss midterm exam for reason within their control.

Protocol For Addressing Your Concerns About The Course
Concerns related to the course should be handled according to the official Math Department protocol which is summarised below:

Instructor : If you have any issues or concerns with the course, the first thing to do is to contact your instructor and set up an appointment to meet with them. Your instructor will work with you to resolve any issues.

Course Coordinator: If you have an issue that can't be resolved between you and your instructor, then you should contact the course coordinator, Dr. Malva Asaad. She can be reached via email at malva@ou.edu . Be aware that for most issues, she will refer you back to your instructor. It is acceptable to contact Dr. Asaad before contacting your instructor if your issue is of a sensitive nature or if your issue is with your instructor and you feel uncomfortable raising the issue with them directly.

First Year Math Director: If you have an issue that can't be resolved by the course coordinator, or if your instructor is the course coordinator, then you will be referred to the First-Year-Math (FYM) Director. Meetings with the FYM Director will be coordinated by Michael Hillerby (the FYM Administrative Assistant). He can be reached via email at mhillerby@ou.edu.

Drop Deadline and W/I Grades:
"W" (Withdraw) grade: Through the end of the twelfth or thirteenth week of the semester, undergraduate students can withdraw from a course with an automatic W. The exact "last day to drop" for a given semester is listed in the calendar above. No instructor signature or drop slip is required for a student to drop by the normal deadline. After the drop deadline, undergraduate students can only withdraw via petition to the Dean of their college. The petition process also requires the instructor’s signature with a passing-failing indication at the time the petition is filed. Note that a “failing” indication on the petition means that even if the petition is approved the grade in the course will be weighted in the GPA as an F. Later in the semester, if you are considering dropping the class, it is best to make up your mind before the drop deadline. It becomes much more complicated to drop after the deadline, and you are not guaranteed to receive a W.

"I" (incomplete) grades: The grade of I is not intended to serve as a benign substitute for the grade of F (or D), and is only supposed to be given if a student has completed the majority of the work in the course at a passing level (for example everything except the final exam), the course work cannot be completed because of compelling and verifiable problem beyond the student’s control (such as extended illness due to Covid), and the student expresses a clear intention of making up the missed work as soon as possible. To be considered eligible to receive a grade of Incomplete, the student must have completed at least 70% of the coursework at a passing level.

Current University policies require that instructors and the affected students execute an “Incomplete Contract” before a grade of I can be given. The contract makes clear: (1) what work is to be made up; (2) when the make-up work must be completed (which cannot be more than one calendar year from the assignment of the I); and (3) what alternative grade will be assigned if the make-up work is not completed. If the make-up work specified in the contract is not made up within one calendar year, then the alternative grade specified in the contract will be entered on the student’s transcript.

Considerate Conduct: Here are a few of our expectations for etiquette in and out of class.

Entering/exiting class: Please arrive on time and stay for the entire class/section period. If, despite your best efforts, you arrive late, please enter quietly through the rear door and take a seat near where you entered. Similarly, in the rare event that you must leave early (e.g. for a medical appointment), please sit close to the rear exit and leave as unobtrusively as possible.
Noise and common courtesy: Wait until class/section is over before putting your materials away in your backpack, standing up, or talking to friends. Do not disturb others by engaging in disruptive behaviour. Disruption interferes with the learning environment and impairs the ability of others to focus, participate, and engage.
Electronic devices: Please do not use devices (such as phones, laptops, and tablets) for non-class-related matters while in class/section. No visual or audio recording is allowed in class without the expressed permission of the instructor.
Messaging etiquette: You are expected to write as you would in any professional correspondence. Email and other written communication should be courteous and respectful in manner and tone. Please do not send/post messages that are curt or demanding.

Access and Opportunity: The instructor is committed to fostering a equitable learning environment for this course that supports a diversity of thoughts, perspectives, and experiences, and respects your identities, including race, ethnicity, heritage, gender, sex, class, sexuality, religion, ability, age, educational background, etc. The goal is to create an empowering learning environment where all students can thrive and succeed.

If there is anything the instructor can do to improve your access to the course resources please contact him, either in person, via email, or even in a note under the door.

The instructor expects that you, as a student in this course, will honour and respect your classmates. If you experience any sort of harassment or discrimination, please consider notifying the instructor as soon as possible. If you prefer to speak with someone outside of the course, you can also reach out to contact OU Report It!
