Textbook:                 Calculus, Eleventh Edition, George B. Thomas, Addison Wesley.
Course Description: Includes an introduction to transcendental functions, techniques of integration,
improper integrals, infinite series and conics.
Course Objectives:        The student will demonstrate an understanding of the calculus of exponential,
logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions. The student will also develop a basic understanding of
advanced integration techniques, infinite sequences and series as well as selected topics from parametric
equations, polar coordinates, and conic sections. The student will be able to use a computer algebra system to
assist in calculation and visualization. For General Education Objectives, see
http://academics.georgiasouthern.edu/provost/instruction/gened_outcomes.html
Assessment of Course Objectives:           Student achievement will be measured through three hourly exams worth
a total of 66% of the course grade, a comprehensive final worth 24% of the course grade, and labs, quizzes, and
homework worth 10% of the course grade.
Grading Policy (varies by instructor): Grades will be assigned based on the percentage of points earned. A
student earning 90-100% of the total points will receive a course grade of an A, 80-89% a B, 70-79% a C, 60-
69% a D and below 60% an F.
Make-up Policy (varies by instructor): No make-up exams will be given. When a student misses an exam the
score from the final exam will be substituted for the missing exam score. No late homework will be accepted.
Attendance Policy (varies by instructor): Students are expected to attend each class meeting and pay attention but
attendance will not be taken. A student who misses class is responsible to find out what was discussed and learn
the material that was covered on the missed day. The instructor is not responsible for re-teaching material missed
by a student who did not attend class.
Academic Dishonesty Policy: Any student who exhibits academic dishonesty in any form will receive a
failing grade (F) for the entire course and will be reported to the University Judicial Officer. For a full
discussion of academic dishonesty, see the Student Guide at
