Course Description: Calculus I is based on the study of real valued functions of a single variable. The course topics include derivatives, antiderivatives, and, if time permits, definite integrals. Applications of differentiation, such as related rates, optimization, and curve-sketching, are also covered Learning Objectives: The content goal of this course is that students should learn the skills and techniques of calculus in regard to the following topics: limits and continuity, the definition of the derivative, derivative shortcuts, applications of the derivative theorems, and antiderivatives. In a first semester calculus course, students should broadly gain significant experience with • Functions as models of physical behavior, graphically, algebraically, and numerically. • Precise definitions. • Some proofs. • Lots of applications (to physics, economics, the sciences, etc.). • Visualizing data and functions graphically. • Numerical approximation (to curve fitting, data analysis, derivative, etc.)2 • The algebra of calculus (i.e. manipulations) Topic Covered: Chap 2 Sections 1-8 Chap 3 Sections 1-11 Chap 4 Sections 1-9 Chap 5 Sections 1-5 Chap 6 Sections 1-5 Exams: Three hourly examinations, and a comprehensive final. Exams will be taken using a lockdown browser through WebAssign. Webcam is required for proctoring purposes. Quizzes: Usually given once or twice a week. They come from previous days lecture and homework questions. I will throw out the bottom 10% of the scores when determining your final grade. Quizzes cannot be made up. Homework: The only way to learn mathematics is to work problems. So, with this in mind, assignments will be given daily and will be done on WebAssign. Grading: Your grade will be determined according to the following: Homework 10% A: [90-100] A-: [88, 90) Quizzes 15% B+: [86, 88) B: [80, 86) B-: [78, 80) Exams 45% C+: [76, 78) C: [70, 76) C-: [68, 70) Final Exam 30% D+: [64, 68) D: [61, 64) D-: [58, 61) F: [0, 58). How can I be successful? Whether you are new to the Online courses or have taken some in the past, your best course of action as early as the course is available is to really explore the course’s whole Canvas site.

Solution Center The Solution Center office is the entry point for students new and returning to the Fond du Lac campus. https://uwosh.edu/fdl/apply-pay-register/solutions-center/3 Tutoring Services For both the Fox Cities and Fond du lac campuses, all students are welcome to sign up for tutoring services online. Math and writing tutoring is available as well as tutoring in specific disciplines. For both tutoring in math and writing, drop-in online tutoring is available. For specific disciplines, tutoring is available by appointment. Academic Integrity: Academic Integrity is an expectation of each college student. Our campus community members are responsible for fostering and upholding an environment in which student learning is fair, just and honest. Through your studies as a UW-Oshkosh student, it is essential to exhibit the highest level of personal honesty and respect for the intellectual property of others. Academic misconduct is unacceptable. It compromises and disrespects the integrity of our university and those who study here. To maintain academic integrity, a student must only claim work which is the authentic work solely of their own, providing correct citations and credit to others as needed. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration and/or helping others commit these acts are examples of academic misconduct, which can result in disciplinary action. Failure to understand what constitutes academic misconduct does not exempt responsibility from engaging in it.
