I do notpreassign the number of students who will receive a specific grade. On the other hand,neither do I preassign the gradelines before seeing the distribution of grades. Gradelineswill be announced on the web, as soon as possible after the quiz or exam.Incompletes will be given only in cases where the student has completed all but asmall fraction of the course with a grade of C or better and a severe unexpected eventprevents completion of the course. In particular, if you get behind, you cannot “bail out”by taking an incomplete.No extra credit work will be accepted.All quizzes and midterms are closed book, with no calculators allowed, unless otherwisespecified. You may discuss homework with your classmates, even working on solutions,but the final writeup should be done individually.Generally, a student caught cheating (on any quiz, homework or exam) is given an“F” for the course, and a report is filed with the Office for Student Conduct and AcademicIntegrity. In particular, do not let anyone else use your clicker during a quiz. If you arediscovered to have done this, you will receive an “F” grade for the course.Liberal Education requirement: This course fulfills the Mathematical Thinking com-ponent of the Liberal Education requirements at the University of Minnesota. An im-portant part of any liberal education is learning to use abstract thinking and symboliclanguage to solve practical problems. Calculus is one of the pillars of modern mathema-tical thought, and has diverse applications essential to our complex world. In this course,students will be exposed to theoretical concepts at the heart of calculus and to numerousexamples of real-world applications.Clickers: Clickers are required in this
