\section*{Textbook}
Thomas' Calculus, Second Custom Edition for the University of Pennsylvania (with MyMathLab access code!). Pearson. ISBN 10: 1-
269-96229-9 ISBN 13: 978-1-269-96229-2.  It must be bought in the University bookstore (this same text is used in Math 104 and Math 114). 
Don't buy the non-custom Penn version of the text because it won't be bundled with the access code to 
MyMathLab.

\section*{MyMathLab}

We will be using the MyMathLab website for portions of the homework in this class.  Since there will be homework assignments soon, you should make sure you can log in without any trouble as soon as possible.  You can go to \url{http://www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com/} to create an account; you will need the course code, which is \texttt{towsner20606}.  Detailed instructions are on the class Canvas site.

If you don't have an access code yet, you can request a temporary code which will give you access to the course for 17 days.  (If you can't figure out how, contact the professor for assistance.)  Whether or not you have an access code, make sure to get registered as soon as possible!

\section*{Exams}
There are three scheduled evening midterm exams, on Wednesday 9/24, 10/22, and 11/19.  The exams will be one and a half hours long (from 6:00pm-7:30pm).  If you have a scheduling conflict, let us know ASAP and no later than September 12th.

\section*{Grading}

\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{10\% Attendance/participation:} Half of this is just for showing up.  The other half will be awarded as long as you are not overly distracted or tuned out.
\item \textbf{15\% Pre-class preparation:} This is for doing the pre-class prepartion, including reading the textbook, doing pre-class problems, and participating in the online discussion.
\item \textbf{5\% Homework:} This is for doing the post-class homework.
\item \textbf{10\% Recitation Quiz:} This is for the quiz which will be given in recitation after you've finished the homework on a topic.
\item \textbf{40\% Midterms:} There will be three evening midterm exams.
\item \textbf{20\% Final exam:} The final exam will be held at the time designated by the registrar.
\item \textbf{0\% Gateway Exams:} There are two pass/fail ``gateway exams''.  It is necessary to pass them to pass the class, but they do not otherwise affect your grade.
\end{itemize}

\section*{Calculators}

Calculators will \emph{not} be permitted on any quiz or exam.  Calculators are permitted while working on worksheets, but are not required.

\section*{Special Accommodations}
The Office of Student Disabilities Service (SDS) is part of the Weingarten Learning 
Resources Center.  It provides accommodated exams and assistive technology (along with many other 
services) to students that self-identify in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the 
Americans with Disabilities Act.  Please see their website  
( \url{http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/lrc/sds/current_students.php} ) for more information.  If you expact to receive an accommodation, you are encouraged to contact me and SDS as soon as possible, and within the first two weeks of the course.

\section*{Code of Academic Integrity}
  The following is from the University's website on academic integrity  
``Since the University is an academic community, its fundamental purpose is the pursuit of knowledge. 
Essential to the success of this educational mission is a commitment to the principles of academic 
integrity. Every member of the University community is responsible for upholding the highest standards
of honesty at all times. Students, as members of the community, are also responsible for adhering to the 
principles and spirit of the following Code of Academic Integrity found here 
\url{http://www.upenn.edu/academicintegrity/ai_codeofacademicintegrity.html}   
If a student is unsure whether his action(s) constitute a violation of the Code of Academic Integrity, then 
it is that student's responsibility to consult with the instructor to clarify any ambiguities.''
