Course Information
Description	This course is the basic study of limits and continuity, differentiation, optimization and graphing, and integration of elementary functions, with emphasis on applications in business, economics, and social sciences. This course is not a substitute for MATH 2413, Calculus I.
Prerequisites	MATH 1314
Learning Outcomes	Upon successful completion of this course, students will: 1. Apply calculus to solve business, economics, and social sciences problems. 2. Apply appropriate differentiation techniques to obtain derivatives of various functions, including logarithmic and exponential functions. 3. Solve application problems involving implicit differentiation and related rates. 4. Solve optimization problems with emphasis on business and social sciences applications. 5. Determine appropriate technique(s) of integration. 6. Integrate functions using the method of integration by parts or substitution, as appropriate. 7. Solve business, economics, and social sciences applications problems using integration techniques
Core Objectives	* Communication skills: Students will demonstrate effective written, oral and visual communication. * Critical Thinking Skills: Students will engage in creative and/or innovative thinking, and/or inquiry, analysis, evaluation, synthesis of information, organizing concepts and constructing solutions. * Empirical and Quantitative Skills: Students will demonstrate applications of scientific and mathematical concepts. * Teamwork: Students will demonstrate the ability to work effectively with others to support a shared purpose or goal and consider different points of view.

Course Policies
Instructor Policies	Homework: All homework will be done online using MyLabsPlus (free temporary access is available until September 2, 2019). You may log in at www.lamarpa.mylabsplus.com using your LSCPA user name. The password is your birthday. Example: If your birthday is June 2, 1985, then your password is Jun021985 (there are no spaces, but it is case-sensitive). Exams: There will be four exams scheduled at regular intervals throughout the semester. The dates for Exam 1, Exam 2, and Exam 3 will be announced in class at least one week in advance, while Exam 4 will occur according to the Final Exam schedule (it will not be comprehensive or cumulative). Expectations for the exams will be given in the form of a review during the preceding class meetings. Calculators: A simple, non-graphing, non-programmable scientific calculator may be used on exams, if needed (though cell phone use is prohibited in class, so their use as a calculator will not be permitted) .
Attendance Policy	Students are expected to be present and ON TIME for all class meetings, therefore attendance will be recorded at the beginning of each class meeting through the use of a seating chart established by the end of the first week. In addition to being present and on time for class, you are expected to be prepared and up to date in the material, remain for the entirety of each class meeting, and to be actively engaged in the daily activities and discussions. Students not present at the beginning of class will be counted absent for the day, NO EXCEPTIONS (tardy=absent). Students with 3-6 absences may forfeit some or all of their attendance grade, while students with more than 6 absences may be asked to drop the course (or receive an F). Any behavior which is disruptive or disrespectful to either the instructor or students in this class will not be tolerated, and anyone engaging in such behavior will be dealt with appropriately.
Academic Honesty	Academic honesty is expected from all students, and dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Please consult the LSC-PA policies (Section IX, subsection A, in the Faculty Handbook) for consequences of academic dishonesty.
Facility Policies	No food or tobacco products are allowed in the classroom. Only students enrolled in the course are allowed in the classroom, except by special instructor permission. Use of electronic devices is prohibited.
Important Information
ADA Considerations	The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the the Office for Disability Services Coordinator, Room 231, in the Madison Monroe Building. The phone number is (409) 984-6241.
MyLamarPA	Be sure to check your campus E-mail and Course Homepage using MyLamarPA campus web portal (My.LamarPA.edu). When you've logged in, click the email icon in the upper right-hand corner to check email, or click on the "My Courses" tab to get to your Course Homepage. Click the link to your course and review the information presented. It is important that you check your email and Course Homepage regularly. You can also access your grades, transcripts, and determine who your academic advisor is by using MyLamarPA.
Other	Makeup Exams and Quizzes, Homework Extensions, Extra Credit: Makeup exams and quizzes can only be arranged in the case of an absence caused by a University-related academic or athletic event, or a religious holiday, and arrangements must be made with me by the student before such absences occur. Failure to inform me of such absences beforehand will mean that you will not be able to make up the work. All other absences are considered unexcused. To account for emergencies, illness, and other unforeseen circumstances, I will allow a maximum of one exam score of zero caused by an unexcused absence to be made up within 24 hours of the missed exam, so long as appropriate documentation is provided (police report, hospital discharge papers, doctor's note, funeral program, etc). Finally, there will be absolutely no homework extensions granted or extra credit offered at any point in the semester for any reason whatsoever.
HB 2504	This syllabus is part of LSC-PA's efforts to comply with Texas House Bill 2504.
