Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

• Define, manipulate, compute, and graph any polynomial, rational, trigonometric, power, exponential, or logarithmic function
• Use fuctions to represent changing quantities
• Compute limits of algebraic expressions
• Appreciate the connection between the limit and the asymptotic behavior of a function
• Define the derivative as the limit of a difference quotient and appreciate its physical significance
• Compute the derivative of any function referred to in the first bullet above, and any combination of such functions
• Identify the ways in which a function can fail to have a derivative
• Apply the derivative to solve a variety of problems

Grading policy: Your grade for the course will be based on your performance on exams, quizzes, and homework (more information on these below). The number of points awarded for these is as follows.

Class attendance is required. In addition to new material, important course information will be given in class, and sometimes quizzes will be administered.

Spring 2022 start (synchronous). This course will start with remote synchronous instruction and transition to in-person instruction later. Currently, we are scheduled to begin in-person instruction on January 31st. Remote synchronous class sessions will take place on the assigned days and times of the course. The Zoom link has been posted on Canvas. Once in-person instruction resumes, we will meet in our assigned classroom on the scheduled days and times.

Expectations for Zoom meetings: In short, my expections for Zoom class meetings are the same as for regular classes on campus. Connect in advance to avoid being late. The class will start on time. Please turn your camera on, but feel free to use a virtual background as long as it is not too distracting. No recording or taking pictures/screenshots are allowed during class. Mute yourself when you are not talking. Find as quiet spot as possible and do your best to avoid distractions. Request that your family members do not disturb you during class time. Stay on task the whole time, until the end of the class. Please put away any phones and other distracting gadgets. No texting, etc. during class. Take notes (dedicate a notebook or binder to this class). However, questions addressed to the instructor are welcome at any time during class. I will frequently ask if there are any questions, but if needed, you may ask for a clarification at other times as well.

Homework will be assigned for each section. It is due a few days after the material is covered in class. To receive credit, you must show all your work, make sure your reasoning is clear, provide justifications when necessary, etc. Just an answer will not receive credit. A small number of randomly selected problems will be graded. It is very important to do all homework diligently in order to learn the material. If you are having trouble with your homework, get help from your classmates, instructor, and/or tutors. However, your homework must be your own work. No copying is allowed (copying will be considered cheating).

Quizzes will sometimes be given during class. Quizzes will not be announced in advance. They will be short and quick (5-10 minutes) and will test your knowledge and computational skills. You must be present in class (for the whole class period) in order to do the quiz. If you are late or leave early, your quiz grade may be lowered. No late quizzes are given unless you have a documented reason to miss class. However, two lowest scores are dropped, so if you miss just one or two of them, your zeros will be dropped. The quizzes are based on your homework. To do well on quizzes, do your homework diligently, check your answers, and ask questions whenever you miss something.

Exams: There will be three tests (50 minutes long each) and one final comprehensive exam (2 hours long). If for any reason you can not take a test at the scheduled time, please let your instructor know as soon as possible, and certainly before the test. See schedule for exam dates.

There will be one extra credit opportunity at the end of the semester. To be eligible for extra credit, you must attend class (and for Zoom meetings, have your camera turned on every class).

Extra Help: It is essential not to fall behind, because each class may use the material studied previously. If you have trouble with some material, seek help in the following ways:

• Ask your instructor, either in class or privately. Don't be shy to ask questions. If you don't understand something, chances are very high that somebody else doesn't understand that either. So your classmates will be thankful to you for aksing questions in class! My contact info is given on the course web page.
• Work with your classmates. Note: working on your homework together is allowed and encouraged, however, every student should learn how to solve all homework problems on their own.

Students with disabilities: upon identifying themselves to the University, students with disabilities will receive necessary accommodation for learning and evaluation. For more information, see http://www.fresnostate.edu/studentaffairs/ssd/.

Academic honesty: cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated in this class and any instances will be reported to the appropriate office. For information on the University's policy, see the University Catalog (section Policies and Regulations).

Honor Code: Members of the CSU Fresno academic community adhere to principles of academic integrity and mutual respect while engaged in university work and related activities. You should:

• understand or seek clarification about expectations for academic integrity in this course (including no cheating, plagiarism and inappropriate collaboration)
• neither give nor receive unauthorized aid on examinations or other course work that is used by the instructor as the basis of grading.
• take responsibility to monitor academic dishonesty in any form and to report it to the instructor or other appropriate official for action.

Disruptive Classroom Behavior: student conduct which disrupts the learning process will not be tolerated and may lead to disciplinary action and/or removal from class. Once we return to F2F instruction, all safety protocols must be followed. In particular, masks must be worn properly at all times. Failure to comply will result in removal from class and a report on disruptive classroom behavior will be filed.

Computers: At California State University, Fresno, computers and communications links to remote resources are recognized as being integral to the education and research experience. Every student is required to have his/her own computer or have other personal access to a workstation (including a modem and a printer) with all the recommended software. The minimum and recommended standards for the workstations and software, which may vary by academic major, are updated periodically and are available from Information Technology Services or the University Bookstore. In the curriculum and class assignments, students are presumed to have 24-hour access to a computer workstation and the necessary communication links to the University's information resources.
