Course Description and Coverage
This is the third course in calculus of a single variable. The topics we will cover are sequences
and series, numerical techniques, polar coordinates, parametric equations, and solids of
revolution.
Required Text
Calculus of a Single Variable, 10th Edition by Ron Larson and Bruce Edwards
Homework
Doing homework in this course is essential in order to pass the class. It is not a part of your
grade, nor will it be graded; however, doing the homework problems I assign is what will
prepare you for your tests and quizzes. In fact, the problems on your tests and quizzes will
either come directly from your homework or will be very similar to problems assigned in
homework. You should expect, and set aside the time, to spend at least 1 – 2 hours outside of
this class each day doing your homework. If making time for this course every day is going to
be a problem, you may want to postpone taking this course until you are able to set aside this
amount of time. I will try to spend time on most days in class to answer any questions you have
regarding your homework.
Grading Policy
Your grade will consist of the following components:
Test Average
40%
Quiz Average
35%
Final Exam
25%
There will be two tests, four quizzes, and a final exam during the quarter. Each test will take
about one hour, while each quiz will take approximately half an hour. Please see the attached
schedule regarding the days you will be taking tests and quizzes.
The following grading scale will be used to compute your final grade in the course:
A:
> 93 %
C:
74 – 76 %
A- :
90 – 93 %
C- :
70 – 73 %
B+ :
87 – 89 %
D+ :
67 – 69 %
B:
84 – 86 %
D:
64 – 66 %
B- :
80 – 83 %
D- :
60 – 63 %
C+ :
77 – 79 %
F:
< 60 %
This grading scale is subject to change at my discretion. I do not curve the grades of any of
your tests or quizzes, however, I reserve the right to curve your final grade in the course.
Attendance and Make-up Policy
Attendance will be taken each day for the purposes of keeping a record. If you miss class, you
are responsible for any information that is covered and any announcements made in class. If
you miss a test or quiz, you may make it up only with proof of a valid excuse and a make-up
must be scheduled with me within 48 hours of the missed test or quiz. There is a small window
of time during which a make-up will be allowed.

For Math 213, the focus SLO’s that apply are 2.1, 3.2, 3.4, and 4.1.
University Policies
Students are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures found in the CSUSB
Bulletin of Courses, 2014-2015, especially the section titled “Academic Regulations and
Standards” beginning on page 100. Pay close attention to the policy regarding add/drops,
academic renewal, cheating and plagiarism.
Cheating on exams could result in an F for a course grade and also sanctions by the University.
Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated.
Classroom Protocol
All electronic devices that will distract other students or the instructor must be turned off
during class sessions, quizzes and exams. Cell phones must be set to complete silence,
meaning that the ringer should be turned off and they should not be set to vibrate. If I see you
text messaging during class, I will ask you to leave, as it is very distracting to me. If this
occurs more than once, you will be subject to university sanctions.
If you need to leave a class session early please let me know. Also, in such situations, please sit
near the exit door as not to disturb your classmates. Any activity that is disruptive to me or any
students in the class is not tolerated. Such behavior will result in you being asked to leave class
and may result in a lowering of your course grade.
Support for Students with Disabilities
If you are in need of an accommodation for a disability in order to participate in this class,
please notify me and also contact Services to Students with Disabilities (UH-183) at (909) 5375238.
Important Dates
January 16: Last day to add open class without permission.
January 19: Martin Luther King Holiday (campus closed).
February 2: The last day to drop classes without record.
March 23: The last day of classes for the Winter Quarter.
Thursday, March 26: Final Exam (10:00 – 11:50 am)
Disclaimer: This syllabus, including the topics covered in this class and the dates for tests and
quizzes, is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor.
