The textbook will be available at
Wheelock Books. You can also find used editions online (on Amazon.com,
for example), but please check to make sure that the edition matches the
one that we are using.
This is the same book used for Math 1 and will also be used in later calculus courses.
In determining your course grade, the assignment types will be weighted according to the following percentages. We will choose the option that gives you a higher grade. This way, lower midterm grades can be offset by a better final exam score. On the other hand, higher midterm grades will allow you to breathe easier entering the final because it will be worth the same amount as the previous midterms.

At the end of the term, we will drop your lowest quiz score and your three lowest daily homework assignments before calculating percentages.
As long as you attend class most of the time (at least twice per week) and are engaged, you will recieve full credit on participation. If you regularly miss class, we want to help ensure that you are able to catch up and will ask that you stop by office hours or tutorials. Doing so will allow you to obtain full credit on participation. All we want to do is give an incentive to continue to talk math with your classmates and us so that you do not fall behind. We will tell you your participation grade at each midterm to allow you to self-correct.
Exams and Quizzes: No help may be given or received on exams and quizzes. Both formats are closed book and you may not use your notes, a calculator, or any other electronic device.
Homework (Daily and Weekly): You are welcome to discuss your homework with your classmates, the instructors, and your tutors, but the final result should be your own work. While collaboration can be beneficial, you should not provide or receive complete solutions for problems. Calculators and other computing devices are also allowed, but remember that they will be unavailable on the exams and quizzes!
Students with disabilities enrolled in this course and who may need disability-related classroom and/or exam accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see your instructor before the end of the second week of the term. Students requiring disability-related accommodations must register with the Student Accessibility Service office (located in Collis Center). Once SAS has authorized accommodations, students must show the originally signed SAS Services and Consent Form and/or a letter on SAS letterhead to their professor. As a first step, if students have questions about whether they qualify to receive accommodations, they should contact the SAS office. All inquiries and discussions about accommodations will remain confidential.
Some students may wish to take part in religious observances that occur during the academic term. If you have a religious observance that conflicts with your participation in the course, please meet with your instructor before the end of the second week of the term to discuss appropriate accommodations. If further support is required, please contact Nancy Vogele (Nancy.Vogele at dartmouth.edu).
Students who expect to need schedule adjustments for athletic or other extracurricular commitments are similarly encouraged to meet with their instructor as early as possible in the term. Such adjustments are not always possible but are more likely with advanced warning.
Students with other concerns or schedule conflicts are also encouraged to meet with their instructor.
