COURSE ASSESSMENT TOOLS. Calculators are NOT allowed on any of the exams.
1. Written (from the book) and Online (WebWork) homework, together 10% ,
2. Short quizzes in class, 10% (to be collected and graded, dates not announced in advance),
3. Two exams, dates to be announced, 20% each (lowest grade NOT dropped). Ill deduct a point
from your exam scores for each absence before the exam (attendance will be taken as class starts),
4. Comprehensive final exam 40%,
I will prepare the final exam, it will similar in format and type of problems to previous math 202 final exams.
A+: 97-100, A: 95-96, A-: 90-94, B+: 87-89, B: 84-86, B-: 80-83, C+: 77-79, C: 70-76, D: 60-69, F: below 60.
If you miss a short quiz you may take it in my office before the next class meeting. If you miss an exam,
first thing contact me and arrange to take it before next class meeting. Otherwise, a make-up exam is
generally to be completed within one week of the actual exam (and no later than last day of classes), and
only if you provide university acceptable documentation explaining your absence (this includes religious
observances). Your grade will be the result of your performance on homework, quizzes, and exams. I
will follow the departmental policy, and there will be no extra credit of any type.
WebWork: to be posted at https://webwork.ccny.cuny.edu/webwork2/202HYB2_f16/
Video Lessons: You are expected to watch the videos according to the syllabus below. The complete set
of videos is at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPaurYp0Zl_utm4eRJkKQUD4Py8npI8Wi .
You are expected to work the problems discussed in the videos, pausing the video when necessary.
Unlike live lectures, video lessons offer the student the opportunity to pause and replay the lesson,
which can be very valuable. Please note that in the description area of each video, youll find a link to
the pdf of the video notes. You can also download the full set of pdf files (zipped) at
http://math.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/pages?name=Math+202+Video+Lessons (google ccny math, go to 202)
If some of the above links do not work, go to the math dept 202 webpage and follow the links there.
http://math.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/courses?name=Math_20200 Note there, in addition to old final exams and
extra course notes (already listed above), also the Notes for Chapter 6, and Notes for Chapter 7.
BLACKBOARD. I post the list and due dates of homework problems (from the book, or online), and info
for coming exams at the Blackboard course site provided by CUNY. Keep in mind that only your
regular attendance will guarantee that you get all information that I give in class in a timely manner.
ATTENDANCE: Your regular class attendance is mandatory (this is not a web-based course). Short
quizzes will not be announced in advance. Please do not be late.
MATH DEPT: web page: http://math.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/courses?name=Math_20200 It has additional
previous final exams which you should review, well before the time for the final exam comes.
TUTORING: The Department of Mathematics Tutoring Help Desk, Marshak Sci Bld. room MR 418S.
Also, Engineering Tutoring Center, Steinman Hall 2M5. For a current schedule see

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY You should not copy from someone, or allow someone to copy from your
work, on exams/quizzes. Cell phones should be off in class. Read the statement on CUNY academic
integrity posted at https://www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/la/Academic_Integrity_Policy.pdf
If I have to, I will fail you or follow my duty to report you.
DEPARTMENTAL LEARNING OUTCOMES (to be filled out by departmental mentor). The mathematics department, in its varied
courses, aims to teach students to: a. perform numeric and symbolic computations, b. construct and apply symbolic and graphical
representations of functions, c. model real-life problems mathematically, d. use technology appropriately to analyze mathematical
problems, e. state (e1) and apply (e2) mathematical definitions and theorems, f. prove fundamental theorems, g. construct and present
(generally in writing, but, occasionally, orally) a rigorous mathematical argument.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (Contributes to Dept Learning Outcomes): The student is expected to acquire the skills which are
presented in the text and demonstrated by the instructor in class. These skills include the following, with associated departmental learning
outcomes( see below): 1. use of integration to compute areas and volumes of revolution. a,b; 2. solution of work problems. c; 3. use of
integration techniques to integrate. a; 4. use of the calculus of exponentials and logarithms. a,b; 5. definition and calculation of Improper
integrals. a, e1, e2; 6. use of L'Hospital's Rule. a; 7. sketching and integration using polar coordinates. a,b.
The following is the list of topics and exercises provided by the course supervisor, which I will follow closely.
