LECTURE: Section 01
DISCUSSION:
The TA for each of the sections will schedule office hours for further assistance
TEXT: Early Transcendentals, by James Stewart, 9th Edition You will use Webassign,
an online homework system, which you access through Course Tools on Blackboard.
This course is participating in the Course Materials Initiative so you still have access to
your textbook and webassign is you took Math 151 or Math 152 here at UMBC last
semester. If you do not already own the webasssign and e-book from last semester, you
will need to buy it either at the bookstore or directly from webassign. If you already have
access, please go ahead and use it. You can buy the one semester version or the version
that will NOT take you through Calculus III.
HOMEWORK: It will be assigned each week through Webassign. You do not need a
class key for Webassign , you will be linked to Webassign through BlackBoard
ASSIGNMENTS automatically. Homework will be due each Tuesday evening and there
will be NO extensions.
READING QUIZZES: They will be worth up to four points each and you will collect up
to 100 points during the semester. They will be due the morning before lecture on the
section and it will be through Webassign the same as your homework.
TESTING AND GRADING: The usual 90-80-70-60 % grading
system will be used in this course. Time spent outside of class on
this course will be between 12 and 15 hours per week -
MINIMUM! POSSIBLE POINTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
QUIZZES:
There will be a total of 11 Quizzes given during discussion class on each Wednesday
except when we have Exams. The three lowest Quiz scores will be dropped. Quizzes
will be given in discussion each Wednesday and there are NO MAKE UP QUIZZES.
No notes or calculators will be allowed on the quizzes and Exams. There will be no
makeup quizzes for any reason. (If you will be missing any quiz days due to athletics or
religious holidays, please let me know your schedule so that we can make any necessary
alternative arrangements. If you end up with an extended illness or injury that will require
you to miss an extended period of time, please let me know right away; we don’t want
you to miss so many quizzes that it will end up affecting your overall grade.)
No notes or calculators will be allowed on the final exam. This course has a common
final exam, meaning that all sections of MATH 152 will take the same final at the same
time. The final will be cumulative. Date/time TBA.
If you are caught cheating on an exam or quiz, then your score on that exam or quiz will
be 0, and I will report the cheating to the university. Subsequent offenses would result in
steeper penalties.

GETTING HELP
There are many places to receive help with this course. Your fellow classmates, your
TA’s and I are your best help I believe. There is SIPASS which students have found very
helpful when they attend regularly. There is also the academic success center which
provides much help. The problem is that usually students wait too long to start getting
help.
Copies of my lecture notes, without the problems solved, will be on Blackboard under
Course Materials, Lecture notes. Once they are filled out during lecture I will post them
also.
I am still looking for ways to record my lectures and put them online.

Student Safety
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is understood that some students who are
enrolled in classes that have an in-person component may have or develop COVID-19
related health concerns coming to campus to attend those classes this semester. No
student shall be compelled to attend class or attend an assessment if they have COVID-19
related health concerns. However, for students enrolled in courses having a physical
presence component who anticipate not being able to attend the in-person class sessions
due to COVID-19 related health concerns, it is advisable to provide notice to the course
instructor at the beginning of the term so that alternate arrangements can be made.
Students enrolled in courses with an in-person component who develop COVID-19
related health concerns during the semester should immediately contact the course
instructor to discuss alternative instructional arrangements.
To help ensure that UMBC students are equipped for academic success, the Division of
Information Technology (DoIT) provides a wealth of resources and support, including
tips for getting online and minimum specifications to consider when purchasing a
computer (doit.umbc.edu/students). UMBC does require all students to be technologically
self-sufficient, which entails having a reliable personal computer (preferably a laptop
with webcam) and Internet access. Since UMBC requires all students to have a computer
and Internet access, financial aid may be used to meet this requirement. To learn more,
students should contact their financial aid counselor at financialaid.umbc.edu/contact.
Students enrolled in this course are expected to adhere to all UMBC policies, rules, and
regulations, including COVID-19 emergency health and safety rules, policies, guidelines,
and signage enacted for the UMBC community. For students attending in-person classes,
signage, policies, rules, and/or guidelines may include but are not limited to specific
requirements for face coverings, physical distancing, and sanitization, in addition to
efforts to reduce density efforts that involve reductions in seating and room capacity.
Please be aware that UMBC’s COVID-19 emergency health and safety rules, regulations,
policies, guidelines, and/or signage are subject to change as our public health crisis
evolves. Any violation will be subject to disciplinary action and may include but not
limited to immediate dismissal from the classroom, removal from the classroom and/or
campus, a requirement to work remotely, and/or sanctions and conditions
