MATH 232, Spring 2013, COURSE INFORMATION
TEXT: Calculus, Northern Illinois University Edition, Volume 3
(7th edition) by James Stewart.
PREREQUISITE: A grade of C or better in Math 230.
GRADING: Your grade will be based on a total of 600 points as
follows:
3 one-hour exams 300 points
Final exam 200 points
Homework/quizzes 100 points
FINAL EXAM: The departmental final exam is on Thursday, May 9th,
8-9:50 a.m. The place of the final exam will be announced later.
CALCULATORS: A calculator without graphing capability, text memory,
symbolic operations and communication ability will be allowed on
the final exam.
COURSE WITHDRAWAL: The last day for undergraduates to withdraw from
a full-session course is Friday, March 8th.
ACADEMIC CONDUCT: Academic honesty and mutual respect (student with
student and instructor with student) are expected in this course.
Mutual respect means being on time for class and not leaving early,
being prepared to give full attention to class work, not reading
newspapers or other material in class, not using cell phones or
pagers during class time, and not looking at another student's work
during exams. Academic misconduct, as defined by the Student Judicial
Code, will not be treated lightly.
DRC STATEMENT: Northern Illinois University is committed to providing
an accessible educational environment in collaboration with the
Disability Resource Center (DRC). Any student requiring an academic
accommodation due to a disability should let his or her faculty member
know as soon as possible. Students who need academic accommodations
based on the impact of a disability will be encouraged to contact
theDRC if they have not done so already. TheDRC is located on the 4th
floor of the Health Services Building, and can be reached
at 815-753-1303 (V) or drc@niu.edu.
