computer science. Calculus of algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions, with applications. Prereq: satisfactory
placement level, or pass M119 or M130. Prerequisite requirements are strictly enforced. Students not meeting these
requirements will be dropped from the class. No student who has received credit for M141 or M152 with a grade of C or

Text: College Algebra and Calculus An Applied Approach, 2nd Edition, Larson and Hodgkins, Custom edition, Cengage
Learning. This custom package of the book + Enhanced Web Assign access from the bookstore. Special pricing has been
arranged by the Math Department.
WebAssign: A new text purchased at the campus bookstore will come with an access card for WebAssign. Students
who purchase used textbooks or get their textbooks from a source other than the campus bookstore will need to purchase
an access code either from the bookstore or online directly from WebAssign.
Calculators: A small scientific calculator is recommended for this course. Use of cell phone calculators and
calculators with programming capabilities is forbidden in this course.

2. Grades: Grades will be determined using the grading scale below. Your letter grade is a measure of
your mastery of course material and your fulfillment of course objectives. You should keep all of your
graded work until final grades are posted. The “non-exam grades” category will contain your grades on
items that are not exams, such as WebAssign assignments, other on-line assignments, and in-class
recitation assignments.
Grading Scale: 90% ≤ A ≤ 100% 70% ≤ C < 73%
87% ≤ A– < 90% 67% ≤ C– < 70%
4 Tests for total of 60% 83% ≤ B+ < 87% 63% ≤ D+ < 67%
Non-exam Grades 20% 80% ≤ B < 83% 60% ≤ D < 63%
Cumulative Final Exam 20% 77% ≤ B– < 80% 57% ≤ D– < 60%
Total Possible 100% 73% ≤ C+ < 77% F < 57%
Final Exam: Attend the comprehensive final exam 8:00-10:00 am, Monday, May 6, 2013, in AMB 210.
All students are required to take the final exam. Students who miss the final without securing
permission ahead of time will fail the course. You need to plan ahead for the date and time of your final
exam especially regarding travel arrangements. There is not a common final for this course. Your
instructor writes the final for this class.
Attendance & Make-up Policy: Students will only be able to make up work in the case of their
unavoidable and verifiable absences. All petitions for make-up exams or make-up quizzes (by e-mail or by
phone) should be made within 24 hours of the missed exam if possible. If you miss a non-exam class
session, you should also use the materials that can be found on Blackboard and do your best to figure out
what content you missed (by office hours, by tutorial help, by textbook, or by reliable classmate).
Disability Services: If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a documented
disability or if you have emergency information to share, please contact the Office of Disability Services at
2227 Dunford Hall at 974-6087.
Math Tutorial Center: The Math Tutorial Center is in Ayres Hall G012. It provides free tutoring.

3. Academic Standards of Conduct:
All students are expected to abide by the University Honor Statement. In mathematics classes,
violations of the honor statement include copying another person's work on any graded assignment or
test, collaborating on a graded assignment without the instructor's approval, using unauthorized "cheat
sheets" or technical devices such as calculators, cell phones or computers for graded tests or assignments,
or other infractions listed in "Hilltopics". These violations are serious offenses, subject to disciplinary
action that may include failure in a course and/or dismissal from the University. The instructor has full
authority to suspend a student from his/her class, to assign an "F" in an exercise or examination, or to
assign an "F" in the course. See "Hilltopics" for more complete information. A report of all offenses will
be sent to appropriate deans and the Office Student Judicial Affairs for possible further action.
The Honor Statement
An essential feature of the University of Tennessee is a commitment to maintaining an
atmosphere of intellectual integrity and academic honesty. As a student of the
University, I pledge that I will neither knowingly give nor receive any inappropriate
assistance in academic work, thus affirming my own personal commitment to honor and
integrity.
