Note on class modes and the COVID-19 pandemic: This
course will consist of
fully in-person lectures and studio classes. The instructors and TAs hope to
provide an in-class experience for students as much as possible this semester.
However, at times, it may be necessary for classes to move online due to a rise
in COVID-19 cases on campus, or illness/isolation of the instructor or TA. We
will notify students as soon as possible if any classes will meet online. Any
sessions that move online, will use the Zoom
platform. We also strongly encourage students who are sick to stay home, so
that we can safely continue to offer as many in-person events as possible.
Students are strongly encouraged to vaccinate, mask, and test regularly to keep
our campus community safe.

Course
information: https://canvas.gatech.edu/ (Required) Textbook/Homework Access: http://www.mymathlab.com
MyMathLab Course Information: We will be utilizing MyMathLab
(MML) for homework and practice problems for quizzes and exams, through a
joint code for the Thomas Calculus text and the Lay Linear Algebra text.
In order to register, you
will need our course ID posted here to
enroll into the course on MML for your section. Here is the course ID
information: MyMathLab
Course ID: ( NOTE: Each section has its own course ID #.) Section N01: liu20375 Section N04: liu79992 Section N05: liu58677 Section N06: liu15195 Important notes on MML: · If
you already have an account on MyMathLab using this
combined textbook within the past 18 months, then you do not need to purchase
a new code. Login to your account on MyMathLab, select
the option to add a new course, and enter our course ID. · If you do not have a MyMathLab
account using the Thomas or Lay textbooks, or if your account is over 18
months old, you will need to purchase a new code for our course. Please refer
to the registration document, located in the “Files” section on Canvas, to create your new account. When
signing up for MyMathLab, it will be immensely helpful (for
grading purposes) if you will set your STUDENT ID to your USERID for the GT
system (i.e., your Canvas USERID, as in “gburdell3”, etc). MyMathLab comes with an entire electronic version of the textbook; it is your choice if you would also like to own the textbook in print. You may purchase a MyMathLab code either from the bookstore or on-line while registering at http://www.mymathlab.com. If you prefer to own a hardcopy of the text, the bookstore offers packages of MyMathLab combined with a loose-leaf or hardcover version of the Thomas textbook that is less expensive than purchasing the text and code separately. PLEASE NOTE: GEORGIA TECH HAS A SPECIAL CODE PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES BOTH TEXTBOOKS. THIS CODE CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED THROUGH THE CAMPUS BOOKSTORES OR DIRECTLY FROM PEARSON. CODES PURCHASED BY OTHER VENDORS WILL NOT WORK! Possible ISBNs for this text are: 9781323835029, 132383768X, , or 9781323837689.

Homework: |
There
are two components of Homework: 1) On-line Homework (with strict due day) through MyMathLab, counted for grades. 2) Self-review problems and extra practice problems for midterms
and final assigned on MyMathLab and they will not be collected. |
Quizzes
& Tests |
There
will be 5 online quizzes, two in-class midterms and one in-class cumulative
final exam. Quizzes are based on homework assignments and examples from
lectures, and tests will be more in traditional format. For quizzes and
exams, steps, reasonings, and relatively detailed calculations are required. |
Academic
Honesty |
All
students are expected to comply with the Georgia Tech Honor Code (the honor
code can be found at http://www.policylibrary.gatech.edu/student-affairs/code-conduct).
Any evidence of cheating or other violations of the Georgia Tech Honor Code
will be submitted directly to the Dean of Students. Cheating includes, but is
not limited to: · Using
an unapproved calculator, books, or any form of notes on tests. · Copying
directly from any source, including friends, classmates, tutors,
internet sources (including Wolfram Alpha), or a solutions manual. · Allowing
another person to copy your work. · Taking
a test or quiz in someone else's name, or having
someone else take a test or quiz in your name. · Asking
for a regrade of a paper that has been altered from its original form. |
Grading: |
Grades
will be based on the exams, quizzes, and on-line homework. Your
best four quizzes count for 20%;
Your better midterm counts for 30%, the
other midterm counts for 10%. Final
exam counts for 30%. If no curve is applied, your final grade will be assigned as a letter grade according to the following scale: A 90-100% B 80-89% C 70-79% D 60-69% F 0-59% |
Curves: |
When
it is needed, curves will be determined by the median of each recitation
section after final exam according to the end-of-semester grade distribution.
In this course, we will only apply curves on the overall course grades, but
not for any individual quiz or exam. |

Statement
of Intent for Inclusivity
As a member of the Georgia Tech community, I am committed to creating a
learning environment in which all my students feel safe and included. Because
we are individuals with varying needs, I am reliant on your feedback to achieve
this goal. To that end, I invite you to enter into
dialogue with me about the things I can stop, start, and continue doing to make
my classroom an environment in which every student feels valued and can engage
actively in our learning community.
