Text: Calculus Concepts, 4th edition, by Latorre, Kenelly, Reed, et al.
Students must supply their own graphing calculator.  Students are encouraged to purchase a TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 plus (all essentially the same calculator). Students who own other models should not expect the instructor to provide instruction on how to use the calculator..
The pre-requisite to the course is College Algebra with a grade of C or higher.
Attendance is taken and expected. I expected all students to get to class on time. Habitually tardy students may be refused late admittance. Please turn off beepers and cell phone and laprops. Students are expected to behave appropriately and obey the rules of conduct at FIU (see student handbook). Extra credit will be given for attendance and promptness.
Grading: There will be 4 tests and a required cumulative Final Exam (to be given on the date scheduled by the registrar) Each shall be  100 points for a possible grade total of 500 points. There are NO MAKE-UP exams. If you miss a test with an instructor excused absence, I will count the final exam as two grades. I reserve the right to add points to students who display outstanding class participation. (Grades will not be curved nor dropped)
