Valencia Student Core Compentencies: Valencia faculty have defined four interrelating competencies (Think, Value, Communicate, Act) that prepare students to succeed in the world community. These competencies are outlined in the College Catalog. In this course, through classroom lecture and discussion, group work, and other learning activities, you will further your mastery of those core competencies. Additional information is available in the College Catalog (http://valenciacc.edu/catalog/04-05/default.htm on page 14). Required materials: Text: Calculus, James Stewart, sixth edition Calculator: TI-89 graphing calculator Optional materials: Student solutions manual Class Policies Preparation: Please be prepared for each class meeting by completing any homework from previous sections and reading the upcoming section in the textbook. Attendance: Class attendance is required beginning with the first class meeting. If you do not attend the first class meeting, you may be withdrawn from the class as a “no show”. Attendance is required and attendance will be taken every day at the beginning of class. If the student is not present at that time, he/she will be marked absent. Being late to class or leaving early is a disruption to the class and is discourteous to the professor and the other students. You should be on time to each class, complete all assignments and remain in class for the entire time unless prior permission has been given by the instructor to leave early. Students are responsible for all class materials and any announcements made in class whether or not they are present. Regular attendance and class participation are significant factors that promote success in this course. There will be no “excused” absences. College Withdrawal Policy: Students may only withdraw themselves up until the withdrawal deadline (November 5, 2010) for a grade of W. After that, instructors may only withdraw a student for excessive absences, therefore; students who do not withdraw themselves prior to the withdrawal deadline will be assigned whatever grade was earned for the course as their final grade.
