Wed Dec 9 6-8:00pm,
The exam room is BSB 250.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Math 165 is a calculus course intended for those studying business, economics, or other related business majors. The following topics are presented with applications in the business world: functions, graphs, limits, exponential and logarithmic functions, differentiation, integration, techniques and applications of integration, partial derivatives, optimization, and the calculus of several variables. Each textbook section has an accompanying homework set to help the student better understand the material.

TEXTBOOK:

Calculus and its Applications, 11th Edition, by Bittinger, Ellenbogen, and Surgent.
MyMathLab access is REQUIRED for this course and the student has the option to purchase the text with MyMathLab or just MyMathLab

CALCULATOR:

A graphing calculator such as the TI-83 and TI-84 (including Plus models) is recommended, while a Scientific Calculator is required, such as a TI-30. More powerful calculators such as TI-89 or TI-nSpire, cell phones or any telecommunication devices are not allowed during exams or quizzes. Sharing calculators is also not allowed.

PREREQUISITES:

MATH 090 or a grade of C or better in MATH 121 or appropriate performance on the UIC mathematics placement test or a MATH ACT subscore of 27.

GRADING:

The course grade will be determined by Midterms, Quizzes, Homework Assignments, and the Final Exam shown in the table below. The grading scale of 90%(540 pts) for an A, 80%(480 pts) for a B, 70%(420 pts) for a C, and 60%(360 pts) for a D are guaranteed levels for each letter grade.

Two Midterm Exams	100 points each
Quizzes weekly, see details below	120 points total
Homework see details below	80 points total 40 MyMathLab + 40 Other
Final Exam	200 points
Total	600 points

QUIZZES:

Quizzes will be given every Thursday in discussion except in the week of a midterm exam, in this case the quiz will be given on Tuesday. Some of these quizzes may be given as takehome quizzes.

Quizzes will be graded on a scale of 10 points. Eight of these points will be based on your your actual quiz and two points will be assigned by your TA each week based on Tuesday and Thursday attendance, class participation and any small assignments they may give.

The three lowest quiz scores will be dropped. Due to this there are NO MAKE-UPS on quizzes. Missed quizzes count as Zero and will be dropped if no more than three.

HOMEWORK:

Homework 80 points total.

40 points - online MyMathLab homework.
40 points - random lecture quizzes, take quizzes assigned and collected in lectures, inclass group work, special written homeworks/projects assigned and collected in lectures.
These 40 points are accumulated from the following:
- Random lecture attendance will count 0 or 1 point each time it is taken. Based on points accumulated from when attendance was taken, if your total score for the course in below the guaranteed cutoff for a C and your lecture attendance score is below 80% then the best grade you can get for the course is a C. If you show up late or leave early on a regular basis then your attendance point should be zero.
- The random lecture quizzes will count as 0, 1, 2 or 3 points. These are given and collected in lectures.
  - 0: no show, leave early, come late,
  - 1: attend and participate in class but nothing for quiz work. Using electronic devices and talking during the the lecture in most cases is the same as not participating in the class.
  - 2: quiz work almost ok,
  - 3: quiz work good.
- Special written homeworks/projects assigned and collected in lectures will count more. Usually 10 points each.
