LECTURER INFORMATION:
CONSULTATION TIME:

COURSE OVERVIEW: This calculus course is a standard calculus course for business students. The course covers onevariable calculus and its application to theoretical and practical situations in the areas of business and economics. The main
purpose of the course is to provide participants with the conceptual and computational mathematical background for further
work and study in business.
PREQUISITES: The pre-requisite for this course is MGMT 0101 Finite Mathematics.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon completion of this course students will be able to:
Manipulate, evaluate and analyze simple functions
Differentiate and integrate polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions.
Construct simple mathematical models using differentiation and integration as basis.
Apply differentiation and integration to real world problems.
Sketch graphs of polynomial and rational functions

ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS: Plagiarism is the unacknowledged presentation of the work of others as ones own.
To represent such work as self-created is dishonest and academically unacceptable. Plagiarised material will not be graded
and students will receive a failing grade for the following:
Quoting verbatim or almost verbatim from a source (such as copyrighted material, notes, letters, business entries,
computer materials) without acknowledgement;
Adopting someone elses line of thought, argument, arrangement, or supporting evidence (such as, for example,
statistics, bibliographies) without indicating such dependence;
Submitting someone elses work, in whatever form (such as film, workbook, artwork, computer materials) without
acknowledgement;
Knowingly representing as ones own work any idea of another
Preparation of Course Assignments and Assessments: The MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly
used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities and is the approved method for presentation of
written work at ROYTEC. Examples for the general format of MLA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes,
and the Works Cited page can be obtained at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/1 or MLA Handbook for
Writers of Research Papers (7th ed.) and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (3rd ed.), which are
available in the Library. Students may also refer to the text used in the course ENGL 0105 Business Communication, Kolin,
Philip. Successful Writing at Work. Boston: Houghton-Mifflin., 2004. Students are reminded that direct quotations, facts and
figures, as well as ideas and theories, from both published and unpublished works must be referenced. Referencing is a
standard method of acknowledging sources of information and ideas that have been used in assignments in a way that
uniquely identifies their source. Penalties for failure to reference your work will be applied under ROYTECs Policy on
Plagiarism.
You are responsible for making yourself familiar with the Academic Regulations Handbook, ACADEMIC OFFENCES
(Plagiarism) which is available online at www.roytec.edu in the Student Services section. Academic dishonesty also
includes a failure on your part to keep your current and past assignments out of the hands of other students who may
misrepresent their origins. It is also recommended that you keep a record and/or rough drafts of written or other work until
you have received your final grade.
Notices and Communication: Please note that all official notices to students will be posted in the Student Services section
of the website www.roytec.edu and on the student server at http://myroytec.roytec.edu where other class materials can
also be accessed. You are encouraged to regularly check the websites and other Notice Boards located in the classrooms and
throughout the building for changes and new information to students.
Missed Test/ Late Submissions: No make-up test will be given. If the scheduled test is missed, the student will receive
zero for that particular test. All papers are due on the date assigned. Failure to complete any of the course assignments
would affect your final course grade as you will receive zero for the particular assignment
ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION (5%)
Attendance: Each student is expected to attend all scheduled classes (lectures, laboratory, tutorial sessions, and make up
classes). Any student whose attendance falls below 100% will forfeit marks up to the maximum percentage which has been
allocated for Attendance and Participation.
All cases of absenteeism will be reported to the ROYTEC Board of Examiners and to the relevant Government Ministry if
GATE Funding is applicable, and also to other sponsors. You are reminded that signing the Attendance Register for another
student is an academic offence. Lecturers may mark a student absent where such student signs the attendance register and
leaves the class. In such cases, the student has the right to appeal using the ROYTEC Student Appeals Procedure as published
in the Student Handbook and the ROYTEC Website www.roytec.edu. Attendance alone does not count for participation
credit.
Each student must attend a minimum of 50% of all scheduled lectures in order to be eligible to write the final
examination in each course.

Punctuality at lectures is absolutely essential. Students arriving late disrupt the learning environment. Therefore, each student
is expected to be present at least ten (10) minutes before the scheduled start time of each lecture, laboratory and tutorial
sessions.
Participation: The quality of your contribution will weigh more heavily than the quantity in the evaluation of participation.
Failure to attend classes on a regular basis and actively participate could affect your final grade. Quality comments must
possess one or more of the following attributes:
a) They offer a different, unique and relevant perspective on the issue;
b) They respond to the current flow of the discussion and enhance it;
c) They move the discussion and analysis forward;
d) They build on others comments; and
e) They demonstrate critical or reflective thinking.
You are expected to be well prepared for each class. For class discussions, you should be ready to:
a) clearly articulate your views/comments/criticisms based on well reasoned rationale.
b) thoughtfully evaluate the ideas of others.
FINAL EXAMINATION (50%)
The final examination will cover the entire course syllabus. Please observe the Guidelines, Rules and Regulations for the
conduct of Final Examinations, refer to your Academic Regulations Handbook EXAMINATIONS available online at
www.roytec.edu in the Student Services Section.
