Course Description
MAT 175 Calculus II 4-0-4
A continuation of Calculus I. Includes applications of the definite integral to areas, volumes, surface area,
arc length, moments and center of mass, separable differential equations and their applications, area
accumulation functions; volume; applications such as work and probability; improper integrals and
I’hopital’s rule; complex numbers; sequences; series; Taylor series; differential equations; parametric
equations polar coordinates and modeling. Prerequisite: Grade of “C” or above in MAT 170 or high school
Calculus or permission of Instructor. General Education: M.
2. Final Exam –
There will be a final exam given during the class period. It will be cumulative and worth 200 points.
Students with an 85 or higher overall average will not be required to take the final exam and will receive
the appropriate letter grade based on your current average. If you are not required to take the final but
take it anyway, your grade can only improve. The final course grade will be determined by whichever is
higher, the overall course average or the final exam grade. For example, if your overall course grade is a
75 and you earn a 90 on the final, then your final course grade will be a 90. Any student with less than
an 85 is required to take the final, and anyone required to take the final that does not do so will fail the
course.
3. Homework –
Homework will be assigned at the end of every class and will be discussed during the next class session.
The homework will not be collected and will not count in your overall grade; however, most quizzes will
follow exactly from the homework problems. You should plan to complete each assignment.
Homework should be thought of as practice in order to learn the material and to do well on quizzes and
exams.
4. Quizzes –
There will be 5 quizzes given throughout the semester with one being about every other week. Quizzes
will be announced ahead of time in class and will be administered at the end of the class session on the
date announced. If a take home quiz is ever given, you must be present during the entire class period to
receive the quiz, and you must be present during the entire class period in which the quiz is due. Failure
to meet this requirement will result in the forfeiture of you being able to take the quiz. THERE WILL BE
NO MAKEUP QUIZZES GIVEN FOR ANY REASON.
5. Cell Phones, Laptops, and any Electronic Devices –
These are not needed nor permitted in class. Please turn off all devices and store them away during
each class session. CELL PHONES ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR CALCULATORS. If you have a cell phone out
during a quiz or exam, it will be considered cheating, and you will receive a zero on that quiz or exam.
The first offense for violating this rule will be a verbal warning. The second, and subsequent, offense
will result in the reduction of your overall grade by 5 percentage points for each offense. If there is a
documented reason for a laptop, you must first provide the documentation.
6. Common Courtesies –
Talk with your friends before or after class but not during.
No headphones are to be worn in class.
Arrive on time with paper, textbook, calculator, and all electronics turned off.
No sharing of calculators is permitted. Each student must use/provide their own.
7. Extra Help –
If you find yourself struggling at any point during the course, please see me immediately! Be sure to
come to office hours for extra help. If you cannot make it during the posted office hours, please see me
after class or email me to make an appointment. The sooner you seek help the better!! You can also
take advantage of the Math Lab located in the Evans Library for additional tutoring services.

Grading Method
Numerical grades will be calculated by dividing the total points earned by the total points possible.
Exams 400 Points (4 best scores, 100 points each, worth 67% of your grade)
Quizzes 200 Points (5 quizzes, 40 points each, worth 33% of your grade)
Total 600 Points
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final 200 Points
Final course grade will be determined by the higher average between the exams and quizzes versus the
final exam.
Grading Scale
A 537-600
B 477-536
C 417-476
D 357-416
F 0-356
Attendance Policy
Attendance is an important part of the learning process. As such, you should attend the full class every
day. There is a direct correlation between attendance and your grade. Without regular attendance, it is
difficult to succeed in this class and you may miss important announcements regarding course material
and exams and quizzes. Students are expected to attend class in a regular and punctual manner. If you
miss class, it is your responsibility to get any missed work. Anyone attaining perfect attendance for the
entire semester will receive 20 extra credit points added on to their final points total for the class.
Disclaimer
All policies and subsections of this syllabus are subject to change and revision at the instructor’s
discretion. I reserve the right to implement missed tests and quizzes on a case-by-case basis. If you are
diligent with your work and attend lecture on a regular basis and participate actively in class, then I may
allow missed work to be made up. You may come to me and discuss your individual situation to see
whether it merits a make-up item or not. If you are habitually absent and are not performing well in
class, then the likelihood of you being allowed to make-up any material missed will be severely limited.
Again, this will be decided on a case-by-case, individual basis. All tests and/or quizzes that are permitted
to be made up must be done so before they are passed back to the rest of the class which is usually one
day.
