COURSE FORMAT:
This course is an online offering. Each week, short lecture videos will be available to watch and live
sessions will be scheduled; these live sessions will be recorded. Additionally, homework (online and in
text) will be available.  Assessment will occur via weekly online quizzes, two midterm exams, and a
comprehensive final exam.  See Student Responsibilities for additional expectations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion, a student should be able to:
1. Use linear, exponential, and sinusoidal functions, as well as transformations, compositions,
inverses, and piecewise combinations thereof to model real-world scenarios.

2. Calculate or estimate limits of functions given by formulas, graphs, or tables.
3. Determine whether a function given by a graph or formula is continuous at a given point or on a
giveninterval or on its domain.
4. Determine whether a function given by a graph or formula is differentiable at a given point or on a
giveninterval.
5. Distinguish between the average and instantaneous rate of change and interpret the definition of
the derivative graphically.
6. Determine derivatives of some functions using the limit definition of the derivative.
7. Calculate derivatives of polynomial, rational, and common transcendental functions, and
combinations ofthese functions.
8. Calculate derivatives of composite functions.
9. Calculate derivatives of implicitly defined functions and inverse functions.
10. Give examples to illustrate important theorems.(Intermediate Value Thm, Rolle’s Thm, Mean
Value Thm, Extreme Value Thm, Squeeze Thm)
11. Apply the ideas and techniques of derivatives to related rate problems.
12. Apply the ideas and techniques of derivatives to finding local and absolute extrema.
13. Apply the ideas and techniques of derivatives to graphing functions.
14. Apply the ideas and techniques of derivatives to optimization problems.
15. Find linear approximations of functions (differentials).
16. Calculate the Riemann sum for a given function and partition.
17. Describe a definite integral as the limit of a Riemann sum.
18. Determine the antiderivatives of some algebraic functions and transcendental functions.
19. Calculate values of definite integrals using antiderivatives and areas.
20. Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to determine the derivative of an integral.
21. Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate definite integrals.

22. Use the Net Change Theorem to solve accumulation problems.
23. Determine the units and give the practical interpretation of derivatives and definite integrals.
24. Synthesize concepts from two or more separate sections of the text.
This course satisfies the General Education learning objectives Key Literacies and Critical and
Analytical Thinking.
CALCULATORS:
A graphics calculator/plotting program/computation platform is useful as a study and learning tool
when used appropriately, but it is not essential. Calculus is a collection of ideas that is not mastered
through calculator skills. Therefore, NO calculators are allowed on exams.
EXAMINATIONS:
There will be two 90-minute midterms during the semester and a comprehensive two-hour final exam
will be given at the end of the semester. All exams are proctored by HonorLock.

The proctoring software will use your computer's webcam or other technology to monitor and/or
record your activity during exams.  The proctoring software may be listening to you, monitoring your
computer screen, and viewing you and your surroundings.  By enrolling in this course, you consent to
the use of the proctoring software, including but not limited to any audio and/or visual monitoring
which may be recorded.
Exam Windows
When using HonorLock, you can take the exam anytime during the exam window.
Each exam follows the same protocols.
1. Exams are multiple choice, graded solely on a right/wrong scale.  Exams include both
computation and conceptual questions.
2. You will be given 90 minutes to complete the midterm exam, and 120 minutes to complete the final
exam.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
As a student enrolled in this course your responsibilities include the following:
Abide by Penn State’s policies on Academic Integrity.
Complete assignments on time and keep pace with the course.

Devote sufficient time and diligent effort to completing course work.
(The recommended investment is 10–12 hours a week, and more if you need to review algebra
concepts).
Contribute to the discussion forum, both by asking questions about concepts you struggle with
and by answering questions asked by others.
Participate in the recitation sessions and/or submit questions for recitation and view the recording.
Actively participate by seeking help and asking questions for clarifying concepts you do not fully
understand.
Use the quiz feedback and activity solutions to understand where you have the greatest difficulties
and follow up on resolving these.
COURSE MECHANICS:
Homework. The text will be primarily used to tie ideas to concepts and skills together. This will be
done through assigned readings and suggested problems. Some activities will stem directly from the
text.
Achieve Homework (graded) assignment will be done and evaluated online via Achieve. Access
code required for this online class.

information see DF grade
 (http://handbook.psu.edu/content/deferred-grade) .
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner.
Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at The Pennsylvania State
University, and all members of the University community are expected to act in accordance with this
principle. Consistent with this expectation, the University’s Code of Conduct states that all students
should act with personal integrity, respect other students’ dignity, rights, and property, and help create
and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their efforts.
Academic integrity includes a commitment not to engage in or tolerate acts of falsification,

misrepresentation, or deception. Such acts of dishonesty violate the fundamental ethical principles of
the University community and compromise the worth of work completed by others.Academic
dishonesty includes, but is no limited to, cheating, plagiarizing, […], facilitating acts of academic
dishonesty by others, having unauthorized possession of examinations, submitting work of another
person or work previously used without informing the instructor, or tampering with academic work of
other students. […] A student charged with academic dishonesty will be given oral or written notice of
the charge by the instructor. If students believe that they have been falsely accused, they should seek
redress through informal discussions with the instructor, the department head, dean or campus
executive officer. If the instructor believes that the infraction is sufficiently serious to warrant the
referral of the case to Judicial Affairs, or if the instructor will award a final grade of F in the course
because of the infraction, the student and instructor will be afforded formal due process procedures.
Based upon the University’s Faculty Senate Policy 49–20
 (http://www.psu.edu/ufs/policies/47-
00.html#49-20) , a range of academic sanctions may be taken against a student who engages in
academic dishonesty. Please refer to the Eberly College of Science Academic Integrity Policy
page
 (http://science.psu.edu/current-students/Integrity/Policy.html) for additional information about
the process and procedures.
Academic Misconduct
In this course, academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
Copying the work of another student on an exam, quiz, or assignment;
Passing off the work of another individual as your own;
Using non-approved devices or aids on exams, quizzes, or assignments;
Having unauthorized possession of exams or quizzes;
Engaging in deception in order to extend or reschedule an exam, quiz, or assignment;
Facilitating acts of academic misconduct by others.

When Academic Misconduct is Suspected
If a student is suspected of academic misconduct, the instructor’s duties are to:
Confidentially inform the student of the allegation;
Enter the charge and recommended sanctions on an Eberly College of Science Academic Integrity
form;
Ask the student to meet in order to review the form and discuss the charges and sanctions. The
student can choose to accept or contest the allegation at this point.
Note that a student’s refusal to meet with the instructor or respond to the charges within a reasonable
period of time is construed as acceptance of the allegation and proposed sanctions.

Once the Academic Integrity form has been accepted or contested by the student, it is sent to the
College’s Academic Integrity Committee for adjudication. A student cannot drop or withdraw from the
course during the adjudication process.
Sanctions
If a student accepts an academic misconduct allegation, or if (s)he is found guilty during adjudication,
probable sanctions include:
A warning and
Reduction of the assignment grade to zero or
Reduction of the quiz or exam grade to zero.
Additional sanctions might include:
Reduction in the final course grade;
An F in the course.
In addition, the student will be unable to drop or withdraw from the course.
Please see the Eberly College of Science Academic Integrity homepage for additional information and
procedures.

According to Penn State policy G-9: Academic Integrity
 (https://undergrad.psu.edu/aappm/G-9-
academic-integrity.html) , an academic integrity violation is “an intentional, unintentional, or attempted
violation of course or assessment policies to gain an academic advantage or to advantage or
disadvantage another student academically.” Unless your instructor tells you otherwise, you must
complete all course work entirely on your own, using only sources that have been permitted by your
instructor, and you may not assist other students with papers, quizzes, exams, or other assessments. If
your instructor allows you to use ideas, images, or word phrases created by another person (e.g., from
Course Hero or Chegg) or by generative technology, such as ChatGPT, you must identify their source.
You may not submit false or fabricated information, use the same academic work for credit in multiple
courses, or share instructional content. Students with questions about academic integrity should ask
their instructor before submitting work.

Students facing allegations of academic misconduct may not drop/withdraw from the affected
course unless they are cleared of wrongdoing (see G-9: Academic Integrity
(https://undergrad.psu.edu/aappm/G-9-academic-integrity.html) ). Attempted drops will be prevented or
reversed, and students will be expected to complete course work and meet course deadlines. Students
who are found responsible for academic integrity violations face academic outcomes, which can be
severe, and put themselves at jeopardy for other outcomes which may include ineligibility for Dean’s List,

pass/fail elections, and grade forgiveness. Students may also face consequences from their home/major
program and/or The Schreyer Honors College.

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: Penn State welcomes students with disabilities into the University's
educational programs. If you have a disability-related need for reasonable academic adjustments in this
course, contact Student
Disability Resources at 814-863-1807 (V/TTY). For further information, please visit Student Disability
Resources web site: http://equity.psu.edu/student-disability-resources/ .
In order to receive consideration for accommodations, you must contact SDR and provide
documentation (see the documentation guidelines at http://equity.psu.edu/student-disability-resources/).
If the documentation supports your request for reasonable accommodations, SDR will provide you with
an accommodation letter identifying appropriate academic adjustments. Please share this letter with your
instructors and discuss the accommodations with them as early in your courses as possible. You must
follow this process for every semester that you request accommodations.

CODE OF MUTUAL RESPECT AND COOPERATION: The Eberly College of Science Code of Mutual
Respect and Cooperation pertains to all members of the college community; faculty, staff, and students.
The Code of Mutual Respect and Cooperation was developed to embody the values that we hope our
faculty, staff, and students possess, consistent with the aspirational goals expressed in the Penn State
Principles. The University is strongly committed to freedom of expression, and consequently, the Code
does not constitute University or College policy and is not intended to interfere in any way with an
individual’s academic or personal freedoms. We hope, however, that individuals will voluntarily endorse
the 12 principles set forth in the Code, thereby helping us make the Eberly College of Science a place
where every individual feels respected and valued, as well as challenged and rewarded.

EDUCATIONAL EQUITY: The Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity serves as a catalyst and
advocate for Penn State's diversity and inclusion initiatives. Educational Equity's vision is a Penn State
community that is an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. If you wish to learn more or if you wish
to report bias, please visit the
Educational Equity website.

COUNSELING AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES: Many students at Penn State face personal
challenges or have psychological needs that may interfere with their academic progress, social
development, or emotional wellbeing. The university offers a variety of confidential services to help you
through difficult times, including individual and group counseling, crisis intervention, consultations, online
chats, and mental health screen- ings. These services are provided by staff who welcome all students
and embrace a philosophy respectful of clients’ cultural and religious backgrounds, and sensitive to
differences in race, ability, gender identity and sexual orientation.
