For lecture specfic information, such as instructor and TA information, visit the Canvas page for your lecture.

To avoid spreading covid at least a portion of this course will be given remotely. You can find the needed Zoom information in the Canvas page of your course.

Important: We will be using Achieve for various assignments including weekly homework. You have to register for Achieve. The needed information on how to register and access Achieve through Canvas can be found here.

• Title: Calculus for Science and Engineering.
• Credit Hours: 4 (2 credits if taken after Math 10C). Credit not offered for both MATH 20C and 31BH; formerly numbered MATH 21C.
• Prerequisite: AP Calculus BC score of 3, 4, or 5; or, Math 20B with a grade of C- or better.
• Catalog Description: Vector geometry, vector functions and their derivatives. Partial differentiation. Maxima and minima. Double integration.

The required textbook for the course is

by Jon Rogawski, Colin Adams, and Robert Franzosa. You can access the E-book through Achieve.

We will cover most of the materials in chapters 11-15.

There are four types of assignments that you can access through Achieve (and Canvas):

• Reading: pre-class and ungraded.
• Guided learn and practice: after class and ungraded.
• In-class worksheet: these exercises and more are discussed during Discussion Sessions. Participation in Discussion Sessions is mandatory and it is a component in your final weighted score.
• Homework: weekly and graded.

To avoid spreading covid, we deviate from the initial plan of having two in-person "midterms". Instead there are 4 online quizzes. We still plan to have an in-person final exam, but this might change depending on the state of the pandemic at that time.

• Quiz 1. Friday, January 21 -- Topics include 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 12.5.
• Quiz 2. Friday, February 4 -- Topics include 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.5.
• Quiz 3. Friday, February 18 -- Topics include 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5.
• Quiz 4. Friday, March 4 -- Topics include 14.5, 14.6, 14.7, 14.8.
• Final exam. Saturday, March 12 (7p-10p)-- All the topics that are covered in the course.

For quizzes, you will be given exactly 40 minutes to complete in Canvas and you can start your exam any time between 8a-8p on the given date. There will be no makeup exams, but we will drop the lowest quiz score.

A few general policies for the exams:

• No calculators or other electronic devices are allowed during the exams.
• You may use one page of notes, but no books or other assistance are allowed during the exams.

Weighted Score. If the final exam is given in-person, your weighted score is the best of

• Sum of the best 8 out of 9 HW assignments (20%)+ Attendence in at least 6 out of 10 discussion sessions (4%)+ Sum of the best 3 out of 4 quizzes (40%)+ Final (36%),
• Sum of the best 8 out of 9 HW assignments (20%)+ Attendence in at least 6 out of 10 discussion sessions (4%)+ Sum of the best 2 out of 4 quizzes (30%)+ Final (46%).

If the final exam is given online, your weighted score is the best of

• Sum of the best 8 out of 9 HW assignments (20%)+ Attendence in at least 6 out of 10 discussion sessions (4%)+ Sum of the best 3 out of 4 quizzes (46%)+ Final (30%),
• Sum of the best 8 out of 9 HW assignments (20%)+ Attendence in at least 6 out of 10 discussion sessions (4%)+ Sum of the best 2 out of 4 quizzes (36%)+ Final (40%).

Possible Bonus. Because your feedback is very important for us, if more than 90% of the students fill out the CAPE questioner at the end of the quarter, all the students get one additional point towards their weighted score.

Discussion Session Attendence. If you do not attend at least 6 of 10 discussion sessions, you do not get any points for that portion of your weighted score.

Homework. The HW assignments are due on Sundays at 11:59p. Late submission: Note that for each HW assignment, late submissions are automatically enabled for 4 days after the original due date. There is a 5% cumulative penalty per day.

Letter grade. Your letter grade is determined based on your weighted score using the best of the following methods:

• A+	A	A-	B+	B	B-	C+	C	C-	D
  97	93	90	87	83	80	77	73	70	60

•  Based on a curve where around 29% of students get at least an A-, around 62% of students get at least a B-, and around 90% of students get at least a C-.

Regrade. You will be able to see the score of your final exam in Gradescope. After that, there will be a limited window of time during which the regrade request feature will be active. Please notice that the regrade request window is brief. Make sure that you make the regrade request during the allowed time if you want to make such a request. Please understand that while we will correct errors in the grading, we will not modify thegrading rubric or negotiate over partial credit after graded papers are returned to students.

Here are a few general comments that hopefully help you have a more successful education here in UCSD.

• Make advantage of office hours of your instructors and your TAs. You are in one of the best colleges, so why not taking advantage of all the good things this institution can offer you!
• You can get extra help from Supplemental Instruction.
• UCSD provides other sources of support as well. For instance Content Tutoring and OASIS.
• Any institution can only provide help and the right environment for growth, but it is YOU who have to do the work! Before every lecture go over the assigned reading and after every lecture do the assigned practices. More importantly make sure to do weekly homework assignements. Questions in the exams will be similar, if not identical, to the ones in your HW assignments.
• One of the important points of being in a good institution is having excellent colleagues who help you grow! So find freinds and study together: share your frustrations and work on your HW assignements. But at the end write your own solution: your own wording.
• Academic Integrity. Be fair to your friends! According to the UCSD Policy on Integrity of Scholarship, "no student shall engage in an activity that undermines academic integrity or facilitates academic integrity violations by others". According to the policy, you are not allowed to:
  • Complete, in part or in total, any assignment for another person.
  • Have any of your course work be completed, in part or in total, by someone else.
  • Plagiarize or copy even part of the work of another person or source and submit it as your own work.
  • Employ aids excluded by the instructor in completing any assignment.
  • Alter graded class assignments, then resubmit them for re-grading;
  • Submit substantially the same material in more than one course without prior authorization; and misrepresent, to your instructor, any aspect of your academic work.
  Students caught cheating will face an administrative sanction which may include suspension or expulsion from the university.
• Electronic computing devices. Graphing calculators and computer programs (or online computing websites such as Wolfram-Alpha ) can be very helpful when working through your homework. However, a calculator/computer should be used as an aid in learning concepts, not just as a means of computation. You can use these devices when working on math problems, but always keep in mind that any answers you give must be accompanied by accurate justification. Only a deep understanding of works of others can help you make the next breakthrough.
• Name and Gender Pronouns. UC San Diego is committed to supporting its students' name and gender preferences. Class rosters provided to your instructor and TAs have students' legal names, but we will strive to honor your request to be addressed using a preferred name or gender pronoun. Please let your instructor and TA know your preferences so that we can make changes to our records. (Certain university records may be beyond our ability to change, however.)
• Equity, Inclusion, and Respect. We are committed to the UC San Diego Principles of Community . "To foster the best possible working and learning environment, UC San Diego strives to maintain a climate of fairness, cooperation, and professionalism. These principles of community are vital to the success of the University and the well being of its constituents." The principles of community include (but are not limited to): "We affirm each individual's right to dignity and strive to maintain a climate of justice marked by mutual respect for each other." "We reject acts of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, and political beliefs, and, we will confront and appropriately respond to such acts." "We promote open expression of our individuality and our diversity within the bounds of courtesy, sensitivity, confidentiality, and respect." "We are committed to promoting and supporting a community where all people can work and learn together in an atmosphere free of abusive or demeaning treatment." Visit the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion for more information.
• Accomodations. The Office for Students with Disabilities is another resource in the campus. Students who are requesting accomodations due to a disability can get a current Authorization for Accomodation (AFA) letter from this office. Students are required to discuss accommodation arrangements with instructors and OSD liaisons in the department in advance of any exams or assignments.
