Policies for UMKC Courses

Will I be dropped from class if I not attend class?  What happens if I do not attend class without communicating with my instructor?  Accurate Enrollment Records - Administrative Drop

Maintaining accurate enrollment records throughout the term is a partnership between instructors and students.  Instructors are responsible for verifying student attendance and participation within the first three weeks (16 week course) through the Attendance Verification Survey (administered through UMKC Connect) as well as maintain records of participation throughout the term so that the last date of attendance for students with recorded “F” or “W” final grades may be submitted.  Because student plans for enrollment sometimes change prior to the semester start, students not engaging in courses through the initial weeks of each course may be administratively dropped.  For more detailed information regarding the policy see: https://catalog.umkc.edu/undergraduate-academic-regulations-information/registration/administrative-drop-policy/

How do I get permission before Recording Class Sessions?

Instructor(s) may record class sessions for the sole purpose of sharing the recording with students who can’t attend class. Instructor(s) will take care not to disclose personally identifiable information from the student education records during the recorded lesson. Students are not permitted to record class sessions without written consent from the course instructor.

Is there Recommended Technology that I should have access to?

You will need access to the computing resources necessary to complete this course through personal and/or University channels (e.g., computer labs). Our course will take place within the Canvas LMS and utilizing various software technologies that facilitate interaction and communication. We can make alternate arrangements should your reason for being without computer access warrant an accommodation (note: travel for vacation/work does not necessitate accommodations).  Below is a list of some helpful computer requirements for full participation in this online class:
         • The latest version of Java
         • The latest version of QuickTime
         • The latest version of Adobe Reader
         • A current version of word processing software
         • A headset with microphone
         • A webcam
          • Google Chrome, Firefox, or Edge for Windows computers
          • Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari for Apple computers
Broadband Internet connection is preferred. Examples of broadband Internet connection are high-speed DSL or a Cable modem.

Required and Recommended Materials

1. MyMath Lab Access Code for the text `Calculus: Early Transcendentals’, 3rd edition, by Briggs, Cochran, Gillett and Schultz (Publisher: Pearson). Online access to the textbook is available through MyMath Lab: AA AUTOACCESS MYLAB CALCULUS, EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS AUTHOR: BRIGGS, ISBN:         9780135373125; STATUS: REQUIRED EDITION:3

You must enroll in MyMath Lab using  

Course Name: Math 220 Fall 2020 (Dr. Bani)

Course ID: bani-yaghoub64191

Web address: https://www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com/northamerica/mymathlab/

Notes:

(a) All UMKC students enrolled in MATH 220 are automatically charged a fee for the MyMathlab access code through AutoAccess, unless they already paid the fee in a previous semester.  Please search for the email from AutoAccess that contains the access code. You can contact AutoAccess at 816-235-1427 or email autoaccess@umkc.edu.

(b) Students who were previously enrolled in a Calculus class at UMKC do not have to pay for a new code, as long as the same edition of the textbook was used. They should use the same account they used in the past when logging into MyMathlab, and will not get asked for a code. Students who were charged by Autoaccess in a past semester for a code will not be charged again (but it would not hurt to check your student account).  Students who paid for the access code for the 3^rd edition of the book in a past semester, but did not do so through Autoaccess, will need to contact AutoAccess to opt out and ask for a refund.

(c) MyMathLab is an external tool required in this course and is fully FERPA compliant. Privacy Policy is available here: https://register.pearsoncmg.com/w3c/privacy.htm 

Pearson MyMathLab Student Support: https://support.pearson.com/getsupport/s/

2. Calculator:  A non-graphing calculator is required for exams. 

3. Microphone: During the course, you will be attending the Zoom meetings for lectures and group work assignments.  You must have a functioning microphone. (You might also use them to participate in your instructor's weekly Office Hour.) If your computer already has an internal webcam and microphone, please use them.

·         Compute integrals, extending the techniques of Calculus I to include integration by parts, partial fractions, improper integrals, and others;

·         Explain the definition of an infinite series as the limit of a sequence of partial sums, apply convergence tests to determine convergence/divergence/conditional convergence, and manipulate with power series and representations of functions as power series;

·         Apply the concepts of calculus to functions given parametrically and in polar coordinates; Develop an understanding of the rectangular coordinate system in 3D‐space and of the use of vectors.

How to Succeed in Calculus

1.       Calculus takes time. Almost no one fails calculus because they lack sufficient “mental horsepower”. Most people who do not succeed are unwilling (or unable) to devote the necessary time to the course.

2.       Do NOT fall behind. Follow the course schedule and complete the daily tasks.  “if you are in calculus, then you are relatively smart, you have succeeded in previous mathematics courses, and you are willing to work hard to do well.”

3.       Do many problems everyday & come to class every day.

4.       Go get help in My Math Lab, 24/7 Online Net Tutor (https://online.umkc.edu/students/tutoring/), Online Office hours and UMKC tutoring.

5.       Make calculus fun, Study with friends, classmates, and group members.

6.       Review algebra and trig. It all comes back with the addition of calculus. See for example https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Extras/AlgebraTrigReview/AlgebraTrig.aspx

7.       Again, do not be daunted by the calculus formulas. The only hard part of calculus is lengthy algebra and trig manipulations. Work on your algebra and trig skills.

8.       Work fast, but don’t panic! Take it easy and just think. Keep calm and concentrate. Understand all pictures or graphs and the equations will come.

9.       Practice, practice, practice — do problems! Make note cards of important formulas/concepts.

10.   Work hard & focus because you will be able to see your fruits the very next quarter. Hard Work Pays off!

Policy on make-up work

Only exceptional situations, such as a health emergency or a family crisis or participation in an athletic event, with adequate documentation, can be considered towards scheduling any kind of make-up work. If such a situation should occur, contact me as soon as possible to make arrangements.
