This course is the second half of the one-year sequence in calculus. We study the theory and applications of integration, sequences, series, and some results about differential equations.

We review the material in Chapter 5 of the text, and we cover most of the material in Chapters 6-11.

Basic Setup: All course resources discussed below can be accessed via Blackboard

In Blackboard, you will be able to access two sites - one corresponding to your lecture section MA 124 A1-A3, and one corresponding to the discussion section MA 124 B1-B6.

In the lecture section site, you will see the following tabs:

• Zoom Lectures - where you will be able to access links for the lectures and view recordings
• Pearson MyLab Math - which takes you to Pearson's site which hosts your online homework and E-text
• Campuswire - an online discussion forum where you can ask and answer questions about the course, homework, etc.

Lecture Sections: These sections are the weekly lectures (3 hours/week). All students must be registered for one of the following sections.

• A1 (Prof. Kimura): MWF 1:25-2:15 EST in STO B50
• A2 (Prof. Pollack): MWF 12:20-1:10 EST in STO B50
• A3 (Prof. Szczesny): TR 12:30-1:45 EST via Zoom only (Note A3 does not meet in person !)

• Synchronous attendance in lectures is not required but recommended. All lectures will be recorded and made available under the Zoom Lectures tab in Blackboard
• Students wishing to attend Prof. Kimura's or Prof. Pollack's class in-person must use the BU InClassLfA app

Discussion Sections:

• During discussion section, you will work collaboratively with your classmates on a worksheet based on the material taught in the previous week of lectures.
• You will be asked to submit the work you have done on the worksheets at the end of each discussion section.
• Synchronous attendance for the full duration of the discussion section is required. You must keep your camera on during the entire discussion
• There will be a quiz administered in each discussion section. You can only take the quiz in the discussion section that you are enrolled in.
• No make-up quizzes will be given for any reason other than work-restricted religious holidays. In particular, no make-up quizzes will be given to students having transferred into the course late. However, your lowest two quiz grades will be dropped at the end of the semester.
• There will be no discussion sections during the first week of class (and therefore no quiz) - discussions will begin on the second week.
• Zoom links for the discussion can be accessed from within the Blackboard site for each of the following discussion sections:

• B1: Mon. 4:30-5:45 pm EST via Zoom
• B2: Tue. 9:30-10:45 am EST via Zoom
• B3: Tue. 2:00-3:15 pm EST via Zoom
• B4: Tue. 5:00-6:15 pm EST via Zoom
• B5: Wed. 4:30-5:45 pm EST via Zoom
• B6: Thu. 9:30-10:45 am EST via Zoom
• B7: Thu. 2:00-3:15 pm EST via Zoom

Unit Tests: There will be three unit tests and a cumulative final exam. You will be given a 24-hour window within which to complete the tests and final exam. The test/exam schedule is as follows:

• No make-up exams will be given in the course, and you must take the tests/exams within the designated 24h window
• Please do not make travel plans until the final exam has been scheduled

Grading: Your grade for the course will be determined using the following percentages:

Getting help:

• You are strongly encouraged to post questions regarding course material and homework to the Campuswire online discussion site
  • Use the chatroom "Homework and math discussion" to ask questions about the material and homework
  • Use the chatroom "mixer" to introduce yourself to the class and for "social" posts
  • Use the lecture/discussion chatrooms to ask questions specific to that lecture/discussion
• You are welcome and encouraged to visit the online office hours of any of the professors teaching the course . Zoom links for office hours of Profs. Kimura, Pollack, and Szczesny will be provided in Blackboard.
• The Math & Stat department has an online tutoring room which will begin operating starting the second week of classes.
• The Educational Resource Center offers peer tutoring.

Pearson Tech Support:

• Pearson provides support services for MyLab Math related issues. You can contact them via Pearson Online Support or by calling the number 1 (800) 677-6337

Homework policies:

• The on-line homework is due weekly. MyLab Math clearly displays the day and time at which each assignment is due.
• For each on-line homework problem, we strongly recommend that you write out the problem on a clean sheet of paper, solve the problem step by step on your paper, and then enter your answer on-line. This approach will best provide you with a written record of how you solved the problems, a way to show someone your work in case you seek help on the details, material to use while studying for the tests and exam, and good practice writing out your work exactly as you will be required to on the quiz and exam problems.
• Extensions to on-line homework will not be granted for any reason (including a system freeze on the day the homework is due---start your homework early!). However, your lowest two homework grades will be dropped at the end of the semester.
• If you feel a question was graded incorrectly on MyLab Math, press the "How to report problem with MML" button and follow the instructions listed there.
• All homework and work submitted through MyLab Math must be your own. Doing otherwise will be considered a violation of the academic conduct code (see below).

Course announcements: All general course announcements will be posted to Campuswire. You are responsible for any information that is posted there.

Academic conduct: Your work and conduct in this course are governed by the Boston University Academic Conduct Code. This code is designed to promote high standards of academic honesty and integrity as well as fairness. It is your responsibility to know and follow the provisions of the code. In particular, all work that you submit in this course must be your original work. If you have a question about any aspect of academic conduct, please ask.

The LfA format, and in particular, the lack of direct proctoring during tests and exams has been interpreted by certain students as license to violate academic conduct policies. Please consider the following:

• We are well aware of, and constantly monitor sites such as Chegg etc. These sites have all cooperated with BU investigations into academic misconduct
• A large number of students this year have faced serious sanctions as a result of academic code violations

Important dates: In addition to the test dates mentioned above, please keep in mind that:

• The last day to withdraw from the course without a grade of W is March 1
• The last day to withdraw from the course while receiving a grade of W is April 2.
• March 18 and March 31 are Wellness days, on which no class will be held.
