L'Hospital's rule.
 Find antiderivative of some
simple functions.
Course Structure: Mondays, Wednesday & Friday: 9:30 – 10:20 time slot will be used for lectures only. There will also be one Problem Solving Session per week
conducted by a Teaching Associate (TA). The attendance to these Problem Solving Sessions is not mandatory, but strongly recommended. The TA will also have his
own office hours.
Method of Evaluation:
Student learning will be evaluated on the basis of the following weighted components:
Midterm 1 20 % 97-100 = A+ 93-96 = A 90-92 = A-

Midterm 2 20 % 87-89 = B + 83-86 = B 80-82 = B-
FinalExam 40 % 77-79 = C+ 73-76 = C 70-72 = C-
Quizzes 10 % 67-69 = D+ 63-66 =D 60-62 =D-
Homework 10 % 0-59 = F
TotalPoints 100 %
So, the Grade Calculation Formula is:
Total=0.1* (Q+HW)+0.2* (M1+M2) +0.4*F
The final numerical score for the course obtained may or may not be scaled before it is converted to a letter grade. The instructor reserves the right to decide whether
or not to scale grades until the very end of the semester.
Besides, the instructor reserves the right to ask any student questions regarding the exams or quizzes if necessary.
Mid-Term Exam:
The course will include two mid-term exams covering topics from weeks 1-6 and 7-12, respectively.
The mid-term exams will consist of the following:
1) Multiple choice and short answers on basic terminology and concepts
August 2020 4
Calculus 1
2) Problem solving.
The purpose of the mid-term exam is to assess students’ progress in learning how to use terminology and apply appropriate models and methods to analyze data
samples. Students will receive feedback through the in-class mid-term review as well as written feedback on their mid-term exams. Students are encouraged to
attend office hours for more individualized guidance.
Final Exam:
The final exam will cover all topics covered throughout the course. Thefinalexamwillconsistofthefollowing:
1. Multiple choice and short answers on concepts and terminology
2. Problemsolving
The purpose of the final exam is to assess students’ mastery of concepts and terminology as well as their abilities to select appropriate methods and apply
econometric methods to analyze data sets and solve complex problems. Final exams and comments will be posted to Moodle. Students are welcome to confer with
the instructor for more individualized feedback.
Quizzes
There will be one quiz given in the class every two weeks. At the end of the semester the lowest quiz grade will be dropped. Quizzes will NOT be announced in
advance and NO make-up quiz will be given for the missed one.
Homework
You cannot learn calculus without working problems. You are encouraged to study with and discuss problems with others from the class, but write up your own
homework by yourself, and make sure you understand how to do the problems. Homework problems from your textbook and other sources will be assigned by the
instructor throughout the semester. All assignments will be posted every week on Moodle.You are allowed (and encouraged) to discuss homework problems with
classmates, but you should not copy someone else's solutions nor should you let someone else copy yours. No late homework will be accepted.
Library and Media/Technology Use

Students are encouraged to use supplemental online and reference materials available at the library to enhance their overall learning in the course. Students are
encouraged to use audio-visual aids and presentation software as appropriate. If students have any questions or need additional support in using library resources or
technology, they should confer with library staff, ICT, or the instructor.
Late Policy
Homework must be handed in on time. Late submission may be refused.
August 2020 5

Make-up Procedures
Make-up exam will be given at the instructor’s discretion. Students must submit convincing evidence of a medical or other emergency that makes completing an
assignment or taking an exam at the scheduled time impossible.
IMPORTANT:Students should have an activated Moodle account and check it regularly during the semester. Students are responsible for all information that
Instructors will be posting on the Moodle.
Policy on Grade Appeal

Students are entitled to appeal grades in line with the university’s Grades Policies policy which is available online atHYPERLINK "http://students.aua.am/student-
handbook/"http://policies.aua.am/policy/11
Standards for Academic Integrity

Students are required to conduct themselves in an academically responsible and ethical manner in line with the Student Code of Ethics. Acts of academic dishonesty
impair the academic integrity of AUA and create an unfair academic advantage for the student involved and other member(s) of the academic community. These acts
are subject to disciplinary measures as prescribed in the AUA Code of Student Ethics http://policies.aua.am/policy/10
The Student Code of Conduct can be found at http://policies.aua.am/policy/101
Special Needs:
Students requiring special accommodations for learning should contact the Center for Student Success by the end of the Drop/Add period with such
