No late homework will be accepted. If you miss a class on the day homework is due, you may email it to me before the time it is due or send it to class with a friend.
There will be 5 regular exams during the semester. I will drop your lowest regular exam grade if you have 2 or fewer absences. Your grade will then be figured out of a total of 600 points. No individual make-up exams will be given. The final examination will be comprehensive and is required of all students except any student who has made an A on each of the 5 regular exams.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES (From Academic Course Guide Manual/Workforce Education Course Manual/NCTC Catalog
|
At the successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
|
|
1
|
Use the concepts of definite integrals to solve problems involving area, volume, work, and other physical applications.
|
|
2
|
Use substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, partial fractions, and tables of anti-derivatives to evaluate definite and indefinite integrals.
|
|
3
|
Define an improper integral.
|
|
4
|
Apply the concepts of limits, convergence, and divergence to evaluate some classes of improper integrals.
|
|
5
|
Determine convergence or divergence of sequences and series.
|
|
6
|
Use Taylor and MacLaurin series to represent functions.
|
|
7
|
Use Taylor or MacLaurin series to integrate functions not integrable by conventional methods.
|
|
8
|
Use the concept of polar coordinates to find areas, lengths of curves, and representations of conic sections.
|
All students at NCTC are assigned a student email address, also known as Lion Pride email. Lion Pride email can be accessed on the NCTC home page by clicking on MyNCTC, then the link “Lion Pride Email” to the left. After clicking the Lion Pride Email link, the Microsoft Office 365 window will open.
1. Enter your NCTC student e-mail address. (for example, Smithj123456@student.nctc.edu)
2. Enter your password (your NCTC Student ID Number, either 7 or 9 numbers).
3. From the list of Microsoft icons, choose MAIL.
4. You will be asked to set your language and local time zone (Central Time). Your account is now activated.
**It is the student’s responsibility to activate and regularly monitor the assigned NCTC (Lion Pride) e-mail account. Important announcements and notifications from the Admissions office, Financial Aid, or other college staff will be sent via the Lion Pride student email system.
For communicating with classmates and instructors, students also have an option to communicate through Canvas. Canvas messaging is NOT the same as Lion Pride e-mail. Failure to read and/or receive NCTC e-mails (either in Lion Pride or in Canvas) is no excuse for not complying with any school policy. Be sure to regularly check BOTH the Lion Pride email as well as the Canvas inbox for important messages and information.
Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies. It is the student’s responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval by the faculty member. Approved college-sponsored activities are also excused absences. The instructor is responsible for judging the validity of any reason given for an absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work. Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless the absence is documented and excused by the instructor. Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives. Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Last day to withdraw from a 16-week course with a “W” is Friday, November 1, 2019.
