TA Office hours : Each TA will schedule at least 1 drop-in office hour per week.

Course description : the differential calculus and integration through the fundamental
theorem of calculus.

Textbook : J. Rogawski, Calculus: Late Transcendentals Single Variable Calculus Fourth Edition

Grading Scheme : At the end of the quarter your course average will be calculated as
the maximum of the following two grading schemes:

Scheme 1 Scheme 2
Homework: 15 % 15 %
Midterms: two midterms of each 25 % highest of the two midterms, 35 %
Final: 35 % 50 %

A total score of ≥ 90% will get at least an A−. A total score of ≥ 80% will be get at least a B−.
A total score of ≥ 70% will get at least a C−. The cutoffs may be lowered at the end of the
quarter but will not be raised.

Exam Dates : Midterm 1: April 28, 2023 Midterm 2: May 26, 2023
Final: June 12, 2023
Please see the canvas page for the course. Announcements and all the details will be on
Canvas.

ˆ Exams: You will have two midterms and one final exam. There won’t be makeups
for the exams. If you miss one midterm your grade will be computed using the second
grading scheme. The date of the final exam cannot be changed and determined by the
university. You must take the final exam in order to pass the class. During the exams
you are not allowed to collaborate and use your notes.

ˆ Homework: Roughly every week you will be assigned a set of problems via Canvas.
At the end of the quarter your lowest homework score will be dropped. Homework
submissions will be online. First homework submission due date will be Friday, April
14th.

UCLA Inclusive Access program: This course is part of the UCLA Inclusive Access
program. Your course materials are being automatically provided to you, digitally, through
Bruin Learn by the first day of class or upon enrollment. The materials are being provided at
a reduced and competitive price. You will receive e-mail from the UCLA Store (UCLA Store
¡no-reply¿@verbasoftware.com) with program details and cost sent directly to your email
address on file with the Registrar. It is your responsibility to read all communication coming
from the bookstore. Check your spam folder if not received.
Everyone enrolled in this course is automatically a participant to start and will have access
to the materials through 2nd week of class. Those remaining in the program after 2nd week
will be billed for the materials directly to their BruinBill account and will continue to have
accesses to the course materials. If you do not wish to participate in Inclusive Access, you
must opt-out by the Friday of 2nd week deadline or you will be billed. Those who opt-out
will lose access to the digital materials and will be responsible for obtaining the materials on
their own.
Do not pay for your materials through the publisher website unless you are opting out of In-
clusive Access. All Inclusive Access course materials will be billed to your BruinBill account.
Any questions regarding the Inclusive Access program can be directed to
[email protected].

Academic Accommodations: If you are already registered with the Center for Accessible
Education (CAE), please request your letter of Accommodation in the Student Portal. If you
are seeking registration with the CAE, please submit your request for accommodations via
the CAE website. Students with disabilities requiring academic accommodations should sub-
mit their request for accommodations as soon as possible, as it may take up to two weeks to
review the request. For more information, please visit the CAE website (www.cae.ucla.edu),
visit the CAE at A255 Murphy Hall, or contact us by phone at (310) 825-1501.

Academic integrity: You are encouraged to discuss the course material together. For
homework, you may discuss problems together but you have to be writing your own solutions.
Posting any of the assignments(exams, homework) on any websites (including Chegg!) is
forbidden. Please read the University policy on academic integrity in the UCLA Student
Conduct Code: https://www.deanofstudents.ucla.edu/Individual-Student-Code
Here is a message from the Dean of Students:
“With its status as a world-class research institution, it is critical that the University uphold
