A FIRST COURSE IN DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH MODELING APPLICATIONS, 9th edition, by Dennis Zill. Brooks-Cole

Prerequisite: Within the last three years: MAT 231 (Calculus II) with a grade of C or better. Calculator Policy: Most graphing calculators (e.g. TI-84, TI-83) are allowed, but symbolic manipulators such as the TI-89 or TI-Nspire CAS cannot be used during quizzes or tests. Important Dates: January 23: January 30: March 12-18: April 5: May 9-15:

Last day to add Drop/Refund/Audit deadline Spring Break Student withdrawal deadline Final Exam week

Homework: The homework lists contain textbook problems for each section covered. You are encouraged to form a small study group and work together on the homework problems. If you need help, please see the instructor during ofce hours or make an appointment at other times. Quizzes: Quizzes based on the homework, will be given most weeks. You will be allowed to drop at least one quiz. Quizzes cannot be made up. Grading Policy: There will be three tests (100 points each) and a two-part nal exam (100 points for each part). The quizzes grade will earn a maximum of 100 points. No make-up or early exams will be given. The second part of the nal exam is optional if and only if you meet all the following conditions: You have scored at least 73% on the rst three tests and at least 72% on the rst part of the nal You have not missed more than one quiz You have a combined average of at least 75% The score on the second part of the nal exam may be doubled to replace one of the rst three test scores, the quizzes grade, or to assign a grade for one missed exam. The score on the rst part of the nal cannot be dropped. Failure to show up for the nal exam will result in a score of zero. The course grade will be based on a maximum of 600 points for those exempt from the second part of the nal and 500 points for those who must take it. The following grading scale is guaranteed: The course grade will be based on a maximum of 600 points and the following grading scale is guaranteed: A: 90% average and at least 82% on the rst part of the nal B: 80% average and at least 72% on the rst part of the nal C: 70% average and at least 62% on the rst part of the nal D: 60% average

The cutoffs may be lowered slightly for a strong performance in the nal exam. For example, a student with an overall average of 78% and a nal exam score of 85% may be awarded a B.

 For privacy and security reasons, grades are not available over the telephone or by email. Attendance: Anyone who misses a class is responsible for obtaining needed information and should not expect to have the lecture repeated during an ofce hour. A student who stops attending will receive a grade of F if he or she does not withdraw from the class. Withdrawal: Students may withdraw from the course without instructors permission until April 5. This can be done online or by submitting a Registration Form at any Pima College Campus. Students who withdraw will receive W as a grade. For further information on how withdrawing will affect your academic record or nancial aid, please see an advisor or counselor. For students who wish to withdraw after April 5, a written and dated request must be submitted to the instructor on or before May 14.

Incomplete Grade: The grade of I is given at the instructors discretion if all the following conditions are met: You have completed at least 70% of the course You are unable to complete the course for unavoidable reasons and have provided documentation to justify the situation You have at least 70% average at the time the incomplete is requested You submit a request in writing on or before May 14. Incomplete grades that are not resolved within a year will result in a grade of F.

ADA Accommodations: Pima Community College is committed to providing accommodations for qualied individuals with disabilities in a timely and effective manner. To request a reasonable accommodation, students must be registered with the campus Disabled Student Resources (DSR) ofce. Accommodations will be made based on eligibility determined by Disabled Student Resources. Services can be requested at any time during the semester. Requesting services well in advance will help to ensure that resources are available when needed. Please contact a DSR ofce at 206-4500 or DSRhelp@pima.edu. Students that need special accommodations will be expected to take their tests during the time the other members of the class are taking the test. For those students needing additional time, plans should be made to start the test before class, or be prepared to stay after class ends.

Scholastic Ethics: Scholastic dishonesty will be dealt with severely according to the scholastic ethics code as published by Pima Community College. Students caught cheating on a quiz or test will receive a grade of zero on that quiz or test. A second occurrence of cheating will result in a grade of F for the class. Classroom Policies: ATTENDANCE/LATE ARRIVAL: Anyone who misses a class is responsible for obtaining needed information and should not expect to have the lecture repeated during an ofce hour. Once in the classroom, please do not leave until class has ended or a break is announced. Students who repeatedly enter and leave the room for whatever reason will be asked to leave class. A student who stops attending will receive a grade of F if he or she does not withdraw from the class. SCHOLASTIC ETHICS: Students are expected to adhere to the standards of behavior outlined in the Student Code of Conduct (www.pima.edu/studentserv/studentcode/). Students caught cheating on a quiz or test will receive a grade of zero on that quiz or test. A second occurrence of cheating will result in a grade of F for the class. ELECTRONIC DEVICES: Cell phones, ipods and any other electronic devices must be turned off during class. Penalties will be assessed for repeated violations.

Caveats: The instructor reserves the right to make changes to the syllabus and will notify students of those changes in class.
