Instructors may have course-related expectations that further detail the policies and procedures outlined in
the UP Student Handbook. Any such expectations must be provided to students in writing (e.g., handout,
course site posting, syllabus) prior to or at the beginning of the class.
Traditional undergraduate students enrolled in UP courses are subject to the traditional undergraduate
student handbook for all non-course-specific policies and procedures.
CAPSS/DOSS Statement
UNW students requiring accommodations for academic support in association with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) are directed to notify the Disabilities Office for Support Services (DOSS) immediately
for approval.
In addition, CAPSS houses the following programs for further academic support:
ALPHA (writing and subject tutoring, N4012 651-628-3316)

Plagiarism Education
Students are required to view the Understanding Plagiarism video and complete the Understanding
Plagiarism Quiz prior to completing any of the course content. These items are located in the Welcome &
Orientation section of the course site.
Writing Standards
Writing requires a commitment to excellence in the development of content, grammar composition and
adherence to APA guidelines. Students are expected to submit well-written papers and assignments free of
grammatical and spelling errors. Unless otherwise instructed, all submitted papers for this course are
expected to be double spaced, use 12-pt. standard font, and be the assigned length, using Microsoft Word
format files.
Requirements
This course is delivered in an online format. The content for Calculus & Analytic Geometry II is divided into
a total of 13 lessons, each taking 1 week. Two weeks of the course are designated to take exams. It is
important to follow the instructions within this syllabus and the course site so you can stay on track with
your studies. In this course you are trained to use contemporary technology (such as Microsoft Excel,
Wolfram Alpha, and Desmos) to visualize and help solve business problems. The course uses exercises and
problem solving as the primary assessment tool.
Exercises (13)
Exercises give you opportunities to practice Calculus ideas without being graded. You can practice as many
problems as you want. The answers for most of the problems are given.
Quizzes (13)
For most week throughout the course, you will complete various quizzes related to weekly material, most
of which are drawn from the online textbook. These will help you gain and practice the skills necessary for
Integral Calculus problem solving. Beyond just seeking the correct answer, quizzes invite you to practice
until Calculus concepts, methods, and perspectives become nearly automatic and intuitive as you grow in
expertise.
For each weeks Quiz, download and complete the Quiz Sheet Word document from the course site. Then
submit your completed document in the respective assignment submission area.
Exercises may require you to write equations, produce graphs and charts, and make computations. You
may be required to use technology resources like spreadsheets, online graphing calculators, and online
computer algebra systems. All your work and solutions for all exercises in a given week should be
submitted as one Word document with screen shots showing how you used technology resources to reach
your conclusions. Any written or sketched work should be scanned in and added to the Word document as
images. Most equation computations should be made with a word processing equation editor.
It is highly recommended that you find a partner to complete this assignment. You may work
together. Each person should submit the final document. Only individuals and groups of 2 are allowed.
Instructions
1) Create an EXCEL sheet that will compute a midpoint Riemann Sum for the function f(x) = e^(-
x^2/2)/sqrt(2*pi) on the interval [1,2] with 5 sub-intervals.
2) Compute the midpoint Riemann sum for the number of sub-intervals (n=10, n = 20, n = 50, n =
100, n = 200) by modifying your EXCEL sheet. Find the absolute error for all computations and summarize
what you have found.
3) Find a formula that models the error of the midpoint Riemann sum.
4) Answer the question: How large does the number of subintervals have to be so that the error of
the midpoint Riemann sum is less than 0.0005?
5) Answer the question: If the number of sub-intervals is increased by a factor of 10, what is the
decrease in the error for the midpoint Riemann sum?
Essays (3)
Complete three essays related to a lectures, a devotional and a powerpoint presentation. Prompt
questions can be found on the course site. The essay should be at least 500 words and answer the
prompt question(s). Submit your completed Unit 2 Essay here using .RTF, .PDF or .DOCX format.
Midterm Exam
Complete the midterm exam. The exams must be completed in the week assigned. The exams is a
.pdf or .docx documents to be downloaded from the course site. The midterm exam is open-book and
not timed. You may use your online textbook (including formula sheets), graphing calculator, student
notes, course website(s), video(s), www.desmos.com and other course materials, but you may not
have assistance by any person or any other website (including www.wolframalpha.com) in
completing the exam. You may submit your work either scanned in a PDF file or entered in Microsoft
Word using the Equation Editor. Scanned documents should be submitted online all in one file. Your
course site may have tips or further information on submitting these documents. A late exam
receives a 10% deduction.
Final Exam
Complete a final exam at the end of the course. The final will emphasize concepts and computations
from the second half of the course, but be prepared for some problems from the first half of the
course. The final exam is located on the course site and must be completed by Friday of finals week.
Make sure that you are fully prepared for this exam before attempting it. The exams must be
completed in the week assigned. The exams is a .pdf or .docx documents to be downloaded from the
course site. The midterm exam is open-book and not timed. You may use your online textbook
(including formulas sheets), graphing calculator, student notes, course website(s), video(s),
www.desmos.com, www.wolframalpha.com and other course materials, but you may not have
assistance by any person or any other website in completing the exam. You may submit your work
either scanned in a PDF file or entered in Microsoft Word using the Equation Editor. Scanned
documents should be submitted online all in one file. Your course site may have tips or further
information on submitting these documents. A late exam receives a 10% deduction.
