Communication: If need be, I will communicate with you through your FIU email account or Canvas; so be sure to check either often. Attendance: Attendance is mandatory for the first two weeks as per a new university university for UCC courses, which include multivariable calculus. Anyway, it is strongly recommended that you attend all class meetings. If you cannot attend a lecture, it is your responsibility to cover the missed material or to get the notes from a class mate.

Textbook: Thomas' Calculus, Multivariable, 14th edition, by Joel R. Hass, Christopher E. Heil, Maurice D. Weir. ISBN-13: 978-0134606088 ISBN-10: 0134606086. The material that I plan to cover includes all sections of chapters 12(Three-dimensional space, vectors), 13(Vector-valued functions), 14(Functions of several variables), 15(Multiple integrals), 16(Topics in vector calculus). The tentative order of material coverage is: 12(all), 14(all), 15(all), 16(all), 13(all). There are 38 sections; so we will try to cover as much as possible two sections on Fridays.
MyLabsPlus: How to login to Mylabsplus: Go to https://fiu-mlpui.openclass.com/ and login using your panther ID as the username. Use Forgot your password? link to create your password. If you already used Mylabsplus in your Calculus course (at FIU), you will have an automatic access to Mylabsplus . If it is the first time you will be using Mylabsplus, you must purchase an access code.
You can purchase an access code for MyLabsPlus at the FIU bookstore together with the textbook or as standalone item. Or you can purchase the code online directly from Pearson while attempting to use the MyLabsPlus site (valid credit card required) - this is the cheapest option. Please be advised that you MUST purchase a code with a specific ISBN or it will not work for the course. Note: Pearson can only support access codes purchased from the bookstore and directly through the publisher. Any issues that arise from materials purchased from a third-party vendor (Amazon, Chegg, eBay, etc) must be handled by that particular company. Access codes purchased through third-party vendors will not be replaced by Pearson. This policy includes stand alone access codes and access codes included within a packaged bundle.
If you are not able to purchase an access code immediately, you can use a temporary access code. A temporary access code can be obtained directly from the MylabsPlus site. A temporary access code is valid for ONLY 14 calendar days and it allows you to get started with your assignments on the first day of classes. After the code expires you will be prompted to enter the permanent code or purchase the code using a credit card. You will not be allowed to continue your course until a permanent code is entered. You cannot buy/enter a permanent code until the temporary code expires.

Early Alerts: The early alerts system is there to help you succeed in this course by detecting difficulties with the course early on in the semester, so that they can be addressed with your advisor. Here is how it works: if you are not performing well in the course or if you are frequently absent, I will inform your advisor so that you will be contacted to discuss either issue.

Tentative Schedule Algebra Review Integration review

Recommendations: Begin to do your homework from today, August 26, till the last day of class. Set your goal for the course right from the beginning, and work tirelessly toward it; do not let anyone or anything divert you from your goal. Many students have trouble passing this course because there are many different notions to assimilate within one semester. However, if you put the necessary effort into it, then you'll succeed. Be sure to always come to class well prepared to tackle the topic of the day; read the section(s) to be covered beforehand; doing this will make it easier for you to understand the material to be discussed in class. Do not fall behind; it might prove very difficult to catch up afterwards. Be sure to attend classes regularly, and to diligently deal with any questions or concerns you might have. Remember that I, the LA, and other free tutoring available are here to help you succeed; so do not be shy or afraid to ask questions about a notion that you do not understand; it is absolutely normal not to be able to catch every apple as it falls from the tree, but be sure to pick up those that have escaped your grasp. It is my responsibility to make sure that your questions and concerns are swiftly addressed to your satisfaction. Avoid being a passive learner; I expect you to be active in and outside the classroom by regularly coming to class well prepared, by doing the homework as we move along the sections, and by asking questions on concepts or homework problems that you find hard. To facilitate your progress with problem solving, it would be better to note down the homework problems that you could not solve as well as the reason why (maybe you did it and your answer was not the same as that of the solution manual, or you started and could not complete, or you did it differently than the solution manual and want to ckeck whether your approach is correct, or you could not even start); that would be very helpful when you raise questions about them. You will acquire the necessary skills needed to successfully complete this course by a semester long commitment to do the homework daily. I will do my best to help you, and I expect you to do your best. Do not wait until the eve of a test to try to catch up on every thing; it would be too late. After a test has been graded and handed back, be sure to discuss your mistakes with me or the LA so that you do not make the same mistakes in subsequent tests. "Never do tomorrow what you can do today. Proscratination is the thief of time''. Commitment+Effort=Success. Always do your best.

Evaluation:
- 14 homework assignments (graded homework assigned every Wednesday on Canvas and due every Friday in class; no late homework will be collected.)
- Four in-class tests ( W Sept. 25; W Oct. 09; W Oct. 30 ; F Nov. 22)
- Cumulative Final exam (Monday December 09, 12:00-2:00 in PCA 167.)

The assigned homework will amount to 10% of your course grade. The purpose of the assignments is to push you to do the practice homework problems listed above. You won't be ready for the tests if you only do the assignments. The four in-class tests will make up 60% of the course grade. The final exam is cumulative, and will be worth 30%. The first three tests will be held on Wednesdays and each will last 50 minutes. The last test will last the whole class time, that is, 1h 50 min. Arrange to be in the room about ten minutes before class starts; that would give you the time to cool down before starting the test. Anyway, take the good habit of arriving ten minutes prior to the start of each class meeting. Once you start an exam, you cannot leave the room until you're done. You will be required to produce a photo ID before taking any of the tests, and before writing the final exam. For students who took the four tests and submitted all of the 14 assignments, we will also use the alternate grading scheme: Term work 50%, and final exam 50%, whichever produces the highest grade. No calculators, or ipods, or pagers or cellphones orany other electronic device are allowed during the exams or class time; you are not allowed to use or check those devices during the exam or class time, they must be off. If you're caught with your phone or smart watch during an exam, it will be considered an act of cheating, and you'll get a zero on that exam. There will be no make-up for missed exams. If you miss an exam and you produce a doctor certificate indicating that you were sick and unable to write the exam, then the corresponding grade will be added to the final exam grade, otherwise, a zero will be recorded for any missed exam.

Grading Scheme

Letter	Range%	Letter	Range%	Letter	Range%
A	95 or above	B	83 - 86	C	70 - 76
A-	90 - 94	B-	80 - 82	D	60 - 69
B+	87 - 89	C+	77 - 79	F	59 or less

Academic Misconduct: FIU is a community dedicated to generating and imparting knowledge through excellent teaching and research, the rigorous and respectful exchange of ideas, and community service. All students should respect the right of others to have an equitable opportunity to learn and honestly demonstrate the quality of their learning. Therefore, all students are expected to adhere to a standard of academic conduct, which demonstrates respect for themselves, their fellow students, and the educational mission of the University. All students are deemed by the University to understand that if they are found responsible for academic misconduct, they will be subject to the Academic Misconduct procedures and sanctions, as outlined in the Student Handbook.

Incomplete grades:
It is extremely difficult to qualify for an incomplete grade. An incomplete grade is not a substitute for a failing grade. In order to be considered for an incomplete grade, the student must have completed at least 70% of the course and must be passing with a grade of C or better.

Important Dates:
November 4 is the last date to drop the course with a DR grade. It is of a great importance that you accurately assess your course performance prior to this date. The university is closed on Monday September 2 for Labor Day, Monday November 11 for Veterans Day holiday, and November 28-29 for Thanksgiving.
