MATH 111 Course Syllabus
- fall 2011
NJIT Academic Integrity CODE: All Students should be aware that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the University Code on Academic Integrity at NJIT very seriously and enforces it strictly. This means that there must not be any forms of plagiarism, i.e., copying of homework, class projects, or lab assignments, or any form of cheating in quizzes and exams. Under the University Code on Academic Integrity, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.
Math 111: Calculus I
Number of Credits: 4
Course Description: Topics include limits, differentiation, applications of differentiation, and integration. Effective From: Spring 2009.
Prerequisites: Math 109 or Math 110 with a grade of C or better -or- placement by performance on standardized entrance examinations.
Textbook: Thomas’ Calculus Early Transcendentals, 12e Media Upgrade (Bundled w/ MML SAK), by Thomas, Weir & Hass. Pub: Addison-Wesley, Pearson Education, Inc. © 2010. ISBN-13: 978-0321-62718; ISBN-10: 0-321-62718-0. The NJIT bookstore offers both a hardcover and a binder-ready version of the textbook. Either book is acceptable.
Extra Help For Math 111 Students
Before Exam #1
Due to the critical importance of the 1st common exam on Wednesday 9/21, the Mathematical Sciences Tutoring Center is providing drop-in tutoring available from highly qualified and experienced undergraduate and graduate students. All students who score a D or F on this exam will be moved to a less advanced course possibly delaying progress in their majors. The Mathematical Sciences Tutoring Center is offering this free help for students in Math 111 and Math 110 to give them the best possible opportunity to progress through the basic mathematics requirements for their majors without delay. Students should seek help early to give themselves the best chance for success.
- Monday: 10:00 – 5:30
- Tuesday: 10:00 – 8:00
- Thursday: 10:00 – 8:00
- Friday: 10:00 – 5:30
Tutoring Groups: The Mathematical Sciences Tutoring Center is an important resource for this course.Tutoring groups will be assigned according to the performance on exmas.

Drop Date: Please note that the University Drop Date November 3, 2011 deadline will be strictly enforced.
Attendance Policy: Math 111 meets four times a week; there are three lectures and one recitation hour. Recitation classes provide an additional opportunity for you to seek help with homework and concepts taught in class. Attendance at all classes (both lecture and recitation) will be recorded and is mandatory. Please make sure you read and fully understand the Department’s Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.
Homework Policy: There are two kinds of homework assignments: 1) online homework assignments on MyMathlab, which are listed in the syllabus, and 2) assignments that will be handed in to instructors. The MyMathlab assignments can be found online at www.mymathlab.com or www.coursecompass.com. In order to complete these assignments, you need to have a student access code. Access codes are included with a new book that is bundled with MyMathLab; codes can be purchased separately from the textbook at the campus bookstore or online at the course website. If you buy a new book from another source, make sure it is bundled with MyMathlab. The homework problems to be handed in can be found at m.njit.edu/~bukiet/M111/Math111-Fall-2011-HW.doc. Your instructor will tell you when to submit each problem set. NOTE: Homework assignments are DUE frequently (at least weekly) at the dates and times specified on the course website or by the instructors.

MATLAB Assignments: MATLAB is a mathematical software program that is used throughout the science and engineering curricula. Three MATLAB assignments will be given during the semester; tutors are available to help students having difficulties in accordance with a posted schedule.
Quiz Policy: Quizzes are given in class on a frequent basis (at least weekly). All of the quizzes will be graded. The homework and quizzes are intended to develop your problem-solving skills and to help you prepare for the exams.
Examinations: There will be three common midterm exams during the semester and one comprehensive final exam during the final exam week. Exams are held on the following days:
|
Exam 1: |
September 21, 2011 |
|
Exam 2: |
October 26, 2011 |
|
Exam 3: |
November 16, 2011 |
|
Final Exam Week: |
December 14-20, 2011 |
The time of the midterm exams is 4:15-5:40 pm for daytime students and 5:45-7:10 pm for evening students. The final exam will test your knowledge of all the course material taught in the entire course.
Make sure you read and fully understand the department's
Examination Policy.
This policy will be
strictly enforced. Please note that electronic devices (such as calculators, cell phones,
MP3 or CD players,
etc.) are not allowed during any exam.
Makeup Exam Policy: There will be No make-up EXAMS or Quizzes during the semester. In the event the Final Exam is not taken, under rare circumstances where the student has a legitimate reason for missing the final exam, a makeup exam will be administered by the math department. In any case the student must notify the Math Department Office and the Instructor that the exam will be missed and present written verifiable proof of the reason for missing the exam, e.g., a doctors note, police report, court notice, etc., clearly stating the date AND time of the mitigating problem.
Further Assistance: For further questions, students should contact their Instructor. All Instructors have regular office hours during the week. These office hours are listed at the link above by clicking on the Instructor’s name. Teaching Assistants are also available in the math learning center.
Cellular Phones: All cellular phones and beepers must be switched off during all class times.
