Course Materials
- Calculus and Analytic Geometry, 9th ed., Thomas and Finney, Addison-Wesley 1996, ISBN: 0-201-53174-7. This book has also been reissued as Thomas's Calculus, Alternate Edition 9/e, with new ISBN: 0-321-11771-9. The content of the two versions is identical; students may use either one. The reissued text is available through the MBS bookstore, or you can search for available copies of the 1996 printing here.
- Course Guide for Mathematics U600-222, Wilson, UW-Extension Independent Learning, available through MBS at direct.mbsbooks.com/uwlearning.htm (choose "Buy Materials", then "Independent Learning") or 800-325-3252.
- Student Handbook, available at learn.wisconsin.edu/il/studenthandbook/studenthandbook.pdf, or on paper by request to Learner Services, toll-free 1-877-UW-LEARN (877-895-3276).
Format of Course
The course consists of 25 lessons and 5 module exams. Each lesson consists of:
- A reading assignment from the text.
- Exercises to test your understanding of the material. (Solutions to these self-test problems are provided in the course guide.)
- A written assignment, from the text, to submit for grading and feedback.
Grading
| Score | Letter Grade |
|---|---|
| NOTE: The grading scale was revised on Nov 13, 2003. This grading scale applies to all students who complete the course after that date. | |
| 93-100 | A |
| 90-92 | AB |
| 83-89 | B |
| 80-82 | BC |
| 73-79 | C |
| 65-72 | D |
| 0-64 | F |
Each lesson and each exam is graded on a 100-point scale. The final score is computed as a weighted average, with the average of the lessons counting for 40%, and the average of the exams counting 60%. The exam average must be at least 65 for a passing grade. Assuming this is the case, the average of all your work is converted to a letter grade as shown in the table.
