Math 1152
Calculus II
Spring 2022
Course Structure
Lectures
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays you will attend lectures in which new topics are presented and fundamental skills are reviewed. Lecture is a time for us to develop and discuss the big-picture ideas and get some practice solving both conceptual and computational problems.
Recitations
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, you will attend recitation on the previous lecture(s). Recitation will be a time for you to practice solving problems given on a recitation worksheet with the cooperation and support of your TA and peers. This is also where you can most easily ask questions about the course material from lecture, the textbook, or the homework.
Instructor
Your instructors will introduce themselves and post their contact information and office hour details in Carmen. Office hours are times when you can meet with your professor or TA to discuss any questions or concerns you have about the course material or related items. This includes asking for clarifications, questions about a particular problem, and following up on course material and assignments. You may also email your lecturer or recitation instructor with questions about the course but be aware that instructors may have other responsibilities during evenings and weekends and will generally return your email within 1-2 business days.
Course Prerequisites
Mathematics 1151 (with grade C- or better), equivalent transfer credit from another college or university as determined by Math Advising Office (https://math.osu.edu/undergrad/advising-office), or Course Code L on the

6. Become confident in using mathematics to analyze and solve problems.
Course Materials
Required Text: Ximera Calculus II (free online access through CarmenCanvas)
Required Homework System: Ximera (free online access through CarmenCanvas) The course uses Ximera for our textbook and online homework system. In all the Ximera assignments, you have as many tries as you need to get these answers correct and there is no penalty for earlier incorrect answers. Each interaction with Ximera can trigger an update to the Carmen gradebook. It is not finalized until the due date/time. Your score will be updated as you continue to answer more questions. Submissions after that due date/time are not accepted for credit.
Course Engagement Expectations
Continuous engagement with this course is essential to learning the material. You are expected to check Carmen at least once every 24 hours on weekdays. We know that you have commitments outside this class, but to be successful in this course you should plan on working on this course every school day. There are frequent deadlines (given on the Calendar), and you are expected to keep track of all deadlines. You are expected to work ahead of those deadlines whenever possible to prevent last-minute problems. You are expected to attend all lecture and recitation meetings.
Students who need to miss class or who are not able to participate due to illness (COVID-19 or other illnesses), exposure to COVID-19, care for family members exposed to COVID-19 or other reasons are expected to contact the instructor as soon as possible to arrange for accommodation. Students in special situations or those requiring specific, long-term or other accommodation should seek support from appropriate university offices including but not limited to:Student Advocacy,Student Life Disability Servicesand theOffice of Institutional Equity.
In-Person Course Format
Lectures and recitations for this course are in person. If you are unable to attend class due to a positive diagnosis, symptoms, or a required quarantine following contact tracing: Do not attend any in-person lectures or recitations. It is our intention that students who are unable to attend lecture in person due to illness will be able to attend class remotely, assuming that the classroom technology permits this. In the case that an instructor is ill or quarantined, class session may switch to online instruction.
Working with Others
We encourage you to work together on the Written Homework and any Ximera assignments. You are free to ask for help, but you are responsible for understanding the material. Exams will ask you for more than just calculations, so be sure that you understand the answers and explanations in your responses. On Midterms you are to work alone to demonstrate your understanding.
MSLC Free Tutoring Hours
The Math Stat Learning Center (MSLC) offers free drop-in tutoring. Everyone can benefit from drop-in tutoring. During the day, the MSLC’s in-person tutor rooms are a great place to work on math homework or study for exams. Students often use the space like a library with the added benefit of a tutor or peers nearby. During the evening, the MSLC’s zoom tutors can help assist with homework or review questions that arise. MSLC tutors
focus not only on helping you solve the problem at hand, but also work with you to build your understanding and knowledge to prepare you for exams. For information, please go to:https://mslc.osu.edu/ .
Grades and Assessment Information
We use an additive grading system for all assignments. That means each item starts at a score of 0 and you gain points by demonstrating your understanding. Grades are indications of how well the learning objectives were demonstrated across the assessments. Math 1152 will use a percent-based system to determine the overall course grade. Each type of assessment will count as a certain percent of your final grade.
For instance, the final counts as 20% of your final score. If you score a 90% on the exam, you will earn .9*20 = 18% towards your final grade. To compute your final course grade, calculate your score in each category and add together. (Note: Canvas will do this calculation for you, but the Canvas grade will not necessarily weight everything correctly until all grades have been entered for the semester.)

These grading cutoffs will not be raised. Individual assignments, including exams, will not be curved. The final grading scheme could be adjusted at the end of the semester. Class participation and effort will be important factors in decisions about borderline grades.
This grading standard will be used to determine your final grade unless adjustments are made at the END of the semester. Neither your lecturers nor your TAs are able to answer any questions regarding grade adjustments until after ALL of the course grades have been entered. |
Questions about Grades/Grading
Questions about grades, including online homework grades not updating in Carmen, must be reported within one week of the graded assignment being returned for consideration. Grading questions on Midterms and Written Homeworks should be submitted using the Gradescope Regrade Request system. Regrade requests are to be used to bringing grading errors to the attention of your instructor. A regrade request does not mean your grade will change, and decisions regarding regrade requests are final.
Graded Components
Midterms and Final Exam
Exams are a place for you to demonstrate what you understand about the learning objectives in the course. Work which does not demonstrate an appropriate understanding of the material and learning objectives is not considered justification. Answers without written justification do not demonstrate understanding of the material and will receive no credit.
Math 1152 has common evening exams (given outside of the regular class time) that will be given online. Exams will consist of true/false, multiple choice, short answer, and free-response problems. Students who have a regularly scheduled course which conflicts with the evening exam times must attended their regularly scheduled class. These students are eligible for and should plan to take a makeup exam. They will need to contact their lecturer for permission to take the makeup exam, which are scheduled for the following mornings.
Exam files will be made available on Gradescope at the beginning of the exam time, and your solutions must be uploaded to Gradescope before the end of the exam time. When you upload your file to Gradescope, it will give you a preview of your upload. You are responsible for verifying that your file successfully uploaded and that you uploaded the correct file. Uploading the wrong file will result in no credit. See the Gradescope info in the “Getting Started” module in Carmen for our Formatting and Late Upload policies.
If you have any issue during the exam, please email your lecturer immediately to document the issue. If you do not reach out until the exam is over, it may not be possible to address your issue. Please have access to Carmen announcements during the exam. Any issues that affect many students will be addressed through announcements. Students will not be allowed to retake any exam after they have accessed the original exam.
