Syllabus
UNE Summer Session
MAT 190 – Calculus – 6 weeks
Credits - 4
Description
This course is a study of the differential calculus of functions of a single variable, with an introduction to integral calculus. Topics include limits, continuity, derivatives of elementary functions, definite and indefinite integrals, techniques of differentiation and integration, and the applications of these concepts for modeling and problem solving.
Materials
Learning Objectives and Outcomes
Learning Outcomes: After successful completion of this course you will be able to demonstrate understanding of limits, continuity, derivatives, and integrals using algebraic, graphic, numeric, and verbal arguments with and without technology.
More specifically, you will be able to:
- calculate and/or estimate limits of functions algebraically, numerically, and graphically.
- estimate derivatives using average rates of change.
- estimate definite integrals using Riemann sums.
- evaluate derivatives and integrals using the appropriate rules, techniques, and theorems.
- demonstrate the connection between differential and integral calculus via the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
- model and solve problems in science that involve rates of change, optimization, volumes, and aggregate change.
Assignments
Homework assignments will be given as detailed in BrightSpace and linked to MyOpenMath. Homework assignments will be such that you may be able to reattempt them as many times as needed. Due dates will be suggested but late work for homework will be accepted until the end of the course.
- There will be two to three Quizzes per chapter based on need.
- There will be one Final Exam for the course.
- Grade Breakdown:
- Homework 40%
- Quizzes 20%
- Final Exam 40%

Policies
Summer Session & Academic Engagement Policy
Online students are required to submit a graded assignment/discussion prior to Sunday evening at 11:59 pm EDT of the first week of the term. If a student does not submit a posting to the graded assignment/discussion by 11:59 pm EDT on Sunday of the first week, the student will be automatically dropped from the course for non-participation.
Proctored Examinations
Your course may have proctored exams. For all proctored exams, an external camera is required. Please see the course for the exact exam requirements, test-taker guidance, proctoring format, and allowances (such as calculators or whiteboards, as indicated in the course).
Information about exam attempts can be found in your course.
Technology Requirements
Please review the technical requirements for UNE Online Programs: Technical Requirements.
Course Length
A schedule of lectures and assignments is included in this syllabus.
Courses in the program are equivalent to one-semester courses designed to be completed in 6 or 12 weeks.
- Enrollment in the course begins the day your section opens which is listed in the Academic Calendar.
- Course due dates, start and end dates are in respect to Eastern Time.
Withdrawal and Refund Policies

Transcripts
Due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, only the student may request official transcripts. This may be done online by going to the University of New England Registrar website and following the directions on the page.
Academic Integrity
The University of New England values academic integrity in all aspects of the educational experience. Academic dishonesty in any form undermines this standard and devalues the original contributions of others. It is the responsibility of all members of the University community to actively uphold the integrity of the academy; failure to act, for any reason, is not acceptable.
Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to the following:
- Cheating, copying, or the offering or receiving of unauthorized assistance or information.
- Fabrication or falsification of data, results, or sources for papers or reports.
- Action which destroys or alters the work of another student.
- Multiple submission of the same paper or report for assignments in more than one course without permission of each instructor.
- Plagiarism, the appropriation of records, research, materials, ideas, or the language of other persons or writers and the submission of them as one's own.
Charges of academic dishonesty will be reviewed by the College. Penalties for students found responsible for violations may depend upon the seriousness and circumstances of the violation, the degree of premeditation involved, and/or the student’s previous record of violations. Appeal of a decision may be made to the Dean whose decision will be final. Student appeals will take place through the grievance process outlined in the student handbook.
