UNE Summer Session
MATH 1021: Calculus II – Summer Session
Credits - 4
Description
This course continues the study of calculus. More techniques of integration will be investigated in this course. The concepts of limits, differentiation, and integration will be applied to problems in differential equations, sequences, series, and Taylor series. Parametric equations, polar coordinates, and vectors will also be introduced. (Calculus 1 is a prerequisite for this course).
Resources Section/Technology
Students will be instructed in utilization of technology. Online, freely available technology will often be recommended. Student calculations will be submitted via WebAssign mathematical editor for online homework. Students will utilize email and/or Blackboard for written communication.
Prerequisite Knowledge
An understanding of the topics and core concepts in Calculus I is prerequisite knowledge for Calculus II.
Materials

Assignments
Applied Problems
Four applied problems are assigned within Brightspace. You will either type up your solutions in a word or PDF document or take a picture of your hand-written solutions and upload it to Brightspace.
Homework Problem Sets
Six problem sets are assigned through WebAssign, an online homework tool. The problem sets typically cover problems from three different sections of the text, plus a recap and review section each week. Students can retry problems up to five times if they get questions wrong.
Discussion Boards (4)
There will be a total of four discussion boards in the course. The discussion boards are designed to encourage students to reflect on their learning process and collaborate with one another on problems in the course that are challenging them.
Midpoint Exam
A midterm exam will take place in WebAssign at week four. A practice midterm exam will be available to help students study. This exam must be taken with the Respondus Lockdown Browser.
Final Exam
A final exam will take place in WebAssign at week six. A practice exam will be available to help students study. This exam must be taken with the Respondus Lockdown Browser.

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.
