Prerequisite (If Available)

Before taking this course, please review your previous education well.

Course Objectives

Gain proficiency in calculus to formulate and solve problems, and to communicate solutions to others.
The course will provide students with a thorough understanding of functions and graphs, limits and the
derivative, applications of derivatives, the area problem and the definite integral, and computation
techniques of the definite or indefinite integrals.

Upon Completion of this course the student should be able to:

1. understand and use basic properties of elementary,
2. evaluate limits of functions graphically, numerically, and algebraically,
3. determine whether a function is continuous and/or differentiable at a point using limits,
4. express the derivative of a function as a limit and write the equation of the tangent line at a given
point,
5. apply the rules of differentiation to evaluate the derivative of a given function,
2
 6. graph functions using limits and derivatives,
7. identify appropriate calculus concepts and techniques to determine solutions to optimization
and related rates problems and apply the definition of the definite integral as the limit of
Riemann sums and compute definite and indefinite integrals using standard integration
techniques.

Matters Needing Attention

• Make sure that you read all weekly course materials.

• Participate positively in classroom activities and discussions.
• Attend the classes actively every week.
• If you have a health issue or any personal emergency before an exam, then you must fill out the make-up exam
request form and submit it to your faculty secretary.

5
• There will be a make-up exam for the midterm and final exams for the students with valid excuses according
to BAU regulations.
• The relative grading system is used to give the proper letter grade to each student. The grades are given based
on the student's score compared to the others in the class.
• You are expected to follow any extra material uploaded to itslearning such as extra questions/ extra lecture
notes/ sample tests etc. All these will be helpful in your showing a high performance.

Academic Integrity, Cheating and Plagiarism

Hexham (2005) defines plagiarism as a planned deliberate action to deceive the reader by pretending to be
someone's word or words. Academic plagiarism is also in the form of an author's use of more than four words in
his own research, without using quotation marks from a written source, without a precise reference to the original
source published before, or in the form of similar fraudulent behavior in scholarship-application forms he wrote to
contribute to his research.
• Actions that can be defined as contrary to publication ethics in the scientific community are defined as follows;
- plagiarism, - cheating, - paraphrasing, - fabrication and falsification of data,
- to help copying and plagiarism, - to prevent others from accessing a source or data,
- appearing as a writer in joint studies without contributing,
- use of widely known / anonymous information, - no regular attribution, - self-plagiarism etc.
• Not everything on the Internet is public and cannot be obtained without permission or reference.
• Studies conducted without proper reference are graded with a score of zero.
• Large amounts of manuscripts copied without being quoted will be considered plagiarism and you will be
responsible.
• Please be aware that the penalties for plagiarism can range from grading homework to dropping you out of class.
• If you copied, plagiarized or copied / pasted, do not expect the instructor of the course to write you a reference
letter or to be your advisor.
• Cheating on your exams or assignments is a serious offence and can lead to disciplinary action (see ARTICLE 25
below).
• Cheating on your exams or assignments is a bad habit; it is important that engineers form good habits and
character, and act ethically.
• Cheating on your exams or assignments unfairly provides you with a grade above your classmates who have
worked hard for their grades; this generates social tension between classmates and brings bad reputation to the BAU
family.
• Cheating on your exams or assignments negates the goal of the course which is to prepare you to be a competent
engineer.
• How is plagiarism penalized?
If it is discovered that you have committed plagiarism during the course, the instructor of the course will refer you
to the program coordinator. Depending on the seriousness of the situation, the Program Coordinator will decide
with a committee the appropriate penalty (from giving a grade of 0 to the activity to expelling the student from the
course). In any case, the student has the right to appeal.

ARTICLE 25 – (1) In case it is doubled that a student cheats or attempts to cheat, commits plagiarism or similar
violations defined in the applicable disciplinary regulation in any exam, assignment or other assessment activities,
a disciplinary proceeding is brought against the student. Such activity is not assessed during the proceedings. A
student who is found guilty is assigned zero point in addition to the disciplinary punishment. If the student is found
innocent because of disciplinary proceedings, the exam taken by the student shall be an assessment or a make-up
exam or activity is provided.
