1. Course Description
This course will present an introduction to differential and integral calculus. The
instantaneous rate of change of a function is formalized in the concept of a derivative. Typical
applications of derivatives include velocity, acceleration, rates of population growth, and
more. The concept of integral will be introduced and its inverse relation to derivative will be
studied. Integrals are used to compute areas and to reconstruct a function from its derivative
and initial conditions. These two aspects of calculus have wide-ranging applications in the
contemporary technological world.

5. Attendance

Taking attendance on a weekly basis is critical for identifying students who may be at risk/in need
of help and responding to inquiries from the Canada Border Services Agency on the whereabouts
of a student. Moreover, attendance records can be used as a central consideration for students in
cases of expulsion, escalation in probation levels, etc. It is required that you attend class meetings
regularly. Attendance will be taken at every class. If you only attend a portion of the class, it will
be recorded as such.

Being recorded as absent more than three times WILL NOT allow you to:
• Write the deferred final exam if needed (in case you miss the Final exam for a justified
reason you can apply for the opportunity of writing the deferred final exam subject
to good attendance).

• readjust the grade weight of any excused missed midterm exams.

6. Important dates and Voluntary Withdrawal (VW)

First lab : May19th

Victoria Day : May 22
Withdrawal Deadline (no financial penalty) : May 28th

(Covers Week 5 – 8, Sections to be covered: 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 4.1, 1.4, 1.5, 3.9)
After a quiz or test is graded, it will be sent privately to each student via email including feedback.
Graded quizzes will be returned to students within 10 days from the day they were written, and
graded tests will be returned within 18 days they were written.

Missed tests: There will be NO deferred tests. Missing a test will result in a mark of zero unless
you contact your instructor within 48 hours via email. Email your instructor from an ICM or UM
email address, and include your full name, student number, course number, and academic work
that was missed within 48 hours of the date of the missed examination. During the Summer 2023
term, students who are unable to meet a course requirement due to unforeseen medical
circumstances are not required to submit medical notes. Students are however required to
contact their instructor by email within 48 hours. Note that our provincial Personal Health
Information Act (PHIA) does not require students to provide instructors/administration with details
of their medical circumstances.

When the instructor accepts the self-declaration of the student, the grade weight of the final exam
will be recalculated as follows:
• One missed term test: quizzes 10%, term tests 30%, final exam 60%
• Two missed term tests: quizzes 10%, final exam 90%

Missed Final Exam: Students who are wishing to apply for a deferred final examination should
follow the process outlined in section 5.4 of the ICM student handbook. Student must fill out an
‘Exam Deferral Application Form’ located on the ICM student portal. The approval or rejection
of the application is decided by the ICM Academic Success Coordinator, not the instructor.

10. Student Accessibility Services

ICM and the University of Manitoba are committed to providing all students with equal access
to learning opportunities. “This means that our classroom, our virtual spaces, our practices,
and our interactions should be as inclusive as possible. Mutual respect, civility, and the ability
to listen and observe others carefully are crucial to universal learning.”
Student Accessibility Services (SAS) is the office that works with students who have
permanent, chronic, or temporary disabilities to provide and/or arrange reasonable
accommodations.
• Students who have, or think they may have, a disability (e.g. mental health, attentional,
learning, vision, hearing, physical, medical or temporary), are invited to contact Student
Accessibility Services to arrange a confidential discussion at (204) 474-7423 (V), (204)
474- 9790 (TTY) or [email protected].
• Students registered with Student Accessibility Services and who have a letter requesting
accommodations are encouraged to contact the instructor early in the semester to discuss
the accommodations outlined in their letter. Additional information is available at the
Student Accessibility Services website:
https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/accessibility

11. Expectations

Students can expect a class format consisting of a lecture period, a break/work period, a further
lecture period and a final break/work period. Worksheets may be provided. There are no make-
up tests or quizzes.

Students are expected to attend each online class and lab period regularly; to attend class and
the labs on time; to work diligently on the worksheets during the class work period; to avoid
texting, tweeting, using Facebook and/or any other electronic communication during class; to
do promptly the suggested homework from the text; and to complete the lab exercises.

12. Academic Regulations and Academic Integrity

It is your responsibility to be familiar with Academic Regulations and Policies. Information

concerning classroom regulations, grading, transcripts, challenge for credit, academic standing,
student discipline (academic and non-academic misconduct), appeals including grade appeals,
University Policies and Codes, etc. can be found on the Student Portal under Student Resources.
Academic Integrity refers to the values on which good academic work must be founded:
honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility. Academic integrity includes a commitment
not to engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation, or deception. Such acts of
dishonesty violate the fundamental ethical principles of the College community and
compromise the worth of work completed by others.

Note: In particular that cell phones and pagers are explicitly listed as unauthorized materials,
and hence may not be present during tests or examinations.

International College of Manitoba regards acts of academic dishonesty in quizzes, tests,

examinations, or assignments as serious offenses and may assess a variety of penalties
depending on the nature of the offense.

Students found to have breached the regulations related to any form of academic misconduct
including but not limited to examination personation, plagiarism and cheating will be subject
to the following measures:
• First Offense: Awarded “0” for the assessment and given a permanent record on their file.
• Second Offense: Awarded “0” for the course, regardless of whether the offense was
committed in the same course or another course.
• Third Offense: Risk expulsion from ICM and the cancellation of Study Permit.

It is solely the student’s responsibility to be aware of the Academic Integrity Policy and the
consequences of violating it. The policy is available in the Student Academic Handbook,
accessible on Student Portal.

International College of Manitoba condemns all forms of cheating.
