COMMON RULES AND REGULATIONS Attendance will only be given to those who
attend the class.
Students are not allowed to sign their attendance for their friends. If found to do so, action will be taken.
Students are to switch off their mobile phones during lectures.
Students should not in any way interrupt the class but students are allowed to ask questions related to the class.
COMMON RULES AND REGULATIONS All tutorials/assignments are to be genuinely
prepared by the students themselves. If found plagiarising, no marks will be given for the report.
Cheating in any form during quiz/tutorials/midterm are not allowed. If found, students will not be given marks for the quiz/tutorials/midterm and will be barred from the final.
Student(s) shall leave the class if he/she/they is/are found unable to abide to these rules.
COMMON RULES AND REGULATIONS: ASSESSMENTS
No replacement will be given to students unless medical cert (MC) from a government hospital or UCSI clinic ONLY is produced.
Notification of absence must be e-mailed to lecturer within ONE working day. Failure to do so will result in immediate 0 for the absent assessment.
REQUIREMENTS Always bring paper for rough calculations and
jotting notes
Calculators (Scientific) – mandatory!
Ask questions if you are unclearNever be shy to ask ‘silly’ questions for they just
may very well be on others’ minds.

LEARNING OUTCOMES To understand the ideas of Calculus.
To analyse and solve problems from different domains that require limits, derivatives, integration of functions and series.
To develop specific skills in selecting and using an appropriate problem-solving strategy or combination of strategies.
To apply a variety of methods to solve real-life, practical, technical, and theoretical problems.
