Welcome to my homepage!
I will update this when Summer Term gets closer, but here are some highlights for you that I used during Spring Term.
REQUIREMENTS: In-class activities are primarily lecture/discussion with problem-solving sessions. Graphing calculator (such as TI-89 or Casio Classpad 330) or graphing technology (such as Desmos and/or GeoGebra), which are available at no cost, is required.
EVALUATION: Homework (see below) submitted in D2L on time 12%, Six quizzes in D2L 24%, Two mid-term exams in D2L 24%, Final Exam in D2L 25%, Lab activity grade – Doing lab work problems in Breakout rooms in Zoom 15%.
HOMEWORK: Homework will be graded on amount completed and on PROPER mathematical notation used. Please refer to the Documentation Standards in Mathematics document posted in D2L to know the standards of which your homework will be graded. Because these need to be hand written, you will submit a copy of these (either a scanned .pdf using CamScanner app from your phone or the like, or simply a carefully taken picture) into D2L.
QUIZZES: As you complete the homework and submit in D2L, you will be asked to take quizzes each week where there is not an exam scheduled. These quizzes are password locked because they are timed and can only be opened once. The password is will be given during the term. Six of these quizzes (your highest ones!) will count for the quiz portion of your grade.
LAB SESSIONS: Lab activities for this term will be in D2L using a lab packet, working through the material and doing the problems while in Zoom Break-out rooms. Attendance in the Zoom break-out rooms during the last half of class is required in order for the lab assignments to count. The assignments and attendance/participation in Zoom will compose the 15% Lab activity grade from above.
Of course there will be much more detail coming as the term gets closer, including the full syllabus. I am looking forward to spending time with students this summer learning the wonderful world of calculus!
