Class Format: This is a fully online course ideal for those who do best in self-learning environments. However, as this is a six-week summer course covering the same material usually covered in a 17-week semester, it will be fast-paced.

Students can view all the material on the lecture videos in the Canvas, “Announcement”

Also, lecture notes organized by sections are included in Canvas “Module”.

 

Even though this is fully online course, you are invited to join the Zoom Lecture.

Online Learning Resources: Learning to Learn Online

                        How do I succeed in an online course?

 

 

 

 

Learning at a distance may be a very different environment for you.

You will generally set your own schedules, participate in class activities at

your convenience, and work at your own pace. You may spend some additional time online during the first few weeks while you become acclimated to the online class format, and you may feel overwhelmed. You should also be prepared to spend approximately at least 20 hours per week online completing lessons, activities, doing homework and participating in class discussions. Finally, you may want to incorporate these tips to help you get started:

 

 

  • Set yourself a schedule -- check the course web site early in the class week to see what tasks you'll need to work on for the week.

 

  • Each week there is an online forum with specific directions on how to participate, this is very important! You will need to post at least two times in the forum EACH WEEK. Your first post of the week should be no later than Wednesday at Midnight. Posting for the first time no later than Wednesday will assure that you will be a valuable contributor to the weekly forum.

 

Ongoing Attendance/Participation

Attendance in an online course works a little differently. Since this is a fully online course, you do not need to be anywhere at any specific time. That gives us all a little more flexibility in terms of when to work on the course material. I do expect that you login to this course at least once a day to "attend" to the activities that need to be completed.

 

Netiquette

  • Always Communicate Using Netiquette
  • Be polite to your classmates & respect differences of opinion.
  • Do not share links to webpages that contain content that might be considered offensive to your classmates.
  • Address each other by first name, unless a classmate indicates otherwise.
  • Remember that our Canvas site is our collaborative learning space.

 

 

Need Help Forum

There is a discussion forum set up for you to post questions to your peers in case you need help with something that a classmate might know. I encourage you to reach out to each other in that forum.

 

Rules

All course work for each week is due by Sunday Midnight of that week.

Each week you must post at least Two Times in each discussion forum to get full credit. Your first post to the forum should be no later than Wednesday at Midnight of each week.

The discussion forum closes at Midnight of that week and no posts made after that time will be given points.

 

 

 

Technology

 

Desmos: Available for free on Website https://www.desmos.com

You are encouraged to use Desmos on your homework and exam.

 

Calculator: TI-83 or TI-84 (graphic calculator) or any scientific calculator is recommended.

 

 

Grading Policy: We will have weekly discussion forum, homework assignments, three exams. A student must earn above or equal to 70% to pass the course. The break-down as follows

 

Participation (Discussion): 5% (at least two posts every week)

Homework: 35% (included watching videos and reading textbook)

Exam: 30 % (select best one exam among two exams)

Final Exam: 30% (Mandatory)

 

A: 90%-100%

B: 80%-89%

C: 70%-79%

D: 60%-69%

F: Below 60%

 

Date of Exams

You can start at any time for the Exam but once you start the Exam you must finish it in two hours. Also, you must submit your work of the exam in the Canvas.

One lowest exam score will be dropped but I strongly suggest you take all exams for future Math courses.

 

1st Exam:    June 30, Thursday (will be opened until Sunday)      

2nd Exam:   July 14, Thursday (will be opened until Sunday)          

Final exam:  July 21, Thursday (Mandatory) (will be opened until Friday)
