Class Format: This fully online course is designed for individuals who thrive in self-learning environments. However, please note that due to its condensed nature, being a six-week summer course instead of a 17-week semester, the pace will be accelerated. All course material, including lecture videos and notes organized by sections, can be accessed on Canvas under the designated "Modules" corresponding to the respective chapters.

 

Prerequisites: Math 3A

 

Textbook: Great news: your textbook for this class is available for free online!

        Calculus, Volume 2 from OpenStax, ISBN-13: 978-1-50669-807-6

Free Online Homework: The homework assignments, MyOpenMath (MOM) will be available on the Canvas. 

The homework can be found under the "Assignments" tab in Canvas. While completing your assignments, you are welcome to utilize any available resources. However, it is essential to uphold academic integrity by refraining from directly copying content from websites or apps. Any instances of such behavior will result in a grade of zero for the specific homework assignment. Consistent violation of this policy will lead to a failing grade F for the entire course. It is of utmost importance to prioritize and maintain academic honesty in all your academic endeavors.

 

Course Website: The course website for this summer semester is Canvas, where you will find a variety of course materials and activities. These include reading the textbook, completing homework assignments, taking exams, accessing recorded lecture videos, and reviewing lecture notes. As the semester progresses, additional class activities will also be posted on Canvas. For technical or website problems, contact Canvas Support at CoA: (844) 592-2199, 24/7.

 

 

Course/Catalog Description: This course introduces theorems on limits and continuous functions, derivatives, differentials and applications: Fundamental theorems of calculus and applications; properties of exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions, and hyperbolic functions.

 

Online Learning Resources: Learning to Learn Online

                        How do I succeed in an online course?

 

 

Course Objectives:

At the completion of the course the student will be able to:

  1. Evaluate definite and indefinite integrals using a variety of integration formulas and techniques
  2. Apply integration to areas and volumes, and other applications such as work or length of a curve
  3. Evaluate improper integrals
  4. Apply convergence tests to sequences and series
  5. Represent functions as power series
  6. Graph, differentiate and integrate functions in polar and parametric form

 

Students Learning Outcomes: Students should be expected to

  1. Compute derivatives of functions using a variety of techniques for graphical analysis.
  2. Apply the concept of anti-differentiation to solve basic integration problems.
  3. Construct and solve mathematical models involving related rates and optimization (maximum and minimum problems).
  4. Model natural phenomena using logarithms and exponentials
  5. Analyze the properties of inverse trigonometric functions, their derivatives and

  anti-derivatives (From Math Department)

 

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 on 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. Nevertheless, I do anticipate that you will log in to this course on a daily basis to actively participate in the necessary activities. However, if you fail to log in on the first day of the course, I will have to drop you as a "No Show." Additionally, if you do not access Canvas for two consecutive weeks, I will also drop you from the course.

 

Netiquette

  • Always Communicate Using Netiquette
  • Be polite to your classmates & respect differences of opinion.
  • Use appropriate language and tone when communicating online.
  • 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 strongly encourage you to utilize this forum and engage with one another. To earn full credit 5%, remember to post at least one post such as question or comment (reply to the classmate's post) per week.

 

Technology

 

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

You are encouraged to use Desmos for your homework and exams.

 

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

 

 

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

 

Participation (Discussion): 5% (at least one post 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 on the Canvas.

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

 

1st Exam:    July 6,   Thursday            (will be opened until Sunday)

  2nd Exam:  July 20,  Thursday         (will be opened until Sunday)        

  Final exam: July 27,  Thursday         (will be opened until Friday)

 

 

 

Academic Dishonesty: Any form of academic dishonesty, using unauthorized resources such as websites, search engines, or applications to complete homework or exams, will lead to a failing grade on the respective assignment. Repeat offenses will result in an overall grade of F for the course.       

           

 

Extra Credit (5%): Extra credit will be given to students who log over 10 hours in the Online Tutoring through Canvas.
