Course Requirements Checklist
After reading the Course Syllabus and Student Expectations, the student will complete the related checklist found in the Course Overview.
Prerequisite Project Assignment
The student will complete the Prerequisite Project Assignment. This project consists of a combination of prerequisite math problems and questions involving course information. The grade for this project will be determined by completing the problems and submitting the assignment correctly; the student does not need to get every prerequisite math question correct to get a perfect score on the project (TSQR: 1-3).
Homework Assignments (16)
Homework will be assigned through WebAssign, and the student will have multiple attempts at each problem. Even though homework problems are given online, the student is encouraged to work out solutions on paper using correct mathematical notation before entering data into WebAssign. For each module, one assignment will be due Thursday night and the second will be due Monday night, except for the final module (CLO: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, TSQR: 1-3).
Quizzes (12)
Using the online WebAssign software, the student will complete 12 module quizzes. Each module quiz will be based on the readings, watch videos, and the corresponding homework of the assigned module. Module quizzes will have three attempts each (CLO: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, TSQR: 1-3).
Quiz: Tests (3)
Each test have two parts, one online and one written. The online portion will have a time limit (1 hour and 30 minutes) and will allow 1 attempt. The written portion will involve 2 file-upload questions, have no time limit, and allow 1 attempt. On all written work, the student is expected to write correct mathematics to avoid point deductions (CLO: A, B, C, D, E, TSQR: 1-3).
Quiz: Overview of Calculus I Test
The Quiz: Overview of Calculus I Test have two parts, an online portion and a written portion. The time limit for the online exam is 2 hours and 30 minutes, and only 1 attempt will be allowed. The written portion will consist of 2 file-upload questions, have no time limit, and allow 1 attempt. On all written work, the student is expected to write correct mathematics to avoid point deductions (CLO: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, TSQR: 1-3).
