College Trigonometry MATH& 152, section D05D, item #1607, 5 credits Dates: 1/4/2021 – 3/16/2021 including the final examination. Format: This is a fully online course conducted asynchronously in Canvas and MyMathLab. This is NOT a "remote learning" format, thus has no real-time class meetings (ie. NO Zoom). Coverage: Calculus II covers techniques of integration, applications of the integral to geometry and physics, indeterminate forms, hyperbolic functions, and the calculus of parametric equations, polar equations, and conic sections. Calculus II is the second in a four-quarter sequence of Calculus for Engineering and the Sciences. The goal of this course is not only to learn calculus but also to improve your critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. This is a challenging technical course intended for those in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) majors. The quantitative skills requirement [Q] of the general education distribution is met by this course. Calculus I (Clark's Math& 151 or equivalent) passed with a grade of at least "C" or qualifying score on the ALEKS placement or an advanced placement test. The Mathematics Department has identified the following course level outcomes for which you should be proficient upon successful completion of the course.
How will you be assessed on these outcomes? See Mathematics Online Syllabus: Outcomes Assessment.
MyMathLab Software and e-Textbook:
MyMathLab (MML) access is required to access the tests. MML is an online course delivery system provided by the textbook publisher. In MML you can read the complete textbook online, watch video lessons, work interactive tutorial exercises, and take tests. The complete textbook is included as an online textbook inside MyMathLab.
Free Temporary Access to MML: If you do NOT already have access to this textbook in MML from a previous term, start with the free temporary access to MML available through Canvas from Pearson. It provides full access to the course materials for two weeks. Registration directions are provided in class. Ultimately you will need to purchase access, but it is wise to take advantage of the free access first.
Using a different textbook or older edition for study: All standard “early transcendental” Calculus-for-STEM textbooks cover about the same material. So if you have a textbook that you connect well with, certainly use it to study from. Of course, you are still required to have MyMathLab access since the tests are conducted there. |
