COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
To be successful, students should be able to:
1.  Calculate limits and use limit notation.
2.  Determine derivatives of polynomial rational, algebraic, exponential
   logarithmic, and trigonometric functions.
3.  Use techniques of differentiation, including product, quotient, and
   chain rules.
4.  Apply derivatives to graphing, optimization, and science applcation.
5.  Determine antiderivatives of polynomial, rational, algebraic,
   exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions.
6.  Evaluate definite integrals using the fundamental theorem of
   calculus.
7.  Use numerical integration to approximate definite integrals.
8.  Apply definite integration to compute area, volumes, arc length
   and solve problems in science and related fields.
9.  Apply methods of integration, including integration by parts,
   partial fractions, and use of tables or a computer algebra system.

Assignments:
Untitled document
1.  The student will have daily outside reading, problem set assignments
   from required text(s), or instructor chosen supplementary materials.
2.  Instructional methodology may include, but not limited to: lecture,
   demonstrations, oral recitation, discussion, supervised practice,
   independent study, outside project or other assignments.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.
Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.Writing
0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.Problem Solving
25 - 50%
Homework problems, Exams
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.Skill Demonstrations
30 - 70%
Performance exams
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.Exams
5 - 25%
Multiple choice
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.Other Category
