WEBASSIGN ENROLLMENT: To enroll in WebAssign, you will need the CLASS KEY: trine 1438 1503 REFERENCES: Students  are  encouraged  to  refer  to  all useful  sources  (lecture  notes,  text  book,  library,  internet, discussions etc.) for a deeper and broader understanding of the topics.

OTHER MATERIALS: Required:  Calculator  -  TI  84  equivalent,  a PC or laptop computer with webcam,  Skype, Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Respondus LockDown Browser.

LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.    Identify, sketch, and apply algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions;

2.    Correctly use different methods of evaluating limits, including selecting an appropriate method;

3.    Correctly use basic rules of differentiation;

4.    Apply the derivative to curve sketching and to finding extrema of a function;

5.    Correctly use basic techniques of integration, including substitution;

6.    Apply differentiation and integration to problems in rectilinear motion.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS: The course runs online and all the communication is done via internet. Keep yourself posted by frequently logging into Moodle, WebAssign,  and your Trine email.   Keep up your good  study habits and regularly and responsibly do your work. Regular study and practice is extremely important. The more you practice, more confident  you become. Hence, practice, practice,  and practice… until you understand and attain the desired level of confidence. Completion of all tests, quizzes and recommended assignments is critical for graded feedback and evaluation. Keep track of the dates and deadlines. A genuine and honest personal attempt is expected on all quizzes and exams.

ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION: Since this class is offered completely online, you are expected to log into your WebAssign and Moodle accounts at least once a day and complete the assigned or recommended tasks—including postings on the discussion board, quizzes, and exams. A “check box” function is provided next to each resource and activity you are required to access and complete. Some check boxes are automatically checked when a condition is completed (e.g. viewing the resource or completing discussion board postings) and some can be checked manually as you complete them. You will see the difference when you try to check each box. In order to successfully complete the course, all check boxes must be checked. Your professor will keep track of your Moodle and WebAssign visits. In addition, frequently check your Trine University email and also respond to the instructor if asked to do so. In case of an unavoidable absence please let your professor know  in advance or as  soon as possible. Also,  save and present any proper documentation to justify your absence. Makeup quizzes and acceptance of late assignments will be considered (if brought to instructor’s attention as soon as possible and without any unnecessary delay) only for documented medical reasons, emergency circumstances, or university-sponsored activities. You must keep track of the quiz and exam dates and the deadlines. It is your responsibility to make up the missed work in a timely manner.

Note: According to the Trine Virtual Campus Attendance Policy: Main campus students will be administratively dropped from the course or receive an “F” if reported absent a total of three weeks .

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Please note that the instructor will closely monitor Moodle and WebAssign system log reports. He reserves the right to enforce the use of a lockdown browser and webcam for the quizzes and the tests. Your IP address will be recorded by the system log report. Please inform the instructor fairly in advance in the case of change of your usual location, such as a travel that might result in using a newer IP address signifying a different location. In case of any doubt, the instructor reserves the right to verify the accuracy and legitimacy of the submitted work by contacting the student via phone, Skype, or other such audio-visual means. Unsatisfactory response, or any evidence of the academic misconduct might result in serious consequences up to an F-grade in the particular graded activity, or even an overall F in the course.

CLASS EXAMS: Three Exams and a Final Exam will be given and submitted on WebAssign. You will need to install Respondus LockDown Browser. Feel free to use this link to  install,  and learn more about the LockDown Browser:

MAKE-UP EXAMS & QUIZZES: Makeup on quizzes or exams will not be offered in normal cases. However, in exceptional  situations  and  with proper  official  documentation  (physician’s  certificate,  a  letter  from designated  Trine University Student Services official etc.) your professor may decide to offer a makeup. Your professor can verify any/all of the documentation or evidence provided. Your professor reserves the right to decide the time/content and type of the makeup exam/quiz. Late submissions of quizzes and exams (after the deadline) will not be accepted in normal cases. Your professor reserves the right to refuse early or late exam/quiz requests. Please make sure that you keep yourself updated on all important submission periods and deadlines. Adjust your vacation, travel, or family programs to accommodate the updated and officially set quizzes and exams schedule.

DISABILITY SUPPORT AND SPECIAL NEEDS: Trine University provides equal access to educational opportunities for  students with disabilities as mandated by federal law. The instructor will gladly make appropriate and reasonable academic adjustments upon recommendation from the Trine University Director of Academic Support Services. Please also note that the notification of the right to academic adjustments is not to be interpreted as permission for the student to expect lowered course requirements. All students, regardless of their disability, are expected to meet the same standards and complete all required coursework.

SELF-STUDY AND PACE OF LEARNING: Since this is an expedited course, and is offered entirely online, you are expected to  take  great  responsibility and adopt  good  study habits.  In most  of the  cases, the instructor will provide appropriate resources and advice. You are encouraged to take personal notes of everyday class activities. You should not only follow the posted course calendar but must also try to stay ahead. If you miss a topic on a day, then try to compensate it by spending extra time on the next day. In short, make sure that you do enough practice and maintain appropriate pace of learning. Work hard to make best use of your time and talent. Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today!

COLLABORATIVE LEARNING AND FAIR HELP: Productive discussion and collaboration have been proved very effective in learning higher math. Group collaboration is encouraged for understanding the topics, but not on the exams and quizzes. You must clearly demonstrate personal competence and individual expression in what you submit to be graded. Copying or cheating on homework, quizzes, or exams will result in failure of this course.

CLASS DECORUM AND DISCIPLINE: Your professor will make sure to maintain a learning friendly and decent online class room environment. You will be treated with dignity and the same is expected from you to your professor and fellows. Anything or any action that disrupts the class decorum (for example inappropriate postings or comments etc.) will not be ignored or excused.
