Here is an overview of all of the different types of instructional materials and learning activities in the course. You can find the detailed directions for the assignments and the grading rubrics in the module where they are assigned.
All the textbook readings and PowerPoint presentations can be found in each chapter in Assignments. They provide you with essential content knowledge of the course.
In addition to the chapter readings from the textbook, this course also uses WebAssign, which provides you with powerful online instructional materials, video tutorials, homework, practice exercises, and quizzes. The tasks in WebAssign are not optional since we have designed some learning activities to go with them.
There are four (4) handwritten quizzes in the course. These quizzes are graded assessments of the concepts you will practice and learn in each module and they will help prepare you for the proctored assessments. All handwritten quizzes must be completed unaided, not using internet, people, or math apps, etc.
For each Module, you are required to reply to the posted questions/prompts. This is a chance to reflect, reply, share & see how your classmates tackle the same problems. Responding to your classmates' posts is optional.
The reading and viewing assignments contain critical information for doing well on graded assignments in the class, but are not graded.
The proctored assessments, quizzes, WebAssign homework & quizzes, and discussions are graded. See Course Grading in the Syllabus for more information.
