STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES (From Academic Course Guide Manual/Workforce Education Course Manual/NCTC Catalog

At the successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
1	Use the concepts of definite integrals to solve problems involving area, volume, work, and other physical applications.
2	Use substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, partial fractions, and tables of anti-derivatives to evaluate definite and indefinite integrals.
3	Define an improper integral.
4	Apply the concepts of limits, convergence, and divergence to evaluate some classes of improper integrals.
5	Determine convergence or divergence of sequences and series.
6	Use Taylor and MacLaurin series to represent functions.
7	Use Taylor or MacLaurin series to integrate functions not integrable by conventional methods.
8	Use the concept of polar coordinates to find areas, lengths of curves, and representations of conic sections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

GRADING CRITERIA

# of Graded Course Elements	Graded Course Elements	Percentage or Point Values
5	4 Exams + Final Exam	100%

 

We will have 4 exams during  the semester, and a comprehensive final exam.

 

Your grade will be the average of the 4 highest of the 5 exams.

i.e. your lowest exam grade will be dropped – that exam can be the final exam.

The 4 exam grades used to compute your exam average will all be weighted equally.

 

If you do not take the final exam, you will have no possibility of any curve of your grade.

 

Grading scale: A:  90-100     B: 80-89     C: 70-79     D: 60-69     F: 0-59

 

THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP EXAMS.

The grading policy may be amended during the semester at the instructor’s discretion.  Any announcements/information disseminated during class will take precedence over the syllabus and any postings on Canvas.
