| II. Course Objectives*: | |||||||||
| A. | Demonstrate knowledge of analytic geometry concepts and methods. VI.1,2,3,4,6 | ||||||||
| B. | Calculate derivatives and integrals of simple algebraic functions. VI.1,2,5 | ||||||||
| C. | Apply derivatives and integrals to solving real and technical situations. VI.1,2,3,4,5,6 | ||||||||
| *Roman numerals after course objectives reference TBR's general education goals. | |||||||||
| III. Instructional Processes*: | |||||||||
| Students will: | |||||||||
| 1. | Use algorithmic processes to solve real world problems related to topics such as ellipses and hyperbolas and maximum and minimum problems. Transitional Strategy, Mathematics Outcome, Active Learning Strategy | ||||||||
| 2. | Work, either individually or in a group setting, to demonstrate problem solving from an occupational field using calculus. Solutions must be mathematically correct in terms of the related occupational field. Examples could include researching uses of and solving problems from engineering and engineering graphics using integration methods in computer-assisted design to design various structures and from laser technology using derivatives and tangent and normal lines. Transitional Strategy, Mathematics Outcome, Active Learning Strategy | ||||||||
| 3. | Use a graphing calculator to solve problems and sets of problems that would be tedious, difficult, or impossible to solve without the technology. This would apply to topics including finding numerical derivatives for certain functions, using Newton’s Method to solve equations, and finding or estimating the volume of a solid of revolution around an axis. Transitional Strategy, Mathematics Outcome, Technological Literacy Outcome | ||||||||
| *Strategies and outcomes listed after instructional processes reference TBR's goals for strengthening general education knowledge and skills, connecting course work to experiences beyond the classroom, and encouraging students to take active and responsible roles in the educational process. | |||||||||

| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| A. Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course. Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent. | |||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| Cheating,
including but not limited to unauthorized assistance from material, people,
or devices when taking a test, quiz, or examination; writing papers or
reports; solving problems; or completing academic assignments.
In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign either (1) an F or zero for the assignment or (2) an F for the course. |
|||||||||
| C. Accommodations for disabilities: | |||||||||
| If you
need accommodation because of a disability, if you have emergency medical
information to share, or if you need special arrangements in case the building
must be evacuated, please inform the instructor immediately. Privately
after class or in the instructor's office.
To request accommodations students must register with Services for Students with Disabilities: Goins 127 or 131, Phone: (865) 539-7153 or (865) 694-6751 Voice/TDD. |
