Within Blackboard, a course website, also known as a shell, is automatically created for every CMU course. Face-to-face courses may or may not incorporate Blackboard, whereas Blackboard course shells are always used for online courses and will be available to you prior to the course start date. Seeing the course shell listed in Blackboard with unavailable adjacent to its title is an indication that your instructor has not made it available and is in no way indicative of registration status. To access Blackboard, open a web browser and enter After the site loads, enter your CMU Global ID and password in the respective spaces provided. Click the "login" button to enter Blackboard and then the link to the appropriate course to enter the course's Blackboard shell.

(Group II-B) IV. COURSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Students will exhibit understanding through both written prose and mathematical notation of the concept of limit and find limits of various functions. Students will exhibit understanding through both written prose and mathematical notation of the concept of derivative and symbolically find derivatives of various functions. Students will use various techniques for finding derivatives including product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule. Students will exhibit understanding through both written prose and mathematical notation of the relationships among a function and its higher order derivatives through graphical, algebraic, numerical, and natural language representations. Students will apply the concept of derivative to solve various problems such as optimization, exponential growth and decay, and related rates. Students will use technology as a tool for solving problems and discovering mathematical relationships. Students will give elementary arguments for justifying mathematical relationships. Students will exhibit understanding through both written prose and mathematical notation of the concept of definite integral and use numerical techniques to approximate the area under a curve. Students will justify approximation errors for the area under a monotonic curve. Student will exhibit understanding through both written prose and mathematical notation of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and use it to find the area under curves as well as transfer between amount and rate functions. V. METHODOLOGY The class is taught with the MyMathLab an online teaching and learning system to accompany the textbooks in mathematics and statistics published by Pearson Education. The system combines all online textbook, homework, test, quiz, instant gradebook and multimedia tutorials as the course elements for the effectiveness of teaching and learning.

MyMathLab provides detailed instructions for using the TI-83/TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus C calculators with this textbook. Instructions are organized by mathematical topics as well as the following additional resources for students to learn how to use the calculators. View the Graphing Calculator Manual for Applied Calculus by Victoria Baker, Nicholls State University. View the Graphing Calculator Reference Card for help using your Graphing Calculator. Use the Graphing Calculator Tutorial to learn basic TI calculator functions. Use the Online Calculator Lessons from Texas Instruments. In-class lecture, example demos with graphical calculator TI-83 will be given. VI. COURSE OUTLINE/ASSIGNMENTS Pre-Class Assignment: MTH 106 (MTH 109), 107 or MTH 130 are required. The prerequisite tests help students to assess their readiness for taking calculus I and the prerequisite homework helps students to review/learn the necessary knowledge/skill to study calculus I. The following are the most common questions with the best answers. 1. How do I know if I am ready for MTH 132? Take Getting Ready Test A before starting the review homework with a score 65 or better. 2. What should I do if I am not ready? Do the Prerequisite Review Homework. 3. How do I know if I am ready after completing the review homework?

4 Take Getting Ready Test B after completing all the review homework with 65% or better. All the tests and homework are available on MyMathLab and are ready now as soon as you have registered your MyMathLab account. After login MyMathLab compete the Orientation Assignments first. The topics and objectives covered in the tests and homework are based on the CMU MTH 130 online textbook. If you took MTH 130 from CMU Online then you may contact your instructor for possible access to the course content of the course. If not student may go to your CMU Blackboard course web where I have PowerPoint slides. 4. Complete the Chapter R assignments on MyMathLab by August 24, Course Outline:

Keys for success in Calculus I In-class Off-class The prerequisites MTH 106, 107 or MTH 130 are the foundation for building the house, Calculus because. A house cannot be built without a good foundation. Prepare for every class. Read the textbook, watch the example videos and do the pre-class assignment for the sections and objectives that will be covered in a class. Involve yourself in class asking question, participating in discussions, working in-class assignments and sharing your ideas asking for help. Invest at least 2 hours of off-class study for every one hour in-class. Studying many times short is better than studying just one time long. At least two hours between Tuesday and Wednesday classes. Be aware and use all possible resources of help and support.

8 Get the help as soon as you run into trouble Participate small group study. Group study should be formed voluntarily. Take the sample quizzes before take graded quizzes. Take the sample exams before take the graded exams. Other Study Guides available at the Blackboard Preparation Review Guide Homework Guide Quiz Guide Exam Guide Help Resource Guide Gradebook Guide Academic Integrity: Because academic integrity is a cornerstone of the University's commitment to the principles of free inquiry, students are responsible for learning and upholding professional standards of research, writing, assessment, and ethics in their areas of study. Written or other work which students submit must be the product of their own efforts and must be consistent with appropriate standards of professional ethics. Academic dishonesty, which includes cheating, plagiarism and other forms of dishonest or unethical behavior, is prohibited. A breakdown of behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty is presented in the CMU Bulletin ( Student Rights and Responsibilities: Each member of the Central Michigan University community assumes an obligation regarding self conduct to act in a manner consistent with a respect for the rights of others and with the University's function as an educational institution. As guides for individual and group actions within this community, the University affirms the general principles of conduct described in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Disciplinary Procedures at IX.
