2 Course Intended Learning Outcomes/Assessment Methods Learning Outcomes 1. Plot functions (continuous, discontinuous and implicit), identify their domain, range, asymptotes, maxima, minima, inflection points and concavity. Evaluate and perform algebraic manipulations of functions such as the difference quotient. Find the derivatives and anti-derivatives of functions. Find the roots of functions. 2. Use graphical, tabular and algebraic methods to evaluate limits of expressions. 3. Generate and find the sums of various sequences. Students will gain an appreciation of some of the limitations of the computer algebra system due to restrictions of memory and truncation errors. 4. Extend the techniques of sums of sequences to evaluate Riemann sums. Assessment Methods General Education Learning Outcomes/Assessment Methods Learning Outcomes Assessment Methods 1. Gather, interpret, evaluate, and apply information discerningly from a variety of sources. 2. Understand and employ both quantitative and qualitative analysis to solve problems. 3. Employ scientific reasoning and logical thinking. 4. Communicate effectively using written and oral means. 5. Work with teams. Build consensus and use Classroom activities and discussion. creativity. 6. Acquire tools for lifelong learning.
