Welcome! Welcome to your Arcadia University course, MA202-Calculus II. The general focus of the course is to understand two key processes of Calculus: Integration and Power Series. The course will emphasize concepts, problem solving and applications. To achieve this, students need to apprehend the description of the tools involved, and to learn how to use these tools by solving problems. Required Materials

The Textbook for this course is CALCULUS single Variable, fifth edition, by Hughes-Hallett,

Gleason, et al., Wiley, New York, 2009.

Since this course is being delivered online, your computer system will need to meet specific hardware and software requirements. For this course, you will need to have: 1. A computer with an Internet connection and a web browser 2. Access to the Arcadia University blackboard site 3. A graphing calculator (Ti-82,83,92,etc) or a graphing software that allows you to plot functions If you do not have one, the course will provide a free emulator and/or a free online graphing application (more about this later) Additionally, we will be using other software packages, but I've tried to utilize free programs. The URL's for those programs will be provided in the course at the appropriate location.

Prerequisites

MA 201 (Calculus I) or equivalent. More specifically, students should be familiar with the concept of derivative of a function and its applications. Furthermore, the student should know about the concept of definite integral and how to calculate approximations of it using Riemann integrals. Finally, the student should have had an introduction to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Minimum Technical Skills Expected 1. 2. 3. 4. The ability to use a modern web browser, like Internet Explorer or Firefox, to navigate websites. The ability to use your Arcadia e-mail address to send and receive e-mails. The ability to learn My Arcadia features found in the Tutorials section of the course, as needed. The ability to use word processing software to read, author, edit and save documents.

The course will be based on units. There will be 6 units in this course. Units roughly correspond to chapters in the textbook. At the end of each unit the homework for the sections in the units will be collected and graded. There is a deadline to submit the homework for each unit.

Introduction

This course is being presented in an online fashion. It is important that you login on a regular basis (daily if possible) and work on a consistent basis to complete your requirements. Since we are not meeting face to face, it will be imperative that you participate in the discussion board. Also, the Cyber Cafe is available for you to develop community outside of the course content. You will need to be self-motivated and try to stay as organized as possible; developing a schedule would be a good idea. The course starts slow but the pace picks up during the term. You need to budget enough time to be able to complete the units in the allotted time. Please plan ahead!!!!! Requirements for Discussion Board Sessions 1. You are required to respond to a minimum of three other student postings for forums that require interaction with your peers. I will be looking at the way you analyze the postings and extend the conversation. Please use this opportunity to share your own experiences, but remember to support your assertions with current research findings. At this level we can all learn a great deal by sharing our experiences. "Studies report that peer learning promotes greater conceptual and procedural gains for students, accommodates a broad range of learning styles, results in greater enjoyment of the learning task, and encourages a stronger persistence in learning" (Johnson & Johnson, 1999). 2. Your postings will be evaluated based upon the substantive nature and how it efficiently addresses the question at hand. Simple responses such as "I agree" are of no value and will not be counted as an acceptable posting. Try to use what I call the "no scroll" rule. If you have to scroll a great deal to read the posting, it becomes an arduous task. Please try to be succinct and to the point. Strive to respond at the synthesis or evaluation levels.

Discussion Etiquette In this course, I welcome the creation of a dialogue that is open, thoughtful, and founded on the basis of research in the field. At times, some of you will not agree on the positions that are taken in the forum. This diversity is welcomed. However, each student must exercise respect for the thoughts and comments that are posted by their peers. If any posted comments are inappropriate or of an offensive nature, they will be removed from the forum and I will address the issue with the author of the content. Please follow the following guidelines: Never post, transmit, promote, or distribute content that is known to be illegal. Never post harassing, threatening, or embarrassing comments.

If you disagree with someone, respond to the subject, not the person. Never post content that is harmful, abusive, racially, ethnically, or religiously offensive, vulgar or otherwise potentially offensive.
