Daily Assignments (10% of Final Grade)

  • Assignment Description: There will be 12 Daily Assignments, 1 for each synchronous class meeting. During class, you will complete assigned activities from the textbook, usually in small groups via breakout rooms. You will submit an individual write-up of the activities completed in class via gradescope. The deadline to submit your write-up is always 11:59PM the same day.
  • Purpose: Most of our time in class will be reserved for actively doing mathematics. The daily assignments will form the structure of our meetings. During class, we will actively engage in learning multivariable calculus by completing the activities associated with the most recent reading assignment.
  • Basis for Evaluation: Daily assignments are evaluated on a Pass/No Pass basis. For each daily assignment, you will either receive 1 point (a “Pass”) or 0 points (a “No Pass”). You will receive 1 point if you:
    • actively participate in the synchronous Zoom meeting;
    • submit your assignment on time;
    • attempt all assigned activities; and
    • make a good faith effort to complete each activity correctly.
    If your submission does not meet all of the above criteria, you will receive 0 points. Your lowest 2 scores will be dropped.

Assigned Activities, Class Notes, Other Resources

    I will use the following table to keep track of the activities we completed during the class. It will only be updated after the deadline. Therefore, you will need to join our zoom meetings in order to find out which activities we will be turning in.
    During class meetings, it is possible that I will give occasional short presentations. In that case, I will post my handwritten notes, or links to resources we used, in the table below.
