Week 11 checklist

Monday, April 8 to Sunday, April 14

Lessons

WeBWorK

  • Trigonometry – Unit Circle
  • Trigonometry – Sum Difference and Half Angle Formulas
  • Trigonometry – Graphing Amplitude
  • Trigonometry – Graphing Period
  • Trigonometry – Graphing Phase Shift
  • Trigonometry – Graphing Comprehensive
  • Trigonometry – Inverse Functions (if time)

OpenLab

Other

  • The solar eclipse on Monday 4/8 will start around 2:10pm, peak around 3:25pm, and end around 4:30pm (don’t look at the sun without eye protection!)
  • You should have received an email from the math department about a “reflection and support” module in WeBWorK. This is separate from your usual WeBWorK homework and will not impact your overall WeBWorK score, though it’s there to help you with the course material. When you click the link in the email and log in with the information you were sent, it will take you to a separate WeBWorK section with two sets. Complete both of the sets for five extra participation points (you’ll get the five extra points only if you complete both sets).
    • Activity Demo – open 3/25, Monday, close 5/13, Monday
    • Activity – open 4/29, Monday, close 5/13, Monday
  • Test #3 will be given in class Wednesday, 5/1 (right after spring break)

Week 10 checklist

Monday, April 1 to Sunday, April 7

Lessons

WeBWorK

  • Exponential Functions – Equations
    • If you are entering a natural logarithm on your phone, you might not just be able to type “ln(..)” on your phone’s keyboard, you might have to chose “text input” and then type “ln(..)”. You’ll be able to tell that it registered because your “ln” will be in Roman characters, instead of italics.
  • Exponential Functions – Growth and Decay
  • Trigonometry – Unit Circle (now due 4/14)
  • Trigonometry – Sum Difference and Half Angle Formulas (now due 4/14)

OpenLab

  • Test #2 solutions (coordinate with your group, instructions here)
  • Solar eclipse activity (instructions here)

Other

  • Office hours Monday are cancelled (schedule an appointment if you can’t wait until Wednesday)
  • Mid-semester grades are based on the average of your first two test grades. You can find your mid-semeter grade on your Test #2 paper.
    •  =  Making Satisfactory Progress (test average is at least 60%)
    •  =  Needs Improvement
    • SA = Stopped Attending
  • If you haven’t yet, work through this activity to prepare you to see the sine and cosine functions.
