Critical Response to Alternate Viewpoints
When students are reading or viewing assignments, they may encounter viewpoints, words or images that
their instructors would not use or endorse. Students should know that materials are chosen for their value
in learning to read, write and view critically, not because the materials are necessarily Christian.

Plagiarism Education
Students are required to view the Understanding Plagiarism video and complete the Understanding
Plagiarism Quiz prior to completing any of the course content. These items are located in the Welcome &
Orientation section of the course site.

adherence to APA guidelines. Students are expected to submit well-written papers and assignments free of
grammatical and spelling errors. Unless otherwise instructed, all submitted papers for this course are
expected to be double spaced, use 12-pt. standard font, and be the assigned length, using Microsoft Word
format files.

Requirements
This course is delivered in an online format. The content for Calculus & Analytic Geometry II is divided into
a total of 13 lessons, each taking 1 week. Two weeks of the course are designated to take exams. It is
important to follow the instructions within this syllabus and the course site so you can stay on track with
your studies. In this course you are trained to use contemporary technology (such as Microsoft Excel,
Wolfram Alpha, and Desmos) to visualize and help solve business problems. The course uses exercises and
problem solving as the primary assessment tool.

Exercises (13)
Exercises give you opportunities to practice Calculus ideas without being graded. You can practice as many
problems as you want. The answers for most of the problems are given.

Online Forums (6)


In your posts, you will address questions that demonstrate your current understanding of and insights
about Integral Calculus. These forums will allow you to begin thinking about the overall context of Integral
Calculus, to identify your working knowledge of basic terms and concepts, and to share insights you have
gained in technology-assisted short research assignments.
Minimum Requirements: Provide an initial post consisting of two paragraphs (at least 200 words) in which
you articulate your current understanding or position on the topic as supported by course materials. These
initial posts are due by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday each week. Then reply in at least 100 constructive words
to the thoughts of another colleague. You may choose to post more in order to generate further discussion
or elicit responses and reflections from other learners (as indicated in the rubric)
For further specific grading criteria, view the Discussion Forum Rubric on the course site.

Quizzes (13)
For most week throughout the course, you will complete various quizzes related to weekly material, most
of which are drawn from the online textbook. These will help you gain and practice the skills necessary for
Integral Calculus problem solving. Beyond just seeking the correct answer, quizzes invite you to practice
until Calculus concepts, methods, and perspectives become nearly automatic and intuitive as you grow in
expertise.
For each weeks Quiz, download and complete the Quiz Sheet Word document from the course site. Then
submit your completed document in the respective assignment submission area.
Exercises may require you to write equations, produce graphs and charts, and make computations. You
may be required to use technology resources like spreadsheets, online graphing calculators, and online
computer algebra systems. All your work and solutions for all exercises in a given week should be
submitted as one Word document with screen shots showing how you used technology resources to reach
your conclusions. Any written or sketched work should be scanned in and added to the Word document as
images. Most equation computations should be made with a word processing equation editor.

Grading for the quizzes will be based on the following criteria.


1. Completion of All Problems (1 point per problem).
Additionally the instructor will randomly pick one problem (not known beforehand) to grade with extra
care. That problem will be graded with a total of 5 points:
1. Correct Answer (2 points): The answer is correct and accurate to the correct precision. If the answer is a
physical quantity then it is stated to the correct level of precision (for example the answer should be 6
chairs not 6.23 chairs) with the correct units. If a money amount is given, then it is rounded to the
appropriate monetary unit (dollar, cent, thousand dollars, etc).
2. Work Shown (3 points): All logical steps in the process to determine the correct answer are
shown. This includes the use of graphs, charts, algebraic steps,
and numerical computations. If a computer algebra system is used, the code used is included.

Riemann Sum Research Report (special grading)


Your task is to write a 1 page research report on Riemann sums. Your goal is to write an EXCEL
sheet to estimate the area under the curve f(x) = e^(-x^2/2)/sqrt(2*pi) between 1 and 2. This is, in fact, the
famous bell-shaped curve studied in statistics. You are also going to test how the accuracy increases as the
number of sub-intervals in the computation increase. Take screen shots of your EXCEL spreadsheets to add
to a Word document and then submit one Word document. DO NOT SUBMIT A FILE IN EXCEL FORMAT.

It is highly recommended that you find a partner to complete this assignment. You may work
together. Each person should submit the final document. Only individuals and groups of 2 are allowed.
Instructions
1) Create an EXCEL sheet that will compute a midpoint Riemann Sum for the function f(x) = e^(-
x^2/2)/sqrt(2*pi) on the interval [1,2] with 5 sub-intervals.
2) Compute the midpoint Riemann sum for the number of sub-intervals (n=10, n = 20, n = 50, n =
100, n = 200) by modifying your EXCEL sheet. Find the absolute error for all computations and summarize
what you have found.
3) Find a formula that models the error of the midpoint Riemann sum.
4) Answer the question: How large does the number of subintervals have to be so that the error of
the midpoint Riemann sum is less than 0.0005?
5) Answer the question: If the number of sub-intervals is increased by a factor of 10, what is the
decrease in the error for the midpoint Riemann sum?

You will be graded using the following criteria.


Spreadsheet Quality (10 points): The spreadsheet is organized well and accurately computes Mid
Riemann Sums.
Data Collection (10 points): The error computations from multiple trials are included and well organized.
Error Modeling (10 points): All logical reason needed to arrive at an error formula is included. The error
modeling formula is accurate.
Conclusions (10 points): The final conclusions about how to get 4 digit accuracy and the decrease in error
as the number of sub-intervals increases are correct. The conclusions are clearly stated.

Essays (3)
Complete three essays related to a lectures, a devotional and a powerpoint presentation. Prompt
questions can be found on the course site. The essay should be at least 500 words and answer the
