Thus, calculus is alluded to in lecture (and the basics of an integral and derivative explained) , but an algebra based text book is used. During lecture, clicker problems are used to maintain student interest and to gauge their understanding. Approximately 1/3 of lecture time is set aside for solving integrative problems with an assigned partner. Labs meet for 2 hours each week and their purpose is to further expose the student to the concepts introduced in lecture. |
