integrals and inverse, exponential, rational, logarithmic,
and trigonometric functions, with their applications to problems
in science and engineering.

| LESSONS
AND WRITING ASSIGNMENTS:
The
course consists of twelve lessons, including two supervised
examinations. Each lesson has a submitted assignment consisting
of a number of problems from the textbook. Some problems have
solutions or hints which are given in an appendix to the study
guide. All lesson assignments are evaluated. |
EXAMINATIONS:
The
course has two supervised examinations, each consisting of several
problems to work. The examinations are preceded by self-check
practice tests, which are not graded. Each examination covers
approximately one-half of the course content, although concepts
and techniques from the first half of the course will be needed
for the final examination.
If you reside near an Ohio University campus, you must take your examination at the nearest campus. Others can arrange to have their examinations proctored at another accredited college or university or, if it is more convenient, at an accredited local high school. Ohio University reserves the right to reject a proposed examination supervisor. Detailed information about examination procedures will be included with your enrollment material. Examinations may not be taken online nor by e-mail. |
| GRADING CRITERIA: Final grades will be assigned according to the following scale:
| |
A- to A = 88-100 %
B- to B+ = 75-87 %
C- to C+ = 62-74 %
D- to D+ = 50-61 %
F = Below 50 %
|
|
| The final course grade is computed on the following factors: |
| |
First Midcourse Examination = 30%
Second Midcourse Examination = 35%
Final Examination = 35%
