Student Learning Objective (SLO)

High-Risk Issue (Why is it difficult for the students?)

Enhanced Academic Support (activity or way that the SLO is presented?)  Be specific

Evaluation (How will you measure?)  Be Specific

The student will be able to:

Limits

Lack of ability to visualize functions, calculate function values and do algebraic manipulations with functions

Math XL homework.

We will track the number of students whose composite HW grade is at least 70%

 

Compute the rate of change and tangents of a function

 

 

Post-Test #4

Define limit and continuous functions or apply these concepts to polynomial, rational, root or piecewise functions

 

 

Post-Test # 1, 2, 10, 11

Use the definition of a derivative to find the derivative of a polynomial, rational, root or piecewise function

 

 

Post-Test # 3

Derivatives

Lack of ability to work with functions and perform algebraic manipulations with functions

Math XL homework.

We will track the number of students whose composite HW grade is at least 70%

 

Use the constant function rule, power rule, coefficient rule, sum rule, product rule, or quotient rule to find the derivative of a polynomial, rational, root or piecewise function

 

 

Post-Test # 6

Find the derivative of a composite function using the chain rule or generalized power rule (PT #7)

 

 

Post-Test # 7

Find the derivative of exponential and logarithmic functions (PT # 8)

 

 

Post-Test # 8

Use the derivative to find the slope of a tangent line to a curve or instantaneous rate of change (PT # 5)

 

 

Post-Test # 5

Find functional values, domain and/or partial derivative of functions of several variables (PT # 20)

 

 

Post-Test # 20

Applications of Derivatives

 

 

 

Find the derivative of any order use the derivatives to determine the direction, concavity, local and/or absolute extrema, and/or point(s) of inflection (PT # 9, 12,13)

 

 

Post-Test #9, 12, 13

Find the derivatives using implicit differentiation and solve related rate problems

 

 

14

Integration

Inability of students to perform algebraic manipulations with functions
