Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lecture: Interactive lecture format to develop the concept of finding a power series representation of a variety of functions. For each type of function, the instructor will incorporate algebraic derivation and visual analysis though graphing. Students will participate verbally and will work several examples on their own. (Objective 14) In class, small group collaborative learning activities will focus on determining which methods of integration to use for a variety of problems. After an instructor lecture on solids of revolution, students will use solids of revolution to solve real-life problems. They will practice recognizing which method to try, testing their conjectures, and developing solutions with peers. (Objective 2) Distance Learning Instructor created video lectures develop the concept of finding a power series representation of a variety of functions. For each type of function, the instructor will incorporate algebraic derivation and visual analysis though graphing. Students will participate in a discussion with peer review to present their work from a chosen example. (Objective 14) A small group discussion board topic will focus on determining which methods of integration to use for a variety of problems. After an instructor created video lecture on solids of revolution, students will use solids of revolution to solve real-life problems.
