Web Content:

Grades, Lecture Notes, Homework Assignments, and Solutions.

Homework:

Homework will be accepted via Blackboard. Documents should be uploaded as a pdf to avoid file and software compatibility issues.

Projects:

Project is Required. Every student is expected to give a presentation on a published paper from the scientific literature. Papers will vary in specific topic and application. Students will have some choice in selection of their paper. Distance students may make their presentation live via internet connection or submit a recorded presentation using software such as VoiceThread

Exams:

There are no exams for this course.

Textbooks:

Official textbook information is now listed in the Schedule of Classes. NOTE: Textbook information is subject to be changed at any time at the discretion of the faculty member. If you have questions or concerns please contact the academic department.
Literature papers, lecture slides, and handouts will be provided electronically.

Computer Requirements:

ProEd Minimum Computer Requirements. Students are expected to use word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software proficiently. Students are expected to be able to perform calculations using tools from college level calculus, differential equations and linear algebra. In some cases software (e.g. matlab, mathematical, advanced spreadsheet tools) may be used to facilitate calculations. To facilitate collaboration and presentations between the classroom and distance students, the free online software VoiceThread may be used.

Other Requirements:

Students should plan to use the free software, Voicetread, to upload presentations with audio content. This requires basic presentation software (powerpoint), a microphone on a computer, and access to the internet. Distance students will benefit the most if they can be available during the course meeting time (Thurs, 5:30pm-8:30pm) to connect with the class live when possible.
