Materials for MTH 201 (Calculus) at Grand Valley State University -- using a flipped learning design with specifications grading.

Primary LanguageTeXOtherNOASSERTION

Welcome. This repository contains materials made by me, Robert Talbert, for a university-level calculus course taught using an inverted or flipped class design. Under this design:

  • Students work prior to class, through structured preparatory activities called Guided Practice, to attain fluency on a set of basic Learning Objectives.
  • During class, students work actively with the instructor's direct assistance on challenging problems on deeper, more advanced learning objectives.

The course also uses specifications grading, which is described here.

The materials in this repo correspond to the chapters and sections in the textbook Active Calculus by Matt Boelkins, a free and open source calculus text.

Other materials can be found on the web site for my Fall 2013 instance of this course.

Over 9 hours of video screencasts were created for this course and are housed at the GVSU Mathematics Department YouTube channel.
