MATH 1220, Online Calculus II, Lessons

There are a total of 19 lessons in the Hawkes Learning System that you are required to complete. Completion of all of the lessons and certifying at the mastery level (about 85%) will earn a total of 100 points. There are instruction videos for many of the lessons. Click on the Video Tutorials link to access these videos. The courseware for each lesson consists of three modes:

  1. Instruct is a multimedia presentation of each topic. The Instruct mode provides definitions, rules and properties, along with example problems, important hints, and helpful notes to enhance students’ learning experience. Narration, videos and ‘Your Turns’ are available for an interactive presentation of the material.

  2. Practice teaches problem-solving skills. Problems in each lesson are algorithmically generated to allow unlimited practice. Intelligent feedback is provided on incorrect answers, and you have access to the Interactive Tutor for help with every problem.

  3. Certify is where you do the homework. Each lesson contains a homework assignment with algorithmically generated problems. Each certification is based on mastery-level learning, allowing you to work at your own pace. Once you achieve mastery-level learning for a lesson, you are allowed to continue to the next lesson.

The required lessons for Online Math 1220 are indicated in the table below. Do only these assigned lessons. The software will show lessons for all sections of the entire book.

All homework will be done using the Hawkes Learning Systems software. You can practice homework for each section for as you want. To complete the homework assignment for a lesson, you must CERTIFY by correctly answering approximately 85% of the problems for that section. If you fail to answer enough problems correctly then you will have the opportunity to learn what mistakes you made as well as receive feedback on why you made the mistakes and how to avoid making them again. You will be able to try and certify again when you are ready. There is no limit on the number of attempts to certify. You will receive full credit for all assignments for which you have certified. The software automatically generates a notification to the instructor and posts the results in the Gradebook.
