Once you work through the first few lessons, you will become very comfortable with the instructional software.
Lessons and Homework Assignments:
There are a total of 19 lessons in the Hawkes Learning System that you are required to complete. Each lesson is worth 10 points upon certification, so there are 200 possible lesson points. Your total will be converted to a percentage and so the lessons count a possible 100 points toward your course-grade total.
The courseware for each lesson consists of three modes:
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.
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.
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.
All homework will be done using the Hawkes Learning software. You can practice homework for each section as many times as you want. To complete the homework assignment for a lesson, you must CERTIFY by correctly answering approximately 80% 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.
The first two lessons will review elementary integration procedures. The table below lists the due dates and lessons covered for the exams.
Tests:
There are three exams (90 minutes), each worth 100 points and a final test (2 hours) that is comprehensive and worth 200 points. For each midterm and final test you get four attemps with the best score counted.

The exams are not open-book, scratch paper, a graphing calculator, and a single 5x8 card (both sides) for notes and formulas are allowed. The calculator can only be used for arithmetic computations and graphs, NOT for computer algebra or solutions. Some of the more sophisticated and expensive calculators will do an impressive amount of computer math. We want our students to have a fundamental understanding of the concepts and not just be able to push buttons. The test software will keep track of the time.
The exam due dates are given in the table above. Test results are automatically recorded in the Hawkes Gradebook; results and feedback are immediately available. After you have completed an examination, Dr. Heal will review your exam and give you additional points for partial credit and trivial formatting errors when it is appropriate. You don’t need to contact me, just check your Hawkes Gradebook for the revised score a few days after it is submitted.
The tests are randomly generated using a variety of problem types and parameters. They are based on the same problem types that are used to build your homework lessons. Practice tests are available, three for each exam; just go to Tests in your Hawkes account and choose the practice exam not the actual exam. Worked-out solutions can be printed.
*****
All exams will be taken while being monitored by Proctorio, an online monitoring service which uses advanced machine learning and facial detection technology. Your tests are accessed via Canvas, under the Quizzes tab. On the Canvas homepage is a link to information about Proctorio and its requirements (Google browser, camera, microphone). Scratch paper, a graphing calculator, and a single 5x8 card (both sides) for notes and formulas are allowed. The calculator can only be used for arithmetic computations and graphs, NOT for computer algebra or solutions. Some of the more sophisticated and expensive calculators will do an impressive amount of computer math. We want our students to have a fundamental understanding of the concepts and not just be able to push buttons. The test software will keep track of the time. Note that Canvas is just used to access Proctorio without requiring additional cost; scores in Canvas mean nothing, your actual scores are in your Hawkes gradebook.

Course Fee:
A $75 course fee is assessed to each student to help pay the costs of teaching assistants, recitation leaders and staffing of the Math & Stats Tutoring Center location in TSC 225A. The teaching assistants and recitation leaders attend class, teach recitation sessions and coordinate material under
the supervision of the course instructor, and assist with the administration and grading of exams, quizzes, and homework. The Tutoring Center provides a shared area and resource for students to get help from all teaching assistants and recitation leaders assigned to MATH 1220, regardless the recitation or section for which students are registered. The course fee also supports the development and coordination of common materials and other resources, to improve consistency and to reduce overall instructional costs. All of these supports are provided to help ensure your success in Calculus II.
IDEA Objectives:
IDEA is the name of the course evaluation system used at USU. This course will focus on the following objectives:
1. Gaining factual knowledge (terminology, classifications, methods, trends)
2. Learning fundamental principles, generalizations, or theories
3. Learning to apply course materials (to improve rational thinking, problem solving and decisions)

USU Incomplete Grade Policy: USU Catalog
Students are required to complete all courses for which they are registered by the end of the semester. In some cases, a student may be unable to complete all of the coursework because of extenuating circumstances not due to poor performance or to retain financial aid. The term 'extenuating' circumstances includes: (1) incapacitating illness which prevents a student from attending classes for a minimum period of two weeks, (2) a death in the immediate family, (3) financial responsibilities requiring a student to alter a work schedule to secure employment, (4) change in work schedule as required by an employer, or (5) other emergencies deemed appropriate by the instructor.
Special Needs:
USU welcomes students with disabilities. If you have, or suspect you may have, a physical, mental health, or learning disability that may require accommodations in this course, please contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC) as early in the semester as possible (University Inn # 101, 435‐797‐2444, drc@usu.edu). All disability related accommodations must be approved by the DRC. Once approved, the DRC will coordinate with faculty to provide accommodations.
