This resource contains a rubric, an activity handout, a facilitation guide, and tex files. The material is meant to be used for those teaching a college algebra course. The activities are meant to provide a deeper understanding (than a traditional course offers) of some of the topics covered in a college algebra course. The activities are intended for group activities and options exist for use in a single class or multiple classes.

The course Bio-Inspired Design gives an overview of non-conventional mechanical approaches in nature and shows how this knowledge can lead to more creativity in mechanical design and to better (simpler, smaller, more robust) solutions than with conventional technology. The course discusses a large number of biological organisms with smart constructions, unusual mechanisms or clever sensing and processing methods and presents a number of technical examples and designs of bio-inspired instruments and machines.

Test anxiety is real. Millions of students all over the country experience this vague sense of unease when it comes to testing. Psychology gives us insight into what is going on with our bodies in response to something like test anxiety. In fact, when a person understands their body’s response to anxiety, it can be helpful in dealing with it. The purpose of this project is to better understand how the body’s structures (i.e., parts), functions (i.e., what those parts do), and systems operate when a student experiences test anxiety.

Abbreviated Directions: On a piece of very large paper or poster board, label and explain the role and/or process of biological structures, functions, and systems that are activated when a student is experiencing test anxiety.

The Boundless Art History textbook is a college-level, introductory textbook that provides an overview of Art History from pre-history through to modern global art.

This book is based upon the edX MOOCs Engineering: Building with Nature and Beyond Engineering: Building with Nature. The Engineering: Building with Nature MOOC, explores the use of natural materials and ecological processes in achieving effective and sustainable hydraulic infrastructure designs, distilling Engineering and Ecological Design Principles. In the Beyond Engineering: Building with Nature course, the missing element of Social Design Principles is developed and taught.

Join us in exploring the interface between hydraulic engineering, nature and society!

This resource is a Visual Template that can be used for providing the content and assignments for a module in a course.  This template has links for all of the required assignments that the student needs to complete in one visual document.

This guide is a helpful way of remembering the criteria you should consider when evaluating information: Currency, Authority, Relevance, Documentation, Information Type, and Objectivity. CARDIO.

This folder contains assignments for the COMM 1304 course at the University of Houston Downtown. There are three required assignments for this course: Individual Presentation, Teamwork Problem Solving, and A+CE (Academic Achievement through Community Engagement). Extra credit opportunities have also been developed and are included here.

Description: Overview of computer systems—hardware, operating systems, the Internet, and application software including word processing, spreadsheets, presentation graphics, and databases. Current topics such as the effect of computers on society, and the history and use of computers in business, educational, and other interdisciplinary settings are also studied. This course is not intended to count toward a student's major field of study in business or computer science.Learning Outcomes:Upon successful completion of this Introduction to Computing course, you will be able to:Describe the fundamentals of computing infrastructure components: hardware, application software, operating systems, and data communications systems.Delineate and discuss societal issues related to computing, including the guiding principles of professional and ethical behavior.Demonstrate the ability to create and use documents, spreadsheets, presentations and databases in order to communicate and store information as well as to support problem solving.Describe the need and ways to maintain security in a computing environment.Explain how networks work; implement a basic home network.Describe basic concepts/structures of computer programming, demonstrate an understanding of programming strategies and design an algorithm.

Calculus: Early Transcendentals, originally by D. Guichard, has been redesigned by the Lyryx editorial team. Substantial portions of the content, examples, and diagrams have been redeveloped, with additional contributions provided by experienced and practicing instructors. This approachable text provides a comprehensive understanding of the necessary techniques and concepts of the typical Calculus course sequence, and is suitable for the standard Calculus I, II and III courses.
To practice and develop an understanding of topics, this text offers a range of problems, from routine to challenging, with selected solutions. As this is an open text, instructors and students are encouraged to interact with the textbook through annotating, revising, and reusing to your advantage. Suggestions for contributions to this growing textbook are welcome.

Lyryx develops and supports open texts, with editorial services to adapt the text for each particular course. In addition, Lyryx provides content-specific formative online assessment, a wide variety of supplements, and in-house support available 7 days/week for both students and instructors.

This course is an introduction to the calculus of functions of several variables. It begins with studying the basic objects of multidimensional geometry: vectors and vector operations, lines, planes, cylinders, quadric surfaces, and various coordinate systems. It continues with the elementary differential geometry of vector functions and space curves. After this, it extends the basic tools of differential calculus - limits, continuity, derivatives, linearization, and optimization - to multidimensional problems. The course will conclude with a study of integration in higher dimensions, culminating in a multidimensional version of the substitution rule.

This contemporary calculus course is the third in a three-part sequence. In this course students continue to explore the concepts, applications, and techniques of Calculus - the mathematics of change. Calculus has wide-spread application in science, economics and engineering, and is a foundation college course for further work in these areas. This is a required class for most science and mathematics majors.Login: guest_oclPassword: ocl

This course is an introduction to differential and integral calculus. It begins with a short review of basic concepts surrounding the notion of a function. Then it introduces the important concept of the limit of a function, and use it to study continuity and the tangent problem. The solution to the tangent problem leads to the study of derivatives and their applications. Then it considers the area problem and its solution, the definite integral. The course concludes with the calculus of elementary transcendental functions.

This course is a brief introduction to sequences and infinite series. We begin with a discussion of power series and develop tests for convergence and non-convergence. Taylor series are introduced and lead to an analysis of power series in general. This is a 1-credit course that can be taken any time after the student has completed Calculus I.
