Project: College Calculus Course Development
 

Description of Work:

The Part-Time Curriculum Writers are responsible for compiling, editing, and writing curriculum under the direction of the Assistant Director of Math Curriculum.  You will be in charge of developing curricular materials (Lesson Plans, Problem Sets, Quizzes, Exam, and Instructor Answer Keys) for a new course, College Calculus, to run for 130 12th grade students starting January 2018.

This course is meant to be a brief survey course to introduce students to a few big ideas that students will see when they enter their first college course to better prepare students as they to transition to their first real college calculus course.

You will adapt pre-existing external curriculum materials subject to the Creative Commons License (for example, MIT Open Courseware Single Variable Calculus) to fit into the parameters of a 16-hour “College Calculus” course. You may also adapt your own material if you have taught an undergraduate Calculus I course before.
