The video below introduces you to the features on the calendar.

We have a naming/coding scheme for our curriculum and it's important you understand how to interpret it.

Lectures: We strongly encourage you to attend the live session if you can.

   Live = Real-time group learning guided by the instructor (full credit for participation)

   Async = Asynchronous Canvas quiz if you can't make live session (credit based on correctness)

Learning Cycle Numbers: 1 = Pre-lecture Familiarization, 2 = Foundational Lecture, 3 = Practice Post-lecture, 4 = Mastery Challenge Homework.

Code Legend: [Topic Code].[Lecture Number].[Stage in the Learning Cycle]

   For Example: GR.L1.1 stands for General Review, lecture 1, pre-lecture homework.

Topic Codes:

• GR = General Review
• VO = Vector Operations
• AQ = Average Quantities
• K1 = One Dimensional Kinematics
• K2 = Two Dimensional Kinematics
• N1 = 1st Forces Module
• N2 = 2nd Forces Module
• N3 = 3rd Forces Module
• IM = Impulse and Momentum
• CM = Conservation of Momentum
• WE = Work and Energy
• CE = Conservation of Energy

Reflective Writing: RW 1 stands for the week 1 reflective writing exercise.

There will be three 1 hour lectures on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Ecampus students can attend any one of the three.  Participation points will be given for answering Learning Catalytics (LC) questions during each session. You will get points whether you answer correctly or not! You will be put into "breakout groups" where you will work with other students to answer the LC questions.

Schedule

Note: you must log into Zoom through your Oregon State account. The lecture password will be shared via a Canvas announcement to ensure security.

Async  |  If you are unable to attend the live lecture you can gain equivalent points doing the alternative* Async (asynchronous) assignment. These assignments are the same questions worked through in class. At the end of the term we will add the points from the questions answered live with those answered via Async**. We will then take the total number of questions we delivered live via LC and full credit will be set at 85% of that number. If you ever feel like you need more lecture points you can always go answer questions on the Async questions that we didn't work on in class. Async assignments are due each week on Friday at midnight.

  * Due to the time constraint in the live lectures any answer will be accepted. Async questions will have to be answered correctly for credit.  

  ** We will not give double credit for completing an Async assignment if you participate in the corresponding live session. You will receive full credit for attending a live session and answering the questions!

We strongly encourage you to attend the live lecture sessions where we will be working on problem solving. Our research has shown that students who attend the live sessions have on average almost an entire letter grade higher in the class. Participation in these events will result in full credit for the lecture portion of your grade.
