Overview
This course was a challenging course for me to teach since many of the students lack the Algebra background necessary for the Precalculus Material. To accommodate for this the course has an additional 80-minute meeting time to work through this background material.
Course Materials
For this course I was responsible for all of the materials including lecture notes, handouts, quizzes and exams. However, the final exam is the same one for all sections. At this time, I used the same notes I had made during the Spring 2020 semester.
Since there were two recitation classes I used one as a review of algebra background material and the other to work on problems from the course. I made handouts for both of these recitations and for both there was time for students to work on the handouts and for me to go over the material.
It did seem like having a designated class time for going over algebra was very helpful for the students.
