Overview
This was my second time teaching this course, so I had a much better idea of where students struggled and how to help them out with this. Overall, I felt like this course went really well and the students seemed to be very engaged and get a lot out of it.
Course Materials
In this semester I was the lecturer and was responsible for all materials. After, seeing how challenging the chapter 11 material was for students the first time I taught this I rework my entire notes. I chose to start with leading problems, added in more break downs of the steps, and rearranged the order of the material so it flowed better. This way of teaching seemed to allow students to understand the material better and do better on tests.

Also, this time around I was able to shorten some sections which allowed me to work in days for students to practice more problems on the material that was harder. I also noticed my students struggled with choosing the correct technique when problems looked similar, so I worked in a day at the end of the year just to help with this.

The students really liked the decision worksheet and there was a noticeable difference for integrals on the final exam.
