Your instructor will hold the orientation online using self-paced tools, email and/or discussions. (A self-paced orientation does NOT mean the entire course is self-paced.) You should plan to access your online course no later than the first day of the session. Failure to do so may jeopardize your grade.

Other Orientation Information
There is no face to face Orientation for this course. Check your Bucks email prior to the start of the semester for directions on how to self enroll in MYMATHLAB. You will need to purchase an access code for the course that comes with the book. If you'd like to start earlier then send me an email. This class will use MYMATHLAB.
Accessing Your Course

MyMathLab

Your course is using MyMathLab, which requires the purchase of an access code. This code is usually packaged with a new textbook, but may also be purchased separately from the MyMathLab website if it is not included with your book.

Information about MyMathLab can be found at http://www.mymathlab.com. Please check the systems Requirement page to verify your computer compatibility.

Your instructor will provide an additional course code you will need to access your specific course.

Purchasing Your Books and Other Course Materials

While you may purchase your books and other course materials from the provider of your choice (using the ISBN number available through the course's academic department where applicable to ensure the correct version), both the campus bookstore and our online bookstore, guarantee that they stock the correct version for your course.

Other Information about the Course
This course is the third course in the Calculus sequence and requires a grade of C or better in Calculus II. Multivariable Calculus is the study of vectors and solid analytic geometry, surfaces, partial differentiation, directional derivatives, lagrange multipliers, multiple integrals, cylindrical coordinates, spherical coordinates and Jacobians. There will be nine online quizzes and online homework along with a Midterm and Final. The Midterm and final each count as 25% of the final grade . The Midterm and Final must be taken at one of the College's testing sites. Be sure to go over the Smart Board notes since that is what is covered in class. This course is designed for the mature math student who is willing to put in many hours learning the material. Course Compass is the online tool for the course. MYMATHLAB is used in this course.
