LESSON LAUNCH VIDEOS

This section contains links to Lesson Launch videos that I have created for my Precalculus and Calculus II courses.  All videos are hosted on YouTube and are ad-free.  (Precalculus videos are roughly aligned to Sullivan's Trigonometry with Applications, and Calculus II videos are roughly aligned to Calculus: Single and Multivariable by Hughes Hallett et al.)

​

In my classes, students are expected to watch a specified set of videos before class and submit brief summaries and questions to Blackboard.  I then use these summaries and questions to guide a brief in-class lecture on any parts of the videos that seemed unclear or challenging for students.  The goal is to quickly equip students with the basic ideas they need to engage in a mathematical activity in class, so that they can gain confidence and ask additional questions while we are together.
