Course intentions: Intermediate level course in
the area of mathematics that requires the
student to have knowledge of algebra and
functions. The qualification skills that are sought
to be strengthened or developed with this course
are: creatively solving problems by applying the
knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired in the
different academic areas; apply knowledge, skills
and attitudes in the evaluation and resolution of
multidisciplinary problems; and design innovative
projects integrating different content and
technological resources in solving various
problems. Because of learning, the student will
be able to apply the concept of derivative in
problems in which it is necessary to obtain the
instantaneous rate of change.
Course methodology: In this course, the
teacher will be able to make their explanations in
front of a group, using the flipped classroom
(tutorials, videos, presentations, etc.) and
developing collaborative activities under a
methodology called 4Mat.
The course contains different educational
resources, which support the teacher and
student, such as interactive presentations, video
tutorials, and Geogebra applications.
Students will have the opportunity to train in
each session doing exercises proposed by the
teacher (theoretical exercises), and exercises
applied to real life to give an actual meaning to
what they have learned.
To make the learning process more interactive,
students will use applications to manipulate
mathematical objects, so that the student learns
the concepts in greater depth, understands their
use and the applications that Calculus I has in a
real context.
Platform: Canvas https://experiencia21.tec.mx
and Webassign https://www.webassign.net are
going to be used during the course.

Duration, punctuality, and attendance to the
sessions: after the hour and the door will be
closed. Once the door is closed, the entrance to
the classroom is not allowed. Avoid interrupting
the class. There are no late arrivals.
Attendance will be taken every class. Students
can leave the classroom only in cases of
emergency (at the discretion of the teacher).
The students will be considered absent of class if
he or she is asked to leave the classroom or
leaves the room without any reason.
If the teacher does not arrive on time, students
must go to the Department for instructions on
reprogramming the class.
The minimum required percentage of attendance
to qualify for the final exam is 88%, or 82% if
the student has an average of greater than or
equal to 83. It will be the student's responsibility
to keep track of their absences.
Ways of communicating: The student will have
different means of communication with his/her
teacher, among them are the institutional email,
the Remind application and the Canvas platform.
