Two class tests (length 1 hour each) weighted at 25% which will assess learning outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 4.
An assignment weighted at 50% which will assess learning outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Numeracy: arithmetic operations, percentages, powers, roots, average.
Algebra: laws of indices, logarithms, solution of equations, transformation of formulae.
Trigonometry: graphs, general solution of simple trigonometric equations.
Differentiation of simple functions, products, quotients, composites; application to extrema problems.
Complex numbers including polar form.
Integration
Introduction to matrices

The learning strategies will require students to commit 150 learning hours, of which 36 hours will consist of contact time. A combination of lectures (24 Hours) and tutorial/workshops (12 hours, 20 students per group) will provide students with the opportunity to develop a range of mathematical skills.
A further 114 hours of independent study will require students to further develop and practise these skills using a combination of formative and summative assessment exercises independently and as part of a small group.

THIS MODULE WILL NORMALLY RUN IN SEMESTER 1

This module may be delivered full-time on a block delivery basis at West Cheshire College.
