alternate Calculus links #19

resolves #17

Good catch on the hours/week, that was definitely a slip up. I think that the number should actually be 9 hours. My reasoning: Average course offers 3 credit hours. Recommendations for undergrads are that students spend 3x the credit hours on a course (though surveys suggest the actual time spent is 2x). I assume that the text will have the same time commitment as a semester college course. Hence 9 hours per week for 15 weeks.

@waciumawanjohi OK to merge?

waciumawanjohi commented 2 years ago

Looks good. One quick question, is there meant to be a second alt on the integration course? There's an alt1 but no alt2.

spamegg1 commented 2 years ago

I got the alternate links from the Computer Science curriculum. Calculus 1 had two links, whereas the others only had one. So now Calc 1 has 3 links, and the others have 2 each.

I guess right now it looks kind of... uneven.

I guess I could go look for one... There is: edX, OLL, and OCW.

I think I understand the issue now. The older OCW versions have a different separation of Calculus, into TWO courses (Single and Multi variable). The newer edX/OLL versions instead split single variable calculus into THREE courses.

The older OCW Single variable course actually covers roughly the equivalent of Calculus 1A and 1B, even a portion of 1C (infinite series).

Maybe it's better to remove the alt2 link then? I'll do that.

Good to go!
