Is there anyone out there that is doing a different order of units other than then one that is in the textbook.
Can you please share your reasons why?
Thank you.

Re: Course Planning
My plan is slightly out of order from the textbook, as follows:
Unit 1: Set Theory and Probabality (Exclude 3.3) (25%)
Unit 2: Counting Methods (Include 3.3) (25%)
Unit 3: Rational Expressions and Equations (14%)
Unit 4: Polynomial and Sinusoidal Functions (18%)
Unit 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions (18%)
Why? I like fewer units. I think it'll be interesting to make some connections (or not) between certain polynomial and sinusoidal graphs.
What do you think about the weighting distribution?

Re: Course Planning
This is what the Diploma Examination is going to emphasize
Logic & Reasoning -- 17%
Probability -- 33%
Relations and Functions -- 50%
So I think you are right on track with your weightings. However, just a question, how much are you going to weight the Research Project?
Re: Course Planning
I'm not thinking of doing the research project this semester (being the first time through the course); perhaps I may in the second semester. However, I'll try to incorporate some mini-projects, as time allows, into each unit.
Within each unit, I'm thinking of assigning the weightings to be: Unit exam (70%) and Quizzes and Assignments (including mini-projects) (30%).
What's your plan?
