2. Notes from a Pre-Calculus Class
• Ex Memphis, TN is due North of New
Orleans (29°57 'N-latitude). The
distance between them is 359.4
miles. Assume the radius of the Earth
is 3960 miles. What is the latitude of
Memphis?
• s=395.4 miles , s=rӨ, r=3960
• 359.4 = 3960 Ө ,
• s=r
• Ө = 359.4
3960 ≈ .0908 radians
• 0908 r x. 180 ≈ 5.2° = 5° 12’
π .
[2°(60) = 12‘]
•
29° 57’+5°12' = 35°9’ = latitude of
Memphis

4. Notes from a History class
• 1st Crusade – Muslims are divided
takes Jerusalem
• kill all non Christians –Jews, Zoroastrians, etc
• Europeans create Kingdom of Jerusalem
King of Jerusalem-Baldwin IV -- creates peace
treaty w / Muslims
nobles answer to him
Hospitalers – offered shelter to sick and injured
Knights Templars – a product of the crusades to
protect pilgrims The are Knights and monks that
answer to the Pope not the King of Jerusalem
Against peace with the Muslims
Baldwin IV -- has no sons and he is a leper
The peace treaty is in force until he dies
-> his sister (Sybille) -> marries Guy of Lusignan (he
was exiled for killing the Earl of Salisbury) and goes
to the Holy Land remission of sins
Gains access to power – becomes the Lord of Jaffa
and Ascalon
Baldwin dies – his nephew (a child) succeeds
Guy appointed regent – faint hearted in conflict with
Muslims so banished
Now Sybilla is queen and can choose anyone to be king
She chooses Guy – He sides with the Templars
and wants to break treaty Supports
actions to break treaty
5. Teachers perspective
• They are able to have a record of the
class as it happened.
• There are notes that the whole class can
access.
• Simplifies recreating a class for absent
students.
• Eliminates the need to provide students
with note-takers/ class outlines.
6. Tutors Perspective
• Are able to help students improve their
note-taking skills
• Do not need to rely on what notes the
student took for understanding what
happened in class
• Can use the notes and recording to help
students clarify their understanding of the
material.
7. Students Perspective
• Able to clarify their notes when something
is missing at any time
• Some benefit from being able to listen to
the class or a portion of the class a
second time
• ESOL students benefit from being able to
pause or listen again and look up words
as they study.
