The Exponents and Radicals module is separated into two parts -- exponents and radicals.  Each part has two subtopics. Each subtopic has a video lecture page and a practice assignment. The video lecture page includes guided notes in pdf form and videos that follow the guided notes.  There are also Word document versions of the notes in the "files" section of this course for instructor convenience.  Each video lecture page also includes supplemental YouTube videos which are optional for students and may be used if further instruction is needed.  The practice assignment is a set of exercises in Derivita that correspond to the skills covered in the video lecture.There are also two review assignments in this module -- one for exponents and one for radicals.  These assignments cover everything from that part of the module, rather than being broken up into parts like the practice assignments. So there are a total of six assignments in the module and instructors can choose which assignments are most appropriate for their students' needs.This work, by Madilyn Marshall, is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.CC-BY
