This document contains notes from two different classes: pre-calculus and history. The pre-calculus notes show a step-by-step solution to calculating the latitude of Memphis, TN given its distance from New Orleans and assumptions about Earth's radius. The history notes discuss events of the first crusade such as the capture of Jerusalem, establishment of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and internal political struggles over a peace treaty with Muslims.

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.
