  1. Math 25Trigonometry Four Options in Eureka for Spring 2014: MATH-25-E5151 (035151) College Trigonometry MATH-25-E5228 (035228) College Trigonometry MATH-25-E5600 (035600) College Trigonometry MATH-25-E5152 (035152) College Trigonometry

  2. Four Options:Here are the main differences

  3. There is one Morning Section of Math 25 Trigonometry: MATH-25-E5151 (035151) The Morning Section is . . . • scheduled for 3 days/wk (MWF) • in the morning (10:05-11:20 am) • taught by Dr. Bruce Wagner • in room SC204 • and is a “regular” 3-day-a-week math class.

  4. There is one Mid-Day Section of Math 25 Trigonometry: MATH-25-E5228 (035228) The Mid-Day Section is . . . • scheduled for 3 days/wk (MWF) • during mid-day (11:40 am - 12:55 pm) • taught by Dr. Erik Kramer • in rooms SC208 (MW) and SC206 (Fri) • and is a “regular” 3-day-a-week math class.

  5. The “Hybrid” Section MATH-25-E5600 (035600) MW 6:05pm - 7:30pm, in SC 204 Plus online work (Days TBA, Times TBA) because this is a “hybrid” section – part in-class and part online. The “Regular” Section MATH-25-E5152 (035152) MW 6:05pm - 8:10pm, inSC 204 That’s all the in-class time... Because this is a “regular” classroom section. Just in class. Twice a week, 2 hours each time. There are twoevening sections of Math 25 Trigonometry.Both meet MW at 6:05pm in SC204! They “overlap” in this special hybrid-hybrid Math 25 format:

  6. Four sections of Math 25 Different formats of delivery, but ALL are MATH 25 … so … … it’s the SAMEGREATMATH no matter which you take!

  7. Math 25 and Math 30 are the “Pre-Calculus” courses at CR • At College of the Redwoods, both Math 25 and Math 30 are prerequisites for Calculus (Math 50A). • Both Math 25 and Math 30 are taught with the expectation that students in Math 25 and Math 30 are preparing to continue on to take Calculus later. • Math 25 and Math 30 can be taken in either order (either one can be taken first), and some students choose to take them both in the same semester. • If you are not planning to take Calculus, and if you are only taking Math 25 for G.E., you might enjoy taking Trigonometry just for fun! Or … you might consider taking a different math class instead.

  8. Other Math G.E. Courses For Spring 2014 at CR’s Eureka Campus, here are options for other Math General Education courses: • Math 5 “Contemporary Mathematics”Math 5 is CSU Transferable for G.E. (OK for CSUs, like HSU, but not for the UC system).Math 5 is a 3-unit “smorgasbord” type of class. Topics can vary somewhat, because there is so much to choose from. • Math 15 “Elementary Statistics”Many degree programs require statistics, and you can take it at CR. There are 7 sections to choose from this semester at the Eureka campus. Check them out if you are not planning to take Calculus.

  9. What are the main differences between Math 25 daytime and evening sections? • Day sections: • Earlier in the day (some people do better with math classes earlier in the day – some people don’t) • Shorter classes – so less math to digest each time • meet more often – have to attend 3 days a week • Scheduled teachers are Bruce Wagner (10am), Erik Kramer (11:40) • Same textbook – either 7th or 8th edition can be used • Both the Evening sections: • Later in the day (some people do better later in the day – or do not have a choice due to work schedules or other commitments) • Longer class periods – which can make learning difficult because you get more material in each class • meet less often – potentially fewer trips to campus • Longer time between classes (from Wed to Mon) so less opportunity for help and more opportunity to forget • Scheduled to be taught by Tami Matsumoto • Same textbook – can use 7th or 8th edition or even the 6th

  10. What are the differences between the two evening sections? • “Hybrid” section: • Less time in class • More work required on your own • “Regular” section: • More time in class. • More time for examples and questions in class. The “hybrid” class goes to 7:30. The “regular” class goes till 8:10 pm – basically 40 minutes longer each Monday and Wednesday.

  11. Differences between the two evening sections, continued • “Hybrid” section: • part in-class and part online • a lot of required online work that students must do, outside of class, on their own time, on a computer, doing lots of assignments using OPTIMATH (our online math testing system). • “Regular” section: • some online assignments, but not nearly as many – mostly just for supplemental practice.

  12. Differences between the two evening sections, continued • “Hybrid” section: • Exams are all taken online, in the ASC, outside of scheduled class time. So you must block out other times in your schedule during ASC open hours, to be on campus to take exams. • “Regular” section: • Exams will be given on paper, in a traditional way, during class time (unless there are take-home exams).

  13. Differences between the two evening sections, continued • “Hybrid” section: • Exams can be taken more than once, as long as they are not taken on the same day, and not past the deadline. So if you are not happy with your score, and still have at least another day before the deadline, you have the option for a re-do! The higher (or highest) score counts – not the last score. • “Regular” section: • Exams can only be taken once. If you have a “bad day” you do not get a second chance, like in the “hybrid” class.

  14. Differences between the two sections, continued • “Hybrid” section: • With the online exams, you might work out a whole problem using pages of paper, and if you get the wrong answer just from even one mistake, it would be marked wrong. • “Regular” section: • With the paper exams, partial credit is possible.

  15. A note about the Evening sections If you registered for either of the evening sections, … … since they both meet MW at 6:05, we will all meet together when the semester begins. You will have opportunities to switch to the other section during the first week of classes, if you choose to do so. So you do not have to decide which one to take right now … you can sign up for either one now.

  16. A note about the Evening sections, continued • If you do not think either of the evening sections will suit you, then you should register for the morning section or the mid-day section instead. • Additionally, ... if you are NOT planning to continue on to take Calculus, then you might like to consider a completely different Math course instead, such as Math 15 or Math 5, depending on your needs.

  17. “myCR,” textbook, and Optimath (oh, my!) • “myCR” (Sakai) online course management system will be used to disseminate information about the course • Textbook: Algebra & Trigonometry, by Michael Sullivan • OPTIMATH: (Online Practice and Testing In Mathematics) will be used for some of the online math practice and testing

  18. Textbook:Algebra & Trigonometry, by Michael Sullivan(Note: At CR, the same textbook is used for both Math 25 and Math 30)

  19. Additional Materials • A Graphing Calculator is required (for all sections of Math 25 and Math 30)TI-83 or TI-84 recommendedNOTE: There are a limited number of graphing calculators available for rent from the Math Dept ($20 per semester). You will be able to get them in the ASC (in the Math Lab area) during the first weeks of classes. • A Bound Notebook is required for the Evening Sections (not sure about the day sections)In addition to the textbook, you will need to get a Bound Notebook with grid paper (such as a “Comp Book” – but make sure it has GRID (or GRAPH) paper in it -- NOTE: CR bookstore usually sells these for about $3, and Staples occasionally has these on sale for $1 or so.

  20. Additional Information • The Math Department has a webpage for each math course. The page for Math 25 is: http://msenux.redwoods.edu/mathdept/courses/math25.php • In particular, you might like to read "Student Information and Help Resources"on that page

  21. Additional Information • Contact Tami Matsumoto if you would like more information, particularly about the “hybrid-hybrid” evening classes. • Email: tami-matsumoto@redwoods.edu • Phone: (707) 476-4543 • Office: Room SC 205-B, behind the copy machine in the “Science” Building, at CR’s main Eureka campus
