Text: A Graphical Approach to Algebra and Trigonometry 5th ed by Hornsby, Lial & RockswoldORPrecalculus Algebra and Trigonometry, custom ed., Hornsby, Lial, Rockswold • Get your textbook as soon as possible • You may use the eBook through MyMathLab • Solutions manual is your option • MyMathLab is mandatory for homework • See your syllabus for course ID • Start a notebook • Half for notes • Half for homework • Keep it neat and organized

  5. Graphing Calculators • Get a graphing calculator immediately • TI84 Smartview is used in class • Other models can be acceptable for use • TI-Nspire may not be used during a test • Some tests may have a no calculator part • Bring your calculator to class everyday • Practice using your calculator • In-class exercises • Homework • Do not wait until the day of a test

  6. Grading Scale

  7. Method of Grading • 4 tests • Cumulative final exam • Homework • Quizzes • Extra credit • If all four test scores are 90% or above you are exempt from the final exam

  8. Homework Check-up • All homework is done through MyMathLab. • Each homework grade is determined the day of the test. • Each homework grade is determined the day of the test. I average the homework section grades and then take this percentage of 15 points.

  9. Quiz Check-up • 5 Quizzes • Lowest score dropped • May not make up if absent, late, or leave early

  10. Extra Credit • Take home problems • From the textbook or online • Turned in on test day • Take advantage of all opportunities • Possible to improve class grade by a letter

  11. Attendance • Taken daily • Deadline for grade of W is March 19, 2012 • No instructor may give a grade of W after March 19, 2012 • No W can be given for 3rd attempt • You may be withdrawn before the above date if you miss 4 consecutive classes without contacting instructor • You may be given a grade of F after the above date if you miss 4 consecutive classes without contacting instructor

  12. Test Taking Policies • NO make-up tests unless: • Medical emergency with documentation • Make arrangements ahead of time • Final exam score counts twice and replaces first missed test score • 2nd missed test gets a score of 0

  13. Prerequisites • Grade of C or better in College Algebra or Precalculus, or • Acceptable placement test score • It is your responsibility to make sure these prerequisites have been met • If they have not been met, please see me after class • It is important to get into the correct class as early as possible

  14. Academic Integrity • Honesty is expected • Cheating on tests will result in • Grade of 0 on that test • Possible 0 for the course • Quizzes are just like tests • Students may work together on out of class extra credit problems

  15. COMMON COURTESIES • Put your cell phone away when you enter class • If phone usage is seen or heard during class there may be an immediate pop quiz for the entire class • If there is a possibility of an emergency call you must alert me before class begins • Arrive late or leave early-sit by door • Close door quietly • No side conversations-distracts others

  16. Schedule • It will be adhered to as close as possible • All changes to test dates will be announced in class • Know when your tests are scheduled-be prepared! • Must move at a very fast pace to complete all material

  18. Study Groups • 2 or more students in a group • 10 or more hours over the semester • Drop lowest test score OR • At the date of the final if you are satisfied with your course grade and have not scored less than 50% on any test then you may opt out of the final exam. If any test or the homework/quiz grade is below 50% then you may not drop the final exam grade. • Flexible • Communicate with each other • Time sheets turned in every 5 weeks • 1st and last names • Class title • Totals • All timesheets submitted by the day of the 4th test
