Office Hours: MWF 2-3, and, by appointment MWF 4-5. But, you can come by at other times.
Text: Algebra & Trigonometry, by Michael Sullivan, 5th Edition. (I am not the author! We are not even related.) We will cover chapters 1-6, and some of 11 & 12. It is assumed that much of the material in Chapters 1 and 2 is review.
Calculators: You should get a scientific calculator like the TI-30. Programmable and graphing calculators are prohibited.
Final Exam: There will be a two hour comprehensive final exam.
Grades: Your course grade will be computed as follows: required homework 10% (only your ten best scores will count); quizzes 10% (lowest two dropped), three tests, 20% each; final exam 20%. But, you must get at least 50% on the final to pass with a C.
Cheating: The minimum penalty for cheating on a test is a grade of F in the course. The Dean's Office may wish to take further action. This is a big no no. There may be multiple versions of the tests and quizzes. You may work together on the homework but the work you turn in should be your own.
Attendance: Students are required to attend all class meetings except for illness or a family emergency. I enforce attendance by not accepting late homework, or giving makeup quizzes. I also enforce attendance by converting to zero any homework or quiz that is not picked up. So, come to class!
