MEETING INFORMATION

Attendance Policy: Instructors can no longer withdraw students for any reason. A student may voluntarily withdraw from a class at any point in the semester. If the student withdraws from class on or before the withdrawal date the student will receive a grade of “W”. If the student withdraws from the class after this withdrawal date, the student will receive a grade of “WF”, which is subsequently averaged as an F. Any student identified by an instructor as not attending at least ONCE during the first two weeks of class will be considered a “No Show” and automatically withdrawn with a grade of “W”. After the first two weeks those not actively participating (such as attending class and taking tests) in the class on or before the 60% point (and have not dropped the course) will administratively assigned a grade of “WF”. All 3rd attempt students will be issued a grade of “WF” if they withdraw from the course at any point during the semester or if they fail to meet the attendance/active participation requirements for the class. Repeatedly entering class late is unacceptable. This course is not for text messaging, listening to music, sleeping, reading (other than math) or other similar behavior. Please turn off cell phones/pagers before class begins.

SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS If you wish to request accommodations as a student with a documented disability, please make a appointment with the Learning Specialist on campus. If you have a documented hearing loss, please contact the Program for the Deaf/Hard of Hearing at 791-2628. If you will need assistance during an emergency classroom evacuation, please contact your campus learning specialist immediately about arrangements for your safety. The Office of Services for Students with Disabilities can be reached at 791-2628 or 791-2710 (CL), 341-4758 (SP/G), 394-6108 (SE) 712-5789 (TS) or 341-4532 (AC).

COURSE GOALS

1. The student will demonstrate an understanding of properties and terminology when working with mathematical expressions.

2. The student will demonstrate an understanding of algorithmic processes and concepts when performing algebraic manipulations, interpretations and computations on mathematical expressions, equations and inequalities.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. The student will demonstrate an understanding of properties and terminology when working with mathematical expressions by:

a. using precise mathematical language.

b. applying the order of operations agreement to simplify expressions involving integers, exponents and radicals.

c. simplifying and performing operations with radical expressions.

d. using functional notation to evaluate a function.

2. The student will demonstrate an understanding of algorithmic processes and concepts when performing algebraic manipulations, interpretations and computations on mathematical expressions, equations and inequalities by:

a. solving literal equations which involve factoring a common factor.

b. multiplying and dividing exponential expressions with rational exponents.

c. factoring polynomials including the sum and difference of cubes.

d. adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing algebraic fractions including monomial, binomial, and trinomial denominators expressing the result in simplified form.

e. solving radical equations involving one radical expression (square root).

f.. writing an equation in slope-intercept, standard and general form for a line which passes through two given points.

g. writing an equation in slope-intercept, standard and general form for a line when given the slope and a point on the line.

h. solving systems of linear equations in two variables graphically and algebraically.

i. solving systems of linear inequalities in two variables by graphing.

j. solving real world problems using one or two variables.

k. solving quadratic equations by factoring, completing the square and using the quadratic formula.

l. solving real world problems which require the use of quadratic equations.

m. graphing quadratic functions including finding the vertex, axis of symmetry and x- and y- intercepts.

n. solving rational equations.

o. performing operations on complex numbers and write the answer in standard form (a + bi). PREREQUISITES (IF APPLICABLE)

MAT 0028 or appropriate knowledge of a first course in Algebra.

GRADING: There are three regular tests and a comprehensive final, which makes at total of four multiple choice tests (of equal weight). I will drop your lowest score on the first three tests or if you miss a test that is your lowest score. Then the three remaining scores will be averaged. There ore no retests or make-up tests. Any additional tests missed will result in a zero for those tests. If you miss the final, you fail the course. All or most tests use Scantron 882. No calculators maybe used on any of the tests except a simple calculator for the final. Be neat on tests and assignments. If I can’t find it or read it, it will be considered wrong. Grading Scale: 90-100 =A, 80-89 = B, 70-79 = C, 60-69 = D below 59 F..

ACADEMIC HONESTY

St. Petersburg College has an Academic Honesty policy. It is your responsibility to be familiar with the policies, rules, and the consequences of violations. Read about the policy at: http://www.spcollege.edu/webcentral/admit/honesty.htm. There is no tolerance for cheating and academic dishonesty. Discipline can range from a zero on that specific assignment to expulsion from the class with a grade of F. Note that copy/pasting published information, whether it's from your textbook or the Internet, without citing your source is plagiarism and violates this policy. Even if you change the words slightly, the ideas are someone else's, so you still have to cite your sources. Cheating, plagiarism, bribery, misrepresentation, conspiracy and fabrication are defined in Rule 6Hx23-4.461, Student Affairs: Academic Honesty Guidelines, Classroom Behavior.
