Text: Algebra and Trigonometry with Analytic 12th Ed. By Swokowski & Cole Instructor: Amanda Dibble Phone: 507-274-6111 ext. 48 Email: [email protected] Location: TC202 Time: 9:15 – 10:02 MTWRF Extra Help Available: 7:45 – 8:25 a.m. and 3:00 – 3:30, every day Prerequisites: Passing grade in Algebra II or College Algebra. Junior or senior status.

Grading Homework 10% of grade One assignment will be given per section. Late work will not be accepted. Assignments should be organized and show all steps. Exams 60% of grade There will be one exam per chapter. All exams are weighted the same, even though they may be worth different points. During exams you may not consult books, notes, or any person except the instructor. Doing so, including looking at another person’s test during an exam, constitutes academic dishonesty and will be treated as such. Students are expected to take the exams when scheduled. Should a student miss an exam, it needs to be made up within two days of student’s return. Final Exam 30% of grade One comprehensive final exam at the end of the course will be given. Students must be present for the final exam and will not be allowed to complete the final exam at any other time other than the scheduled class time.
