The textbook used for this course is College Algebra with Intermediate Algebra: A Blended Course by Beecher/Penna/Johnson/Bittinger. Books a La Carte Edition Plus New MyLab Math --- Access Card Package, 1st ed, ISBN 978-0134556017. If desired, you may purchase only a new MyLab Math Standalone Access Card Package for the course (which includes access to the homework assignments and online textbook); ISBN 978-0135234532. Students need to purchase either the textbook with the Access Card Package, or only the Access Card Package. 2. A graphing calculator is required. A TI-83 or TI-84 (any version) is recommended. However, it should be one without a computer algebra system or algebraic manipulation ability. 3. Two spiral notebooks (or one 2-subject notebook) are recommended (not required): one for class notes, the other to be used for working your homework problems. Notes: - You will have access to the full textbook as an ebook/etext within MyMathLab if you purchase the New MyLab Math --- Access Card Package. - A 14-day FREE temporary access to MyMathLab is available so that you may get started on the course. Your access must be updated with a valid, purchased code prior to the end of the 14 days or your access will be closed. - CAUTION: Be careful not to purchase a MyLabsPlus or a MyMathLab code for Sullivan College Algebra or Trigsted College Algebra. Neither of these is the correct code for this course and each will cause you to have to purchase another code (the correct one) for this course.3 Units of Instruction/Tentative Class Calendar: MATH1314 + 0315 Corequisite Summer 2019 Subject to change Week Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 1 July 8 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 9 1.6, 2.1, 2.2 2.3, 2.4 10 2.5, 2.6 2.7, F.1 Quiz 1 due 11:59pm 11 Test #1 11.2, F.4, 3.4 12 No Class 2 15 4.1, 4.2 4.3 16 4.4 4.5, 4.6 17 4.7, 4.8 Quiz 2 due 11:59pm 18 Test #2 5.1, 5.2 19 No Class 3 22 5.3, 5.4 5.5, 5.6 23 6.1, 6.2 6.3, 6.4 24 6.5, 6.6 6.8 Quiz 3 due 11:59pm 25 Test #3 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 26 No Class 4 29 7.4, 7.5 8.1, 8.2 30 8.3, 8.4 8.5, 8.6 Drop date 31 9.1, 9.2 9.3, 9.4 Aug 1 9.5, 9.6 9.7 Quiz 4 due 11:59pm 2 No Class 5 5 Test #4 10.1, 10.2 6 12.1, 12.2, 12.7 7 Final Review 8 Final Exam No Class4 Homework Assignments: All homework assignments are due as shown in MyMathLab. MyMathLab does not accept work after it is due, and there are no extensions for any reason. Assignments are found on the MyMathLab website, mymathlab.com. Each assignment is labeled with the number of problems that it contains. Each problem has 4 similar problems available. Use “Help Me Solve It” wisely; if you click on it before grading a problem, it uses up one similar problem. However, it is a very useful tool and is still accessible on a problem after it has been graded. You will also want to make use of the “View an Example” feature. This is an example that will also guide you through the working of a problem. Keep up with your homework assignments and have them completed on time. Students who keep on pace with their homework assignment due dates usually have much better exam grades than those who fall behind schedule. Homework problems not worked by their due date will be assigned a score of zero. Allow time for computer problems -- do not wait until the last minute to submit work. Computers are available on campus; you do not have to have a computer or internet access at home, unless you do not want to work on campus. It is your responsibility to know the computer lab hours if you choose to only work on campus and to plan accordingly. In the event of a class cancellation due to inclement weather or instructor absence, students should continue to follow this calendar and submit assignments at the scheduled times. Use your textbook and the features of MyMathLab such as videos and animations and the Study Plan to gain an understanding of the material. Quizzes: There are 4 quizzes in MyMathLab (MML) that help you review for each exam. A review quiz is due by the date and time indicated in MML and on the syllabus. You will be able to take each review quiz up to 2 times, if you wish. Your best score on a quiz (if you take it more than once) will be kept. Each exam will be based on its review quiz, so be sure to have your exam review quiz and homework assignments (that are covered on an exam) done before you take an exam so you can do well. Quizzes not taken by their due date will be assigned a score of zero. Exams: There are 4 regular exams and one final exam. The Final Exam is comprehensive and will be taken in your classroom on the date specified on the syllabus.
