Audits: Must be registered during the first week of class. You will not receive a grade or credit for the course.8 INCOMPLETES will be given only in accordance with the JCC policy. (Excerpt from JCC policy) A student may request an incomplete from the instructor. The incomplete will be granted only if the student can provide documentation that his or her work up to that point is sufficient in quality, but lacking in quantity, due to circumstances beyond the student’s control. Furthermore, a written plan for making up the missing work within one semester must be completed by the student. Final determination of whether an incomplete will be given is the instructor’s decision.ELECTRONIC DEVICES POLICY:MATH 120.13 –BEGINNING ALGEBRA Fall Semester 2007MATH 120.73 – BEGINNING ALGEBRAFall Semester 2007Class Time: Tuesday& Thursday 3:00PM to 5:34PM(classes from 09/04/07 to 11/29/07)Text: Beginning Algebra, 4th editionAuthor: K.

Intelligence plus character.... that is the goal of education."Dr. Martin Luther KingCourse Description:Math 120 is the study of the following: variables and variable expressions, integers, laws of exponents, Equations (linear, quadratic, rational, radical, and absolute value), linear inequalities, linear systems, coordinate graphing and problem solving.Prerequisite(s): Math 110 or equivalentCourse Goals : The purpose of this course is to develop a progressive understanding of more basic algebraic skills, concepts, and problem solving techniques; to obtain a sense of how and why algebra is used, and to be able to relate these problems and use the learned problem solving techniques to real life applications. Great emphasis will be placed on understanding of terms, concepts, principles and theories rather than cramming and memorization.Performance Objectives:I. Core Course Objectives :1. Simplify basic algebraic, exponential, rational, and radical expressions using mathematical processes and symbol manipulation.2. Use algebraic processes to solve linear, quadratic, rational, radical and literal equations and linear systems of equations.3. Demonstrate understanding of concepts of linear equations by: graphing a linear equation, finding x- and y- intercepts, and finding the slope of a line.4. Solve basic application problems using algebraic processes and procedural techniques.5. Demonstrate a knowledge of current technology and its uses and/or scientific issues.II. Associate Degree Outcomes :All courses at Jackson Community College address one or more institutionally defined Associate Degree Outcomes (ADO). ADO 1: Write clearly, concisely and intelligibly (3 credits)ADO 2: Speak clearly, concisely and intelligibly.ADO 3: Demonstrate computational skills and mathematical reasoning (3-5 credits)ADO 4: Demonstrate scientific reasoning (4-5 credits)ADO 5: Understand human behavior and social systems the principles which govern them, and their implications for the present and future (3-4 credits)ADO 6: Understand aesthetic experience and artistic creativity (3 credits)ADO 7: Think critically .ADO 8: Make responsible decisions in personal and professional contextsPage 5 of 10MATH 120.13 –BEGINNING ALGEBRA Fall Semester 2007ADO 9: Work productively with
