Complete Instructor Schedule: http://schedule.efc.dcccd.edu/select.asp Department Website: http://www.eastfieldcollege.edu/as/Math/index.asp INSTRUCTOR CONTACT INFORMATION My preferred method of contact is by email. Please keep in mind that it is against the law (FERPA) for me to discuss grades with you via phone or email. See me in person if you need to discuss your personal academic progress or grades in this course. COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is a study of relations and functions including polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and special functions. Other topics include complex numbers, systems of equations and inequalities, theory of equations, progressions, the binomial theorem, proofs, and applications. PREREQUISITE Two years of high school algebra and an appropriate assessment score or Developmental Mathematics 0099 COURSE INTRODUCTION You have enrolled in a Computerized Modular Mathematics (CMM) class. This exciting new mode of instruction has distinct differences from others. In CMM, you will work through individualized computer-based modules with the support and guidance of two instructors. You will receive both one-to-one assistance and full group instruction. This is not a self-paced class although there are some elements of that mode of instruction. You can always work ahead, however, deadlines will be enforced. Don’t fall behind.Division of College Readiness and Mathematics COURSE MATERIALS You are NOT required to purchase a textbook. You are required to purchase a My Math Lab Access Code. College Algebra, Fifth Edition, Blitzer, 2010. ISBN:0-321-55983-5 Website: http://pearsonmylabandmastering.com/ Course ID: payne43697 CALCULATOR A graphing calculator is required for this course. You may choose your own graphing calculator model; however, TI 83 or TI 84 version is strongly preferred. Graphing calculators may not be allowed during some examinations. GRADING RATIONALE A: 90-100%; B: 80-89%; C: 70-79%; D: 60-69%; F: below 60% GRADING POLICY Your grade will be determined as follows: Category Percentage Attendance and Participation* 10% Homework 10% Quizzes 10% Module Tests (4 total) 40% Final Exam 30% *All students must achieve a minimum of 70% in this area to pass this course. MASTERY LEARNING Mastery learning is a major tenant of this course. This means that you will not be able to proceed to the next topic until you have mastered the skills being covered. All homework, quizzes and tests require mastery. For the purpose of this course, mastery is defined as a minimum score of 80%. POLICY ON MISSED TESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS All assignments have strict deadlines. Due dates are non-negotiable and can be viewed in My Math Lab. Homework All homework problems for this course are to be completed through My Math Lab. You are responsible for doing the problems over the material covered in class each day by the next class, checking your solutions, and asking your questions during the next class. Homework can be remediated as many times as necessary to achieve mastery. Deadlines are stated in My Math Lab. Late work will be penalized 10%.Division of College Readiness and Mathematics Quizzes All quiz assignments for this course are to be completed through My Math Lab. Quizzes can be remediated as many times as necessary to achieve mastery. Quiz deadlines are stated in My Math Lab. Late work will be penalized 10%. Tests Pre- and Post-Test deadlines are stated in My Math Lab. All tests must be taken during class time. The maximum score for late tests is 80%. INSTRUCTIONAL COMPONENTS This course is divided into four modules. The components of each module are described below. PreTest The pretest is the first assignment you will complete for each module. PreTests cover material from all corresponding sections of that module. These assessments must be completed independently during class time. Students have only 1 attempt for each pretest. While this assignment is optional, it is highly recommended. Since objectives mastered in PreTest will not be included in homework, pretests can make your homework assignments significantly shorter. PreTests do not count toward your course grade. A password (supplied by your instructor) is required to access the pretest. Homework Module homework is created based on pretest results. Problems mastered in your pretest will not appear in your homework assignments. - Video Assignments – Videos are the first part of every section. Watch these lessons carefully and take notes. - Homework Policies: o Unlimited attempts for full credit before due date o Must achieve a minimum of 80% mastery to move on o Late assignments will be subject to 10% penalty o My Math Lab help buttons can be used for assistance o Can be completed outside of class time o During class, use flip card to alert instructor if you need help Quizzes Quizzes cover multiple homework sections. These assessments summarize the main points of those sections. Quiz Policies: - Unlimited attempts for full credit before due date - Must achieve a minimum of 80% mastery to move on - Late assignments will be subject to 10% penalty - No My Math Lab help buttons - Can be completed outside of class timeDivision of College Readiness and Mathematics Tests Module tests cover topics from all sections of that module. Your instructor will supply a password for all tests in this course including retests. Test Policies: - Must achieve a minimum score of 80% mastery to move on - Scores below 80% generate remediation assignment - Remediation assignment must be completed to 80% mastery to qualify for retest - Unlimited attempts for full credit before due date - Maximum score of 80% after due date - No My Math Lab help buttons - Must be completed independently during class time FINAL EXAM After you have
