Text: College Algebra; Larson, 10th edition
Materials: You will need a scientific calculator - that is one which can calculate logarithms. A graphing calculator (such as the TI-83) is recommended but not required.
Grading Policy:
Comprehensive final exam (2 hour) - 200 points
4 midterm exams (1 hour, 100 points each, lowest score dropped) - 300 points
Homework (~24 assignments, 5 points each) - ~120 points -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total - ~620 points
Cutoffs: A - 90%
B - 80%
C - 70%
D - 60%
These cutoff points may be lowered. They will not be raised.
Special emphasis may be given to excellent scores on the final exam.
Exams need to be taken at the scheduled time unless there is a good reason (such as illness). Exceptions should be cleared with me in advance. The use of cell phones is not allowed during exams.
Homework: There will be homework assigned at the end of each class (between 20 and 24 assignments total). They will be graded at 5 points each, more for completeness than correctness. Homework relevant to each exam should be completed and turned in before the exam, otherwise a penalty may be assessed. For each assignment turned in, please write your name and the assignment number at the top of the first sheet.
Suggestions: To succeed in this class, the recommended approach is to make a steady effort for the entire semester, attending class consistently and working conscientiously on the homework. You should show your work on exams and strive to keep them neat and legible. Seek help when you need it. Don't hesitate to ask questions.
