1009650-135255St. Petersburg College ~ MGF 1106Liberal Arts Mathematics IFall, 201500St. Petersburg College ~ MGF 1106Liberal Arts Mathematics IFall, 2015Instructor: Janice KartsatosE-mail: kartsatos.janice@spcollege.eduOffice: NM Adjunct Office – NM 111Phone:(best to email – use above or email in mycourses)Office Hours: Before/After class – by appointment; Textbook:Math in our World, 2nd edition, by Sobecki, Bluman, & Schirck-Matthews ISBN: 9780072982534 or 9780077453503 for the SPC custom edition (NOTE: I do not require Math Zone.)Prerequisite:MAT 1033 or an appropriate score on the SPC mathematics placement test.Course description:This course will include topics related to mathematical logic, sets and systematic counting, probability, statistics, and geometry. History of mathematics, critical thinking skills, problem solving and appropriate use of technology will be incorporated throughout the course. This course is designed to satisfy three credits of the Gordon Rule that requires “six semester hours of mathematics coursework at the level of College Algebra or higher” but is not a prerequisite to any mathematics course.Course Objectives: See section preceding homework assignments.Attendance Policy: Students are required to attend class regularly and on time. ? Attendance will be recorded at the start of each period. Late arriving students are responsible for signing in at the end of the class to avoid being counted absent. ? Except in an emergency, a student who needs to leave early should notify the instructor at the beginning of the period. ? When absent, it is the student’s responsibility to learn what was missed (assignments, handouts, due dates, etc), and complete any assignmentsSPC Withdrawal Policy: Beginning January 2008, instructors can no longer withdraw students from classes. If a student wishes to withdraw from a course, it is the responsibility of the student to withdraw either online through MySPC or with the help of an advisor in the registration office. ? If the withdrawal is completed by Oct 2015, a grade of “W” will be recorded which does not impact the student’s GPA. ? If the withdrawal occurs after Oct. 22nd, 2015, the student will receive a grade of F. Students in the third attempt of a course who withdraw will receive an F regardless of the date of withdrawal. Students who do not attend during the first two weeks of classes will automatically be withdrawn from the course by the college and will still be responsible for the tuition and fees. ? Also, students who do not show sufficient active participation (i.e., completion of tests and quizzes and regular attendance) in the course at the two-thirds attendance mark, will receive a WF. Students who withdraw from all classes may be required to repay some or all of the financial aid received for the term. ? Should you consider totally withdrawing from all classes before Aug. 22nd, 2015 (for the fall session) it is important that you consult the Scholarships & Student Financial Assistance office on your home campus to understand your options and the consequences of total withdrawal. As a courtesy to others, please turn your cell phone off during class.Quizzes: A quiz (over the HW) will be given as per the schedule below. There are 14 quizzes scheduled throughout the semester. Your highest 12 quiz grades will be used in your grade calculation. NO MAKEUP QUIZZES OR EARLY QUIZZES WILL BE GIVEN. Be on time to class in order to take the quiz.Tests: There will be four (5) regular tests AND a mandatory Final Exam. For the first 5 tests, the lowest grade will be dropped. NO MAKE-UP TESTS WILL BE GIVEN. This includes taking test early. Tests MUST be taken in class on the assigned test day. Since you may drop your lowest test grade from the regular tests, if you miss a test, that will be the one dropped.Extra Credit – 5 ten point extra credit assignments will be given throughout the semester.Assigned Work: Problems are assigned, but will not be graded. You will need to do the homework to prepare for the quizzes. Calculator:The use of a scientific calculator is expected and graphing calculators are fine. The TI-83/84 is recommended.Grading:Your final grade will be comprised of your 4 highest unit tests (55%), graded quizzes (20%), and your final exam (25%). Any extra credit will then be added in to the points total for the 4 highest test grades.The grading scale is as follows. 90 – 100 A80 – 89 B70 – 79 C60 – 69 DBelow 60FKeep track of all your points throughout the semester. Hold onto all papers that are graded.Disability:If you wish to receive accommodations as a student with a documented disability, please contact Aimee Stubbs, Learning Specialist, SS110, 791-2710. If you need assistance during an emergency evacuation, please contact Mrs. Stubbs immediately about arrangements for your safety. (Disabilities Resources 791-2710 or 791-2628).Personal Protection:Federal and State law requires a person designated as a "sexual predator or offender" to register with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). The FDLE then is required to notify the local law enforcement agency where the registrant resides, attends, or is employed by an institution of higher learning. Information regarding sexual predators or offenders attending or employed by an institution of higher learning may be obtained from the local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction for the particular campus, by calling the FDLE hotline (1-888-FL-PREDATOR) or (1-888-357-7332), or by visiting the FDLE website at fdle.state.fl.us/sexual_predators. If there are questions or concerns regarding personal safety, please contact the Provost, Associate Provost, Campus Security Officer or Site Administrator on your campus.COURSE OBJECTIVES1.
