COURSE DESCRIPTION: Core Mathematics is a sequence of 4, 2-credit courses designed to prepare students for college level mathematics and science courses. Each course in the sequence lasts for 7.5 weeks, allowing students to complete a maximum of two courses during fall, spring or summer semester. Students are placed into one or more courses, and proceed until they have completed the required sequence, which is determined by their major.

Students in Core Mathematics I, II, III, or IV who earn a final grade of C or better (73%) will progress to the next course. Students who earn C-, D, F, NF or SF will repeat the course. Freshman Forgiveness (Recalculation of first-year grade point average) will apply according to the provisions listed in the Undergraduate Catalog.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Regular attendance is necessary and expected. Class will begin and end promptly. Students may leave only when class is dismissed. Leaving early will result in a zero quiz score for the day.

WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS: (20 points) Written homework will be assigned daily. Homework will be collected weekly.

LAB ASSIGNMENTS: (60 points) There will be at least four MATHPASS labs for 10023 given on Fridays in our lab room 108 MSB. Attendance is required. One lab will be a home assignment. The other days will be lecture. To receive full credit you must get a 90% or higher. If you get 80%-89% your score will be deducted by one point. Otherwise you will not receive any credit below 80%. You may redo any MATHPASS assignments until the due date.
