College Algebra 2018-2019 Mr. SuydamRoom 224rsuydam@windsor.k12.mo.usThis class is designed to follow the requirements of the University of Missouri-St.Louis’s College Algebra class (MATH 1030). ?Topics in algebra and probability, polynomial functions, the binomial theorem, logarithms, exponentials, and solutions to systems of equations.AssignmentsParticipation(25% of pre-final grade) – Homework will done on-line through MathXL. The course ID for this class is XL06-W1X2-101Z-0TB3. Homework will be assigned once a section is complete and due the next class day. Answers are submitted into the website and graded on accuracy. Students will have the opportunity to keep re-trying a problem until they get it right and only the last attempt will count.Summative(75% of pre-final grade) – Each chapter will have a test at the end covering the entire chapter. Some chapters will have a midtest worth half the points. Retakes are not available for dual credit classes.Final (20% of the semester grade) – The final will be cumulative over the entire semester. Questions will model those found on the tests. The second semester final is under the purview of the University of Missouri-St.Louis.
