MAT 153 –
Euclidean Geometry Math 153 Fall,
2004 Tuesday & Thursday
4:00 – 5:50 PM Room: A208
4 units INSTRUCTOR: Charlie Lincoln PHONE NUMBER: 577-0414 E-MAIL: c.lincoln@sbcglobal.net OFFICE HOURS: To Be Announced REQUIRED TEXT: Geometry by Bass, Charles, Johnson, and Kennedy – Prentice Hall COURSE DESCRIPTION: This
is a formal course in geometry covering the basics of lines, planes, angles,
triangles, congruence, the Pythagorean Theorem, similarity, and special right
angles. STUDENT OUTCOMES: The successful student will: 1) Exhibit a proficiency in the topics covered in the course. 2) Engage in logical and critical thinking. 3) Read technical information. 4) Demonstrate the solution to problems by translating written language into mathematical statements, interpreting information, sketching relevant diagrams, analyzing given information, formulating appropriate math statements, and checking and verifying results. PREREQUISITE: MAT 152B or equivalent or appropriate skills demonstrated through the math assessment process. Prior completion of MAT 152B with a grade of "C" or better also satisfies this co-requisite. GRADING POLICY: Homework 100 points Exam #1: Sections 1.1-2.5 100 points Exam #2: Sections 3.1-4.7 100 points Exam #3: Sections 5.3-9.2 100 points Quizzes* (Three at 20 points each) 60 points Final (Covers entire course content) 150 points Your letter grade will be based on your percentage of the 610 possible points. A 90-100% B 80-89% C 70-79% D 60-69% F less than 60% Make-up Policy: For quizzes there is no make-up, however if the absence is excused, you will receive the same percentage grade on the quiz as you earn on the exam, which covers the same material. For Chapter Exams and the Final, make-up is possible, but there is a 10% penalty if the absence is not excused. Homework will be accepted late with a penalty of 2 points for each school day that it is late. LEARNING DISABILITIES: Students with disabilities who may need accommodations for this class are encouraged to notify the instructor and contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC) early in the quarter so that reasonable accommodations may be implemented as soon as possible. Students may contact the DRC by visiting the Center (located in room A205) or by phoning 541-4660, ext. 249 (voice) or 542-1870 (TTY for deaf students). All information will remain confidential.

In this class, it is your responsibility to drop the class in order to avoid a grade. TUTORING: Tutoring is available in the Gateway Math Center in Room G4 in the portable buildings near the LAC and photography lab. Tutoring schedules will be distributed to you in class. HOW TO SUCCEED IN A MATH CLASS: 1) Come to every class meeting. 2) Arrive early, get yourself settled and be ready when class starts. Sit where you won't be distracted. . 3) Read each section before it is discussed in class. 4) Do all of the homework. 5) Do some math every day. 6) Start preparing for tests at least a week in advance. 7) Take advantage of tutors and office hours, extra help can make a big difference. 8) Do some review every time you study math. 9) Be willing to ask questions. 10) Take notes. 11) Study in groups and find a study buddy.
