Description: This course provides a
survey of a variety of branches of mathematics including inductive and deductive
reasoning, business and finance math, finding perimeter and area, The
Pythagorean theorem, an introduction to right triangle trigonometry, exponential
growth and decay, logarithms, probability and statistics.
An emphasis will be placed on overcoming the fear of mathematics and
seeing the use of mathematics in the "real world". Prerequisite:
A grade "C" or better in Math 154, or equivalent, or
appropriate skills demonstrated through the Math assessment process. As
a Courtesy to everyone in class, please turn off your cell phones. Thank you. Grading: Your
class letter grade will be based on the usual grading scale: A:
90% and above, B:
80-89%, C:
70-79%,
D: 60-69%, F: 59%

Total
760 points I have given practice problems
after every section. I
do not collect practice problems. These exercises are for you to improve your understanding of the material
and to prepare you for quizzes and exams. Do these problems after each of their lectures.
Homework:
The Even-numbered problems are due
every Wednesday, except HW 11*. They
are to be turned in by 5 PM on the day they are due.
The assignment is considered late if it is not turned in at this time. If
you will be absent, either turn in the homework assignment early or have someone
turn in the homework assignment for you. Homework that is late, but turned in within one week of the
due date receives half credit.
Homework turned in after this receives no
credit. Quizzes:
There are no make-up quizzes.
I give 4 quizzes, but only 3 are counted so you may drop your lowest
quiz. Midterm
Exams:
You must notify me before an exam if you will miss the exam (541-4660 EXT 368).
Exams must be made up within 3 school days after the scheduled
date, with a penalty of 10% You may take an exam up to 3 school days before
the scheduled date without penalty. Arrangements
must be made with me in advance. **If you have turned in EVERY homework assignment
with no more than two (2) late, you may drop your lowest MIDTERM exam score.
The
Comprehensive Final Exam is on Monday, June 21, from 2 – 3:50 PM Calculators:
You will need a scientific calculator for this course.
I will advise you which scientific calculator will be sufficient for this
class. A graphing
calculator is not allowed for testing. Students
with disabilities must identify themselves to me within the first two weeks of
class. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities:
Students requiring accommodations for a certain disability that may affect
class performance are requested to schedule with a staff member at the DRC to
discuss this during the first week of the quarter so that appropriate
arrangements can be made. Course
materials available in alternate format.
Student Outcomes The Gateway Math Center has
free tutoring for all registered students.
Please Log In and Out so that the facility gets the funds it needs. In
this class, it is your responsibility to drop the class in order to avoid an
unwanted grade. You
must go to Admissions & Records. Friday, April 16, 2004
is the last day for refunds. Friday, April 30, 2004
is the last day to drop with no record. Friday, June 4, 2004
is the last day to withdraw with a
“W” grade. Practice problems that say Odd
means do the Odd numbered Problems. EOO
means do Every Other Odd Problem.
