Course Description:  This course is a non-credit mathematics course designed to better prepare you for your future credit math class, Elementary Math and Statistics or Precalculus.  While this course does not count toward your required credits for the AA degree, your course grade does appear on your transcript. We will be discussing sets, linear and quadratic equations, graphing, polynomials, radicals and systems of equations among other topics.

Test Topics:

Test 1   This test deals with the order of operations, exponents, scientific notation, properties of real numbers, and working with linear equations.
              It will also include word problems and the algebra of functions.

Test 2  This test will cover working with various forms of linear equations, graphing linear equations and working with linear inequalities.  It will
             also cover solving systems of linear equations by Graphing, by Substitution and by Elimination.

Test 3   This test will cover adding, subtracting, multiplying and how to factor polynomials. It will also cover how to how to add, subtract, multiply and
              divide rational functions.

Test 4  This test will cover complex rational expressions, division of polynomials, using rational equations, and some applications.  It also
             covers radicals, quadratic equations, and quadratic graphs.

Grading Policy:

TEST #1            100%                        There will be 4 tests and a final
          #2            100%                         exam. The final will count twice.
          #3            100%                         One of these 6 grades will be
          #4            100%                          dropped so your final grade is
FINAL (Counts 100%                         based on 500 points.
              Twice) 100%

                                  A     93% and Above         C    73-76
                                  A-    90-92                          C-   70-72
                                  B+   87-89                          D+  67-69
                                  B     83-86                          D     63-66
                                  B-    80-82                          D-   60-62
                                  C+   77-79                          F     Below 60%
 

*If you have an "A" average after the first 4 exams (nothing dropped) then you are exempt from the final exam provided you come to class and complete all work through section 11.1.

Class Guidelines:

1. You are responsible for all class material if you miss a class.

2. If you miss a test you must have a documented medical excuse, or a reason I feel is appropriate, in order to take a makeup.  Please contact me at
    the office or at home within 24 hours if this happens to let me know what is wrong.

3. Homework will be reviewed during class and the Friday lab.

4. Lab attendance is required until the first test.  If you maintain a "C" average lab will become optional. If at any time your average falls below a
    "C", you will be expected to come to the lab.

5. If for some reason you cannot make a Friday lab, see me before that lab to set up an appointment to look over your homework.

6. Although the tests are worth 100 points, there will be some pop    quizzes given at various times that will give you an opportunity for extra credit.
    These quizzes are similar to homework and there will be no makeup quizzes given.

7.  Only non-graphing calculators will be permitted. If you need to borrow one for a test a few will be available.

8.  Most of your tests require graphing. You are to bring your own graph paper for these tests.
 

 Academic Honesty Policy:  Cheating is not tolerated.  All UD students are required to be familiar with and abide by the Student Code of conduct as promulgated in The Official Student Handbook http://www.udel.edu/stuguide/13-14/code.html#honesty.  This policy will apply to every exam, quiz, homework, and any other assignment given in this course.  Violations of any kind can result in a failing grade for the course.
