| Math 1060-1 | |
| Location: | EMCB 101 |
| Time: | M,W 7:30 - 8:20 AM |
| Text: | Precalculus, 6th edition |
| Prerequisite: | Math 1050 is not a prerequisite, and the material in chapters 1-3 is not needed to succeed in this course; however, students should be familiar with the information in Appendix A at the end of the book. |
| Contents: | We will cover the material in chapters 4-6, and if time permits portions of chapter 10. |
| Homework: | As this is a very large class, it would be impossible to collect and grade everyone's assignments, so our class will have weekly assignments on WebWorks. The assignment will be posted by Wednesday afternoon and due the following Wednesday by 9PM. (The first assignment is an exception to this. It will be posted Monday January 10, and due Friday January 14.) In calculating the grade, one homework assignment will be dropped. The assigned homework is the minimum amount required for the course, and it is highly recommended that the student work as many problems from the book necessary to completely understand the material. |
| Grading: | Grades will be based on homework, three exams, and a comprehensive final exam. Your grade will be determined according to: Homework is 35%, Exams are 35%, Final Exam is 30%. |
| Final: | The final will be comprehensive and is scheduled for Wednesday, May 4 at 8-10AM in our regular classroom. |
| Tentative Course Schedule: | All dates are indicated on the Tentative Course Schedule and are subject to changes, especially those in the latter part of the semester. Test dates will be finalized and announced in class and on the web page one or two weeks prior to each test. It is your responsibility to keep yourself updated on the finalized test dates. Make-up exams will only be given in extenuating circumstances. |
| Mid-term Course Evaluation: | If you have any comments, suggestions, or criticisms regarding this course or my teaching you could speak to me directly, or you could fill out the anonymous Mid-term Course Evaluation Form. |
| Mathematics Tutoring Center: | The Mathematics Tutoring Center offers free, drop-in tutoring to students enrolled in Math 1060, among others. The tutoring center and adjoining computer lab will open Tuesday, January 18, and the hours are: 8:00 am - 8:00 pm Monday-Thursday, 8:00 am -6:00 pm Friday. The tutoring center is closed on weekends, University holidays, and for finals. |
| ADA Statement: | The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that reasonable accommodations be provided for students with physical, cognitive, systemic, learning, and psychiatric disabilities. Please contact me at the beginning of the semester to discuss any such accommodation you may require for this course. |
