Mathematics 1050 - College Algebra, Fall 2009


Basics:

Book: Larson and Hostetler, Precalculus 7th edition. There is also a solutions manual.

Exams: October 2nd, November 6th, December 4th.

Final exam: December 15, 3:30-5:30 p.m.

Quizzes: We will have either a quiz or an exam at the end of each week according to the schedule below. On other days, we will have ungraded practice quizzes.

Rules: Homework assigned daily but not turned in. On each quiz, you will report how much you completed from the previous week's homework assignments. Homework completion will account for half the points on each quiz. Calculators are not allowed on quizzes or exams. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped. No makeups on quizzes (no exceptions). Anyone with a calculator or cell phone out during a quiz or exam gets a zero on that quiz or exam. I may check ID when quizzes and exams are turned in.

Do not text message during class.

Grading:

Math Tutoring Center: In the basement between LCB and JWB. M-Th 8-8, F 8-6.
