Elayn Martin-Gay, Algebra A Combined Approach 3rd edition. Prentice Hall Publishing Company 2006. Instructor: Brent A. Smith Office location/hours: M-F 7:30-8:00 H-29 and by appointment Phone: 301-784-5363 E Mail:  HYPERLINK "mailto:bsmith@allegany.edu" bsmith@allegany.edu Note: When sending an e-mail to the instructor use the phrase Math 93 in the subject line. Web Pages http://www.allegany.edu then click on  EMBED MSPhotoEd.3  (to log onto blackboard) Your user name is first initial, middle initial, last name, and your password is your social security number. If your class does not use Blackboard, you can still use Blackboard by using the username mshore_stu and the password student. On the blackboard site and CD, there are over 20 hours of video, with practice tests for each section. Day & Time of Class : TR 9:30-10:45 H 4 section 1387, and WEB class *Please note: Under extenuating circumstances, the instructor has the right to change any course provision or requirements during the semester. I. PURPOSE A. Description: The emphasis of this course is on the understanding and application of the following topics: rational expressions and equations, graphs of functions, systems of linear equations with two unknowns, rational exponents, radicals, radical and quadratic equations and graphs of quadratic functions. Required for all students whose placement test score indicates the need. Not designed as a first course in Algebra. Calculators and/or computers as computational aids will be used in this course. Open to all students who have passed Math 90 with a grade of C or better, or a grade of D in Math 96. This course does not meet AA graduation requirements. 3 semester hours. B. Course Objectives: 1. To encourage the student to think in a logical fashion and gain mathematical maturity by developing a work ethic. 2. To learn how to solve algebraic problems. 3. To supplement or enrich a student's background by developing in greater detail the concepts and applications of Intermediate Algebra. 4. To examine the concepts and applications of graphing and modeling. 5. To enable the student to solve various types of statement problems using the techniques of algebra. 6. To provide the student with the mathematical background needed for College Algebra (Math 102), Statistics (Math 221), and other college math courses. II. COURSE POLICIES A. 1. Attendance: Attendance is required. The instructor may withdraw students that have more than two unexcused absences from class, or more than one unexcused absence before the end of the third week Therefore, no students will be allowed to register for the course after the second day of class. No notification will be given to the student when he or she has reached the limited amount of absences. If a student misses a class due to a college sanctioned activity, death in the family, or illness, that absence will not count if the instructor is notified in advance and given proper written verification. Students that miss a class due to a last minute emergency or illness may contact the instructor in advance by phone at 301-784-5363 and leave a voice mail message. Without advance notification the absence will be an unexcused absence. 2. Behavior problems: a. Language: Offensive or inappropriate language will not be tolerated in this classroom. b. Cell Phones: Cell phones must be turned off during class. c. Tardiness: If you are late for class, you will be marked absent. Classroom rules are designed to enhance a better learning environment for ALL students. B. Participation: Class Participation has been shown to help a students understanding of mathematics, although no points are awarded for class participation. C. Grading: Assessment Standards for School Mathematics: This course reflects a shift in the importance that the world outside the schools increasingly places on thinking and problem solving. Students engage in solving realistic problems using information and the technological tools available in real life. Moreover, conceptual understanding and, procedural skills are assessed as part of the doing of real life mathematics. 1. Tests- 5 tests 340 points 2. Quizzes 60 points 3. College Level Math section of Placement test 40 points 4. Homework/ Re-Taking the placement test 050 points Total number of points possible 440 490 points *See page 4 of syllabus for point value of each test. Grading Scale: 90 to 100% = A 80 to 89% = B 70 to 79% = C 60 to 69% = D 0 to 59% = F Note: The grade of X will be given to students that do not pass, but have done all homework and attended all classes. Note: If student passes placement test at the end of the semester, student will receive at least a grade of "C" in the course. Note: All students are required to take the placement test at the end of the semester. Your score on the CLM section of the test will be part of your grade. Note: If you receive a "D" in the course, you still must repeat the course. You need a "C" or better to go on to Math 102 or Math 119. D. Extra Credit: Any extra credit problems are given to the entire class. There are no extra credit problems for any one individual during any part of the semester. E. Tutoring, extra help sessions, or special needs: Tutoring help sessions are available for any student from the instructor, the IAC tutoring center. If you have a disability which impairs your access to this course or your ability to pursue the coursework as it is presented, please go to the Instructional Assistance Center. F. Form of Assignment: See attached homework sheet. G. Assignment Deadlines: Homework will be given at the end of almost every class. These assignments will occasionally be collected. Whenever homework problems are collected after one class period, the problems will be checked to see that you tried many of the problems. When two class periods are given before homework is collected, some problems will be checked to see if the problems are done correctly. When two class periods are given for the homework, then points will be awarded as follows: 5 out of 5 if the problem is done correct, 3 out of 5 if the problem is tried but not correct, and 0 out of 5 if the problem is not attempted. Use your notes to help you with your homework. Students that get good grades tend to find a study partner or group to work with. Most students that fail the class do so because of lack of doing the homework. Get assistance as soon as possible from another student, the teacher, the instructional assistance center, or from a friend. Only from trying the homework (really trying) can you find out where the problem is for you. Remember, this class covers 1 year of high school Algebra I in just 45 hours of class time. All homework assignments should be completed with all work necessary to complete the problem. Homework assignments are collected at the start of class and will not be accepted late. The purpose of the homework is to make you do better on the tests. If you are trying for a grade of "C" you will probably end up with an "F". Shoot for the "A". Tests and Quizzes are to be taken on the day specified by the instructor. If there is a take-home assignment or test, it is to be collected on the day specified by the instructor. Deviations from this arrangement are to be cleared in advance with sufficient reason provided. Students who miss a test due to a last minute emergency or illness may contact the instructor in advance by telephone. I have an answering machine in my office, so you can leave a message at anytime. H. Plagiarism/Cheating: The college has established a policy regarding cheating. I expect that everyone will read and conform to the spirit and intent of this policy. I. Exam Make-up: Make-ups for tests will only be given for those students who give their instructor advance notification of missing a test. These students will take make-up tests before the following class period. If the student is still unable to take the test at that time, the test will be given during the last week of class. If a test or quiz is missed without advance notification, a grade of ZERO will be recorded for that test or quiz. III. COURSE REQUIREMENTS A.
