Elayn Martin-Gay, Algebra a Combined Approach 3rd edition. Prentice Hall Publishing Company 2006. Instructor: Mr. Brent Smith Phone: 301-784-5363 E Mail: bsmith@allegany.edu Note: When sending an e-mail to the instructor use the phrase Math 96 in the subject line. Day & Time of Class : Section 1394 M-F 11:00 12:15 CE19 Office location/hours: M-F 7:30-8:00 H 29 and by appointment Web Pages http://www.allegany.edu then click on  EMBED MSPhotoEd.3  (to log onto blackboard) Your username 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 on the CD that comes with your book, there are over 13 hours of video, with practice tests for each section. *Please note: Under extenuating circumstances, the instructor has the right to change any course provision or requirements during the semester. I. PURPOSE A. Description: This course is designed for those students who wish to complete the 90-93 sequence of courses during a single semester. It will meet every day of the week and will cover all topics listed in Mathematics 90 Beginning Algebra and Mathematics 93 Intermediate Algebra. Calculators or computers as computational aids will be used in this course. Recommended for students who have not had algebra or whose placement exam score indicates the need. This course does not meet AA graduation requirements. 6 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 introductory algebra. 4. To examine the concepts and applications of graphing. 5. To enable the student to solve various types of statement problems using the techniques of algebra. To provide the student with the mathematical background needed for further study in Mathematics. To help the students be successful in life. 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, either in person or by phone, 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. If any of the actions above occur, the student will not be allowed to enter the classroom again until a 500 word essay is typed describing problems caused by this kind of behavior and how you plan to correct this behavior. The paper must be handed to the instructor before the next class. The student will not be allowed back into class until the essay is given to the instructor. Each class that the student misses from not completing the paper, will be counted as an unexcused absence. Once the student is over the limit for the number of unexcused absences (as listed in the first paragraph of this page) the student will be dropped from the course. Remember that the instructor is in charge of the classroom and other classroom rules that your instructor has will be emphasized. 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. 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 EA and 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 SSC tutoring center H-58, or from the tutoring center in the science building S-64. 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. 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 videos on the Blackboard site and CD, the Student Support Center H-58, or from a friend. All homework assignments should be completed with all work necessary to complete the problem. Tests and Quizzes are on Blackboard. You will need to go to the testing lab to take all tests and quizzes in this course or you may take them in class. A professional staff person at the Student Support Center will enter the password for the test or quiz. 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: There are no make-ups for tests once they are off Blackboard. There are no make-ups for quizzes.
