University-wide Withdrawal Date:The last day to withdraw with a w is Monday, April 8, 2019. It will be strictly enforced.

Course Goals

Course Objectives: Students should (a) improve their algebra skills engineering (b) learn about lines and slope, (c) understand many practical applications of systems of equations, (d) Students should gain an appreciation for the importance of trigonometry in scientific, engineering, and other applications., (e) learn about logarithmic and exponential functions and understand their real world applications.

Course Outcomes

Students have improved logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Students have a greater understanding of the importance of algebra, trigonometry and logarithims and some real world applications.
Students are prepared for their first course in Calculus.

Course Assessment: The assessment of objectives is achieved through homework, quizzes, and common examinations with common grading.

Policies

DMS Course Policies: All DMS students must familiarize themselves with, and adhere to, the Department of Mathematical Sciences Course Policies, in addition to official university-wide policies. DMS takes these policies very seriously and enforces them strictly.

Grading Policy: The final grade in this course will be determined as follows:

Homework	15%
Quizzes	20%
Common Midterm Exam I	15%
Common Midterm Exam II	15%
Final Exam	35%

Your final letter grade will be based on the following tentative curve.

A	90 - 100	C	65 - 74
B+	85 - 89	D	55 - 64
B	80 - 84	F	0 - 54
C+	75 - 79

Attendance Policy: Attendance at all classes will be recorded and is mandatory. Please make sure you read and fully understand the Math Department’s Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced. Students are expected to attend class. Each class is a learning experience that cannot be replicated through simply “getting the notes.” Attendance at all classes (both lecture and recitation) will be recorded and is mandatory.

Homework Policy: Homework is an expectation of the course. All homework for the semester is on the syllabus, by section, below. It is essential to hand in homework on time. Late homework will be assessed at a 50% penalty.

Online Homework: Online Homework assignments are to be completed using the homework portal called WebAssign. The online assignments can be completed at www.webassign.net. You must purchase webassign online to get the initial access code to get into the class. In addition, on the first day of class your course instructor will give an additional code “Class key” needed to enroll to WebAssign. WebAssign gives you free access for two weeks after the start of class so there should be no delay in creating and registering your account.

Quiz Policy: As per each instructor, quizzes will be given throughout the semester. They will be based on the lecture, homework and the in-class discussions. There will be 6-10 assessments given throughout the semester.

Exams: There will be two common midterm exams held during the semester and one comprehensive common final exam. Each exam will test the material taught since the beginning of the semester. Exams are held on the following days:

Common Midterm Exam I	February 27, 2019
Common Midterm Exam II	April 17, 2019
Final Exam Period	May 10 - 16, 2019

The time of the midterm exams is 4:15-5:40 pm for daytime students and 5:45-7:10 pm for evening students. The final exam will test your knowledge of all the course material taught in the entire course. Make sure you read and fully understand the Math Department's Examination Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.

Makeup Exam Policy: To properly report your absence from a midterm or final exam, please review and follow the required steps under the DMS Examination Policy found here:
