       HOMEWORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IF TURNED IN LATE.

 

  LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW WITHOUT PENALTY IS Friday March 18, 2005.

 

  Math Lab Information:  Location: LF101; 941-2670;  Weekly schedule is posted in the hall.  

                                             Web address:     www.ius.edu/mathlab/

                                             Videos available for checkout from lab.  Computer Software available in lab.

 

  You may use a calculator for most tests and quizzes.  A TI-86 calculator is required.

 

Classroom Etiquette:  Please be respectful and courteous to your classmates and instructor.  Pleases do not arrive

   late, leave early or leave for a period of  time other than for an emergency.  No cell phones or pagers are to be on.

 

 

 

   Make Up Policy – There will be NO make-ups for quizzes or homework.  Make ups for chapter tests will be

                                     given if there is a  legitimate excuse with documentation.

                                    Given in Math Lab LF101 (you must have a picture ID in order to take a make up).

 

  Disability Adaptation Statement:  Students who have a disability that requires accommodations in the classroom should contact the Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities, early in the semester so that their learning needs may be appropriately met.  The Student will need to provide documentation of the disability and if testing is needed, recommendations can be provided from the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities in the Library Building Room 022, 941-2579. Additional information about the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities may be obtained at: <http://www.ius.edu/SSDis/homepage.htm

GRADE CALCULATION:  Here is how your grade will be calculated:          Here is how your grade will be awarded:

 

                                    Homework/Class Work                        10%                             90 – 100%                   A

                                    Quizzes                                                15%                             80 –   89%                   B

                                    4 Chapter Tests                                    50%                             70 -   79%                   C

                                    Final Test                                             25%                             60 -   69%                   D        

                                                                                                                              Less than 60%                    F

 

ONCOURSE: My goal is for all test grades to be posted within one day after the test.  At that time all homework and quiz averages will be updated

 

GOALS:   To become proficient with the T-I86 graphing calculator using it to perform basic computations as well as graphing various equations. To learn how to model, graph, transform and solve various functions - linear, quadratic, absolute value, rational, inverse, exponential, and logarithmic.  To explore complex numbers and begin to discover basic calculus principles relating to maximizing and minimizing quadratics.

    

             If you fail the final exam (less than 60%), the maximum course grade possible is a “C”.

 

                             HOMEWORK EXERCISES    (e.o.o.) = every other odd

                                                                                  1-13 means do all odds between 1 and 13
