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: By the end of this course, students should be able to: Factor polynomials and solve equations by factoring, perform operations on rational, exponential, and radical expressions, solve problems and applications involving rational, radical, and quadratic equations, determine distance, slope, and equations of lines, graph linear and quadratic equations.
If you fail the final exam (less than 60%), the maximum
course grade possible is a C.
