The course uses methods of conventional algebra and the graphical calculator to pursue these goals. Details on the actual material to be covered are outlined in the class schedule, which is attached. Also, any group learning projects are essentially impossible to duplicate away from class.
Students are responsible for all material covered in the course, regardless of their attendance.
These quizzes will be based on the homework problems. The student can hand in his homework with the quiz, which then will be graded and averaged with the quiz if advantageous to the student s quiz grade. If the student is absent, a zero will be given, but a student can drop 2 quiz grades. Homework will be assigned as a self test for the student. Accordingly, many of the assigned problems will be those for which the answers are given in the back of the text.
