Course Format

This course is divided into three major sections - Functions, Logs and Exponentials, and Trigonometry. There will be six tests, all of which contain 12 questions. There will be a comprehensive final exam at the end of the course. All tests are given in rooms 324 or 308 in GSRC.

Practice Tests

 90% of your grade will be determined by computer tests and online homework. It is important that you become very familiar with the computer testing system as soon as possible. Practice tests are available to help you prepare for the tests. These contain practice problems from the homework in each section of the book. It is suggested that students read the pertinent section in the book and look at the formulas and examples there before working on the practice tests and homework. It should be noted that the tests for this semester will probably contain some problems from the homework as well as problems from the practice tests. There will also be questions on tests that are on neither the practice tests nor on the homework. Once the software program has been installed on your personal computer, you will not need to download it again. If you take a practice test in one of the EITS labs on campus, you will not need to download and an install the software, instead check on the desktop under Instructor Software.

Homework

There will be 12 online homework assignments. The due dates for these assignments can be seen on the schedule page. There are different dates for each testing group. Three of the homework assignment grades will be dropped. Unfortunately, if a homework assignment is not submitted by its deadline, there is no way to extend the deadline, and that assignment will count as one of the three grades that are dropped.

Communication with your instructor 

The key to success in this course is to work on the material everyday. If there is something about which you are unclear, check with your instructor. Your instructor will announce to you their office hours and their email address. E-mail is a quick and convenient way to get you questions and/or concerns addressed.
