Textbook: Modeling Functions and Graphs, 4th Edition, by Yoshiwara Handouts: Uploaded on website
Calculator: Graphing calculator (TI83 or TI83+, TI84 or TI84+ recommended). The instructor will be using a TI84+ for classroom demonstrations. Calculators that do symbolic manipulations like TI98, TI92, TINspireCAS, and Voyage 200, etc. will not be allowed. Other:
Ruler and graph paper for homework problems and tests.
Course Description: This course will completely integrate graphing technology towards topics presented along with the concepts and interpretation. Topics include linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, polynomial and rational functions including their graphs. Systems of equations, variation, linear regression and inverse functions will also be covered. The topics presented will be solved using symbolic, graphical and numerical approaches. Applications emphasizing connections with other disciplines and the real world will be included. A minimum grade of “C” is required to use this to satisfy the general education requirements.
Core Competencies There are 4 core competencies that are integrated throughout the curriculum, these competencies are essential for students to achieve life long success. THINK: The ability to think critically, in relation to problem solving, is high among employer expectations. COMMUNICATE: The ability to communicate in written and verbal form is essential in the workforce. ACT: To act we apply disciplinary knowledge, skills and values to educational and career goals. We want to implement effective problem solving, decision making and goal setting strategies. VALUE: We want to employ values and standards of judgment from different disciplines and see how they positively affect each other.
Attendance To be successful in any math course you must attend class regularly and complete all assignments on time. If you are unable to attend class for any reason it is YOUR responsibility to find out what you have missed. Each 2 tardies will be counted as 1 absence. A tardy is considered arriving 5 minutes after start of the class. If your absences or tardies are excessive you will be notified through email and you may be withdrawn from the course.
Tardiness Being late to class or leaving early is a disruption to the class and is discourteous to the instructor and the other students. All students are expected to be on time to class and to stay for the entire period. If you need to leave early notify me before the start of class and bring documentation in with the date to the next class meeting. Leaving early without prior notification to me will be considered an absence.
Cell Phones 1
Cell phones are to be off or on silent mode while in class and during test time. Please be polite and also do not be using or handling your phone during class.
Disorderly Conduct Disorderly conduct will not be tolerated. This includes but is not limited to leaving class early, cell phone use during class, excessive talking and or disruption. You may be notified once; if behavior persists then you will be withdrawn. Make every attempt to use the restroom before coming to class. Leaving during class is a disruption to me and your classmates. Leaving class early without notifying me will result in 5 points being deducted from a test score. Being late for class more than 3 times will also result in a 5 point deduction from a test.
Academic Honesty All students are expected to be in complete compliance with the policies on academic honesty. In no instance will cheating of any type be tolerated in this course. Students who plagiarize or cheat in any way will risk dismissal from class and/or expulsion from the school. The instructor reserves the right to determine the appropriate penalties within the aforementioned policies.
Academic Support In addition to the instructor’s guidance and assistance, there is the following academic support: 1. 2.
Tutors can be assigned to students through the Tutoring Center. Math CDs, video tapes and tutorial software are available at the Academic Office.
Students with Disabilities Students with disabilities who qualify for academic accommodations must provide a letter from the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) and discuss specific needs with the instructor, preferably during the first week of class. The Office for Students with Disabilities determines accommodations based on appropriate documentation of disabilities. The goal at the OSD is to open doors, remove barriers and assist you in any way they can. The key to success is matching your needs to the services provided. Please discuss your individual needs with me.
Tests You will have 5 tests throughout the semester. There are no makeup tests under any circumstances . If needed, a test can be taken prior to the scheduled day. If a test is missed then it will be replaced by the final exam. When a test is taken it will count towards your grade. You cannot take a test and then decide to have the final replace it. If 2 tests are missed then a “zero” will counted as one test score. Calculator use or phone use during the non-calculator part of test taking will be considered cheating. This will result in a zero on the test, the final exam will not replace this test. The first part of every test will always be non-calculator.
Final Exam The final exam will be comprehensive. If you do not withdraw and do not take the final, then an F will be assigned regardless of your average in the class. Grading Policy:
A: B: C: D: F:
90% - 100%, 80% - 89% 70% - 79% 60% - 69% below 60%
