Algebra for College Students, Ninth Edition, Lial, Hornsby, McGinnis A digital textbook and access to the MyMathLabs are available through the class’s Blackboard page. Access is included in your tuition. No additional purchases needed.

Course Description A basic course in algebra that emphasizes applications and problem-solving skills.

Topics include finding solutions, graphing of linear equations and inequalities, graphs and functions, combining polynomials and polynomial functions, factoring polynomials, simplifying and combining rational expressions and equations, simplifying roots and radicals, solving radical equations, and an introduction to quadratic functions and equations. This course fulfills the math general education requirement and can be used as a preparation for Math 162M. Honor Code

By enrolling in this course you agree to adhere to the honor code on all written work: "I pledge to support the Honor System of Old Dominion University. I will refrain from any form of academic dishonesty or deception, such as cheating or plagiarism. I am aware that as a member of the academic community, it is my responsibility to turn in all suspected violators of the Honor Code."

Grading

Your grade will be determined as follows: There will be online homework in MyMathLab, 4 quizzes (count best 3), 2 in-class tests, and a final exam. SI session MyMathLab: 3 BEST quizzes: 2 In-Class Tests: Final Exam: Total

Grading Scale: 90+ 80-89 70-79 60-69 59 and below

5% 15% 10% 40% 30% 100%

Tests

All tests are given in class. If your grade on the final exam is higher than your lowest test grade, the final exam grade will replace it. If your final exam grade is the lowest grade, then it will only count as the final exam. If you miss one test, this will be considered your lowest test grade. There will be no makeup tests.

Quizzes

There will be 4 quizzes, two in-zoom and two on MyMathLab. Your lowest quiz grade will be dropped once all four quiz grades have been recorded. If you miss one quiz, this will be considered your lowest quiz grade. There will be no makeup quizzes. For the MyMathLab quizzes, you will be allowed two attempts with your better grade being counted. There will be a time limit for each quiz depending upon the amount and types of problems.

Test/Quiz Submission: Make sure that anything you submit online should be in pdf format and in one file. I am not going to grade anything submitted not in pdf file or separate files. Combine everything into one pdf. Download adobe scanner app.

Your SI leader will give you a grade every meeting from 0 to 5: 0 for being absent or not participating and 5 for active participation. Your total points will be converted to a percent as your final grade for SI.

MyMathLab Online Assignments Access to MyMathLab is available on Blackboard. ( Select MyLab Math Links from the menu on the lefthand side. Click on the folder entitled MyLab Math All Assignments. ) All topics covered in class have corresponding homework problems in MyMathLab. Due dates are posted in MyMathLab. The assigned problems are designed to make sure you understand the material taught in class. If you have any questions about homework or need extra help, please do not hesitate to see me during my office hours.

Note: You are allowed an unlimited amount of times to answer each homework problem correctly. If you answer a question incorrectly, MyMathLab will prompt you to use Skill Builder. Skill Builder is designed to walk you through the problem so that you learn the concept. Once you complete the work in Skill Builder and understand the concept, you may go back to the homework and try to answer the problem again. If you miss a problem three times, the problem will be counted as incorrect and you will be given an opportunity to try a similar problem. You should try to achieve 100% on each homework assignment.

Disability Services All reasonable accommodations will be made for any student with disabilities. Only those students who have been documented at the Office of Educational Accessibility (683-4655) will be eligible for these accommodations. MSRC
