COURSE DESCRIPTION

MATD 0390 Intermediate Algebra. A course designed to develop the skills and understanding contained in the second year of secondary school algebra. Topics include review of properties of real numbers, functions, algebra of functions, inequalities, polynomials and factoring, rational expressions and equations, radical expressions and equations, quadratic functions and their graphs, solving quadratic equations, and exponential functions.

INSTRUCTIONAL METHODOLOGY

This course is taught in a classroom as a lecture/discussion course

Prerequisite: C or better in Elementary Algebra, MATD 0370, its equivalent knowledge, or a passing score on the MATD 0390 placement test. Additional information about ACC's mathematics curriculum and faculty is available on the Internet at .

Pretest: To be sure that you are placed correctly, you will take a pretest first day of class.

Course Rationale: This course is designed to prepare students for various college-level science and mathematics courses. After succeeding in this course, students may enroll a number of courses in science, mathematics, and various technical areas. These include General College Physics, General Chemistry, Magnetism and DC Circuits, AC Circuits, Manufacturing Materials and Processes, and Math for Business and Economics, and College Algebra.

Attendance: Attendance is required in this course. Students who miss more than two classes may be withdrawn. You are responsible for the material covered and any assignment that is due for classes you miss. You are expected to arrive promptly. (To be late twice is equal to one absent and if you leave the class early it is going to count tardy). The TSI law requires regular attendance.

TSI Warning for students who are not TSI complete**

Students who are not TSI complete in math are not allowed to enroll in any course with a math skill requirement. All students are required to be "continually in attendance" in order to remain enrolled in this course. If this is the only developmental class you are enrolled in, and you withdraw yourself from this course or are withdrawn by your instructor, then:

a) You may be withdrawn from courses that you should not be enrolled in, such as any class with a math skill requirement.

b) You will have a hold placed on your registration for the following semester. The Hold will require that you register for the next semester in person with an advisor or counselor and that you work with the Developmental Math Advisor during that semester.

c) You will continue to face more serious consequences, up to being restricted to only registering for developmental courses, until you complete the required developmental math course or satisfy the TSI requirement in another way.

More information can be found at .

** If you are unsure whether or not this warning applies to you, see an ACC advisor immediately.

Withdrawal Policy: It is the your responsibility to initiate all withdrawals in this course. You may withdraw yourself from the course at any time. If you stop attending you are responsible for withdrawing yourself. I may withdraw you or if it past the withdrawal date, you will receive an “F”. The withdrawal deadline is November18 2010.

Importance of Completing Developmental Course Requirements

The first steps to achieving any college academic goal are completing developmental course requirements and TSI requirements. The first priority for students who are required to take developmental courses must be the developmental courses. TSI rules state that students are allowed to take college credit courses, if they are fulfilling their developmental requirements. Because successful completion of dev courses is so important, ACC will intervene with any student who is not successfully completing developmental requirements. This intervention can mean a hold on records, requiring developmental lab classes, working with the Dev Math Advisor, and monitoring during the semester.

Reinstatement Policy: Students who withdrew or were withdrawn generally will not be reinstated unless they have completed all course work, projects, and tests necessary to place them at the same level of course completion as the rest of the class.

Incomplete grades (I) are given only in very rare circumstances. Generally, to qualify for an "I", a student must have taken all exams and assignments, have a passing grade, and have a personal situation occur that prevents course completion after the last day to withdraw.

In Progress grades (IP) are also rarely given. In order to earn an "IP" grade the student must remain in the course, be making progress in the material, not have excessive absences, and not be meeting the standards set to earn the grade of C or better in the course. Students who are given an IP grade must register and pay tuition for the same course again to receive credit. Students who make a grade of IP should not go on to the next course.

TESTS:

THERE WILL BE FOUR MAJOR TESTS AND A DEPARTMENTAL FINAL EXAM IN THIS CLASS. THE 4 TESTS WILL BE ADMINISTERED IN PIN TESTING CENTER THE FINAL EXAM WILL BE ADMINISTERED IN THE CLASSROOM. THE GRADE ON YOUR FINAL MAY SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR LOWEST GRADE (MISSING TEST). STUDENTS WITH PERFECT ATTENDANCE WILL RECEIVE TWO EXTRA POINTS ADDED TO THEIR EXAM ON THAT SECTION.

TESTING CENTER GUIDELINES ARE AVAILABLE ON LINE AT: WWW2.AUSTINCC.EDU/TESTCTR/.

WEEKLY QUIZZES: THERE WILL BE 7 QUIZZES (TWO LOWEST GRADES WILL BE DROPPED). QUESTIONS ON SOME OF YOUR IN CLASS QUIZZES WILL BE PICKED OUT OF HOMEWORK PROBLEMS.

HOMEWORK: YOU HAVE RECEIVED A LIST OF HOMEWORK PROBLEMS (ONE OF YOUR FIRST-DAY HANDOUTS). HOMEWORK SHOULD BE CAREFULLY COMPLETED WITH REASONABLE WORK SHOWN TO SUPPORT EACH ANSWER. AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE HOMEWORK IS THE ORGANIZATION AND FORMAT OF YOUR SOLUTIONS. ALL WORK SHOULD BE DONE IN PENCIL, CLEAR AND LEGIBLE IN A STEP-BY-STEP MANNER. HOMEWORK IS DUE BEFORE EACH TEST (THERE ARE FIVE HOMEWORK). COMPLETED HOMEWORK IS WORTH 100, MISSING PROBLEMS COUNT OFF. IT IS YOUR

responsibility to ask for help on problems not understood. Homework with only answers and no work to support them will receive a maximum of 25. (Questions on your in-class quizzes will be picked out of homework problems. You may use your notebook.)

Late work Policy: No late work is accepted.

Class Participation Expectations: After each lecture there will be group work that some of them will be graded as a quiz.

Prerequisites for Calculus

There are two calculus sequences at ACC (and at most colleges) -- Business Calculus and Calculus. The prerequisite sequence is different for these. Depending on background, students may start the prerequisite sequence at different places

|Intermediate Algebra (MATD 0390) |Intermediate Algebra (MATD 0390) |

|ι | |ι |ι |

|College Algebra**(MATH 1314) | |Math for Bus & Eco |College Algebra |

|ι | |(MATH 1324) |(MATH 1314) |

|*Trigonometry (MATH 1316) | |ι ι |

|ι |Business Calculus I (MATH 1425) |

|Precalculus (MATH 2412) |ι |

|ι |Business Calculus II (MATH 1426) |

|Calculus I (MATH 2413) | |

|ι | |

|Calculus II (MATH 2414) | |

|ι | |

|Calculus III (MATH 2415) | |

Where to start: The only way that students may skip courses in a sequence is to begin higher in the sequence, based on current knowledge of material from high school courses.

1. A student who needs a review of high school Algebra II will start in Intermediate Algebra (or below.)

2. A student who completed high school Algebra II, but no higher, and whose assessment test score indicates that he/she remembers that algebra, will start in College Algebra or Math for Business & Economics. A substantially higher assessment test score enables the student to start in Trigonometry.

3. A student who completed some precalculus, elementary analysis, or trigonometry in high school, and whose assessment test score indicates that he/she remembers algebra, is eligible to start higher in the sequence than College Algebra. Check the catalog or the math web page.***

* The material in the Trigonometry course requires that students are quite adept with the skills from high school Algebra II (Intermediate Algebra). Some students will achieve that level of skill in the College Algebra course if their placement score is high enough, while others need an additional semester of work on algebra that is done in two courses, Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra.

** Some students who are very successful in College Algebra are tempted to skip either Trigonometry or Precalculus and enroll in Calculus I. That is not acceptable. Trigonometry topics are essential to success in Calculus, and while it is true that the topic list for Precalculus has only a few additions from the topic list for College Algebra, the level of sophistication of the presentation and the problems on all topics is greater in Precalculus. That increased sophistication is necessary for an adequate background for the Calculus sequence. ***

Notes about the Business sequence: Texas State University requires Math for Business and Economics and Business Calculus I. Students who will attend the UT College of Business must complete the entire Business Calculus sequence before transferring. For more information, including requirements for UT economics students, see

*** For additional information, including prerequisite review sheets for most courses, see

Statement on Students with Disabilities

Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented physical or psychological disabilities. Students with disabilities must request reasonable accommodations through the Office of Students with Disabilities on the campus where they expect to take the majority of their classes. Students are encouraged to do this three weeks before the start of the semester.

Statement on Scholastic Dishonesty

Acts prohibited by the college for which discipline may be administered include scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, cheating on an exam or quiz, plagiarizing, and unauthorized collaboration with another in preparing outside work. Academic work submitted by students shall be the result of their thought, work, research or self-expression. Academic work is defined as, but not limited to, tests, quizzes, whether taken electronically or on paper; projects, either individual or group; classroom presentations; and homework.

 

Statement on Scholastic Dishonesty Penalty

Students who violate the rules concerning scholastic dishonesty will be assessed an academic penalty that the instructor determines is in keeping with the seriousness of the offense. This academic penalty may range from a grade penalty on the particular assignment to an overall grade penalty in the course, including possibly an F in the course. ACC's policy can be found in the Student Handbook page 33 or on the web at:



 

Statement on Academic Freedom

Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good. The common good depends upon a search for truth and upon free expression. In this course the professor and students shall strive to protect free inquiry and the open exchange of facts, ideas, and opinions. Students are free to take exception to views offered in this course and to reserve judgment about debatable issues. Grades will not be affected by personal views. With this freedom comes the responsibility of civility and a respect for a diversity of ideas and opinions. This means that students must take turns speaking, listen to others speak without interruption, and refrain from name-calling or other personal attacks.

 

Statement on Student Discipline

Classroom behavior should support and enhance learning. Behavior that disrupts the learning process will be dealt with appropriately, which may include having the

student leave class for the rest of that day. In serious cases, disruptive behavior may lead to a student being withdrawn from the class. ACC's policy on student

discipline can be found in the Student Handbook page 32 or on the web at:
