12) Cell Phones and Text Messaging: When cell phones go off in class, it is truly annoying not only to your fellow students but to your instructor as well. Turn them off! And any one caught text messaging really does not want to be in class and faces being dropped immediately! Every student who was texting in class during the last session did not earn an A, B, or C. Go figure!

13) Attendance Policy: I am expecting that you will attend every class session because at every class meeting we will cover important concepts and applications. If you are absent more than four times, you may be withdrawn from the class. If you are absent for a class session, you do not need to contact me. If you are going to be absent for an extended period of time because of illness or causes beyond your control, you can easily leave me a message on my SMC voice mail (310) 434-4728 or e-mail me at [email protected] to let me know what is happening. I usually do not call or write back because I know I will see you when you return to class.

14) Withdrawal Policy: The deadline to drop and get a complete refund is Thursday, February 25th. The last day to drop and avoid a W is Monday, March 8th. The last time to drop and get a guaranteed W is Sunday, April 11 th. The last time you can drop and get a W is Sunday, May 9th, and this can only be done with my approval and under extenuating circumstances. Really at the half-way point in the class after 8 weeks are completed, you need to make up your mind whether you are going to go the “W” route. 15) Grades: Your spring semester grade will be determined as follows:

A) Your 5 exams are worth 60% of your grade or 600 points.B) Your final exam is worth 28% of your grade or 280 points.C) Your cooperative learning events are worth 2% of your grade or 20 points.D) Your homework is worth 10% of your grade or 100 points.E) Thus, at the end of the spring you could have a total of 1,000 points.

16) How your final grade is determined in June is according to your final total:A) If your total is 895 points or more, (89.5% or more), you will earn an A.B) If your total is 795 to 894 points (79.5% to 89.4%), you will earn a B.C) If your total is 695 to 794 points (69.5% to 79.4%), you will earn a C.D) If your total is 0 to 694 points (0% to 69.4%), you will earn a D.

17) Additional Information about Grades: Because I consider homework so critical to your learning mathematics, if you do not complete and submit the majority of it, the highest grade you will be able to receive no matter how many points you have earned will be a D. Furthermore, if you fail the final (less than 50%) your grade will be a D no matter what your point total.

18) Homework: As mentioned above, homework is critical to your learning Intermediate Algebra. You are expected to work on the sections taught in class as soon after they are taught as possible. You will collect your homework assignments and turn them in as a package the day of each exam. 5 homework packages and the practice final will be collected. You should do your homework packages as completely and as accurately as possible always attempting to do your very best quality work. Recall that the homework packages are worth 10% of your grade or 100 points.

19) More about Homework:A) Use pencil rather than pen to do your homework packages so you can take

advantage of the eraser!B) The first page of your homework package must be the Table of Contents of that

particular homework package. You should Xerox the following package lists and check off the assignments you completed. You MUST number your pages of your package LIKE ANY BOOK so that it is easy for me to find your various assignments.

C) Show all your work. Answers alone are unacceptable and your homework package will be returned un-graded if you simply submit just the answers. If your work looks like all you did was copy from the solutions manual, your work will be un-graded as well. The solutions manual is a tool to help you learn and should not be misused.

D) Clearly mark each homework assignment that you complete at the top of the page so that you can turn in your work in an organized fashion from the first assignment in the package to the last. For example, after the table of contents in the first package, put the assignments from sections 1.3 and 1.5. Any extra credits would be at the end of the homework package in the order listed in the Table of Contents.

E) When you start a new assignment, use a new piece of paper. Use both sides of the paper to save our forests!

F) Work top down in an orderly fashion showing your steps. Try to arrange your work so that anyone else could easily understand what you are trying to do. Note your final answer to each problem.

G) The answers to all problems assigned other than a few can be found at the back of the book. Use it as a resource to check your work for accuracy and if you find you have an error, try the problem again. If you are still having trouble, get assistance in the math lab or from a friend or family member.

H) Turn in your homework package in a folder with your name clearly written on the Table Of Contents. The folder should easily open and the Table Of Contents should be the first page I see. Please do not use the type of folder where all of the pages have to be taken out of the folder for me to see them.

I) Submit only one homework package in a folder and take out any homework packages that have been previously graded.

20) Helpful Hints To Be Successful in Math 20: A) Attend class on a regular basis. Statistics prove that students who attend class on

a regularly have much greater success since learning mathematics is a step- by- step process. Every time you miss class, you are missing vital information that will make it difficult to grasp later mathematical concepts.

B) Be involved in the class. Math is not a spectator sport! Be an active listener and take good notes, writing down key ideas and examples that are presented. Ask questions when you are unclear about different mathematical ideas.

C) Preview new material. Before going to class, look over the sections your instructor is going to explain the next day. This will help you have some idea what is to come and allow you to consider possible questions you might wish to raise in class.

D) Take time to do your homework and do it soon after it has been explained. Mathematics can be a lot of fun when you understand what you are doing!

E) Stay up with the class. When you get behind in a math class, disaster is sure to happen!

F) Make friends in class. Classmates can make great study partners, take notes for you when you miss class and encourage you when you may be struggling. In fact, studies indicate people who work together to learn mathematics usually are more successful.

G) Seek assistance. Sometimes, even when you attend class regularly, take careful notes, study your textbook and do all the homework, you still find that you do not understand certain concepts. If this happens visit your instructor during his office hours for help or go to the math lab to get help from an instructional assistant or tutor. Sometimes a different approach from an outside source may help clarify concepts you may be having difficulty understanding.

H) Be neat, accurate and well organized. You should always attempt to do quality work on all homework packages and exams.

I) Never give up! An interesting characteristic of learning mathematics is that at one moment you may be totally confused, and then suddenly the light bulb goes on and you understand the material! Some mathematical ideas take awhile to digest and you might find after a few days of working some of the problems related to those ideas that they actually do make sense!

J) Prepare for your exams. In math courses, your show whether you know the material on exams. Study for exams by doing any practice exams provided by your instructor.

K) Congratulate yourself when you learn new material! As you learn new concepts, point out to yourself what you have learned so that your confidence in your mathematical ability will increase.
