linear, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions; exponents and radical expressions; solutions of linear,
quadratic, rational, exponential and radical equations; inequalities and systems of linear equations and
inequalities; elementary probability and statistics; properties of circles; solid geometric shapes; area;
volume; and an introduction to trigonometry.

Instructional Format: Lecture presentations, dialogue, and discussions with question and answer sessions.

Thursday, Dec 17 4:10-6:10 pm CUMULATIVE FINAL EXAM (200 Pts

Student Evaluation System:
You will be expected to pre-read the textbook sections prior to class. Every other odd-numbered exercise
plus any others that may be required to achieve mastery should be completed as homework. If you choose
to be graded on a P/NC basis (P = 70+%), you need to notify me in writing no later than our third class
session (August 28th).

ABSOLUTELY NO MAKEUP tests will be given unless preparranged.
ANY CHEATING will result in a course grade of NC.

Bonus points will awarded on bonus quizzes ONLY during the class in which they are offered –
NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES. Your grade will be based on your test/quiz score performance using
the percentages as follows:

Participation 100 points   GRADES ARE WEIGHTED:
Test on Chapters 1-2 100 points 90% or more => A TESTS/QUIZZES 60%
Test on Chapters 3-4 100 points 80 – 89% => B HOMEWORK 35%
Test on Chapters 5-6 100 points 70-79% => C PARTICIPATION 5%
Test on Chapters 7-8 100 points 60-69% => D    
FINAL EXAM 200 points < 60% => NC    
Total 700 points + MANY other points for misc. quizzes, WebAssingn, and projects.

Attendance Policy:
Poor course performance has been linked to poor class attendance. Thus it is of utmost importance that you
make every effort to attend every class to ensure that you will fully understand all concepts as they are
explained. It is quite evident that I cannot possibly provide you with quality instruction if you are not
present.

Accomodations for Students with Special Needs:
Anoka Ramsey Community College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender,
sexual orientation, religion, age or disability in employment or in the provision of our services. Within the
first week of class, students with special needs that require accommodations should contact the Director of
Access Services at (763) 422-3459 to discuss possible support services. Extra help is available from the
Math Skills and Advising Center in L122 and also from the Academic Support Center.

Course Materials:

Textbooks: Intermediate Algebra 4th Edition by Tussy and Gustafson, 2009 AND
Connecting Geometry, 3rd Edition by Barbara Brown

Optional: Textbook Supplement: Student’s Solution Manual (Optional, but highly recommended.)

Supplies: A graphing calculator: TI-Nspire (TI-84+ or TI-84+ Silver Edition, or equivalent),
notebook, pencil, paper, 6”-12” ruler, protractor, and graph paper.

5-PART RECIPE FOR SUCCESS: REMEMBER TO USE:
1] Attend All Classes (1) Auditory Learning
2] Take Notes (2) Visual Learning
3] Complete the Homework (3) Kinesthetic Learning
4] Study for Tests and Quizzes  
5] Ask Questions Early
