MATH 1314 College Algebra
This weekly schedule and schedule of tests is to help you pace yourself so that you may take your tests on time and complete the course during the semester. You may work ahead of this schedule and finish early if you like (though remember that you must ask me at least a week in advance if you want to take a test early). If you get behind, you must contact me.
Answers to odd-numbered homework problems and to all Chapter Reviews can be found if you click on "Videos and Textbook" and scroll to the bottom of the page, where it says "Selected Answers". Then click on the chapters you are working on.

Dec 14 | All homework, test reviews, etc., must reach me absolutely no later than this date for you to receive credit for it (no exceptions). |
You must take each test at your designated ACC testing center during the dates it is scheduled to be available. Visit http://www.austincc.edu/testctr/ for information about testing center locations, policies and procedures. Remember that:
Important note about the final exam:
You will notice that the deadline for the final exam is kind of early compared to the other exams. This is because I have an absolute deadline when I have to turn in your final grades for the course and I have to allow time for the final exams to get to me from the Testing Centers. If you really need a few more days to take the final, you may contact me in advance to request that I put the test in the Northridge Testing Center for you for a few extra days. (I'm sorry, but this is not possible at any other Testing Center, due to logistics.)
