MATD 0370 Elementary Algebra
Academic Systems Interactive Mathematics

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.

NOTE:  All assignments are from your textbook (PAN - "Personal Academic Notebook") unless otherwise indicated. Do the textbook Practice test before you try the online Evaluate quiz for any section.

You should do the homework assigned here from your book and not the book homework suggested in the software. If the page and/or problem numbers do not seem to be matching those in your book, it is possible you have an earlier version of the book. If so, please contact the ACC bookstore where you bought it to find out what to do.

Review for Comprehensive Final Exam

Handout

All

  

Dec. 5 - Dec. 9: Comprehensive Final Exam (covers everything)

After you have finished all of the above work with a score of at least 80 on each quiz, you should take the test in the Testing Center you requested on the Orientation Form, Part 2 during these dates. Don't forget to send me your homework (including the test review and extra homework sets) as soon as you finish the test (no later than the test deadline above). 

Notice the earlier deadline on this test. Due to the deadline for submitting final grades, you may not take this test late. ( If you are taking your exam at the Fredericsksburg, Round Rock, or San Marcos Center Testing Centers, you must take your Final Exam on the first possible day they are open during the exam period.)

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 through Friday, December 12. (I'm sorry, but this is not possible at any other Testing Center, due to logistics.)

Dec. 15

All homework, test reviews, etc., must reach me absolutely no later than this date for you to receive credit for it.

*Exercise Set Handouts are required materials for the course.
