Weekly Class Schedule and Assignments: (detailed form)

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.
