MATD 0370/0290 Information for Students

DEVELOPMENTAL MATHEMATICS MATD 0370 & 0290*

FAST TRACK COMBINED ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA & INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA

TEXT: Elementary & Intermediate Algebra for College Students. By Angel

Course objectives: http://www.austincc.edu/mthdept2/tfcourses/obj0390.htm

Calculators:  I encourage you to use a scientific calculator in this course and use is required for the study of exponential functions in particular.

Course Purpose: This fast track algebra course streamlines content for the purpose of moving adult students more quickly through developmental mathematics. The design is to improve retention and persistence of students, especially traditionally under-represented students. Throughout the course, problem solving and the concept of function are demonstrated and emphasized. Multiple representations of a problem are encouraged including verbal, symbolic, graphical, and numerical representations. The learning objectives for this course include: reasoning mathematically, communicating mathematically, and problem solving. The focus will be on using algebra to solve problems from the real world. This course is designed to prepare students for various college-level science and mathematics courses. After succeeding in this course, students may enroll in a number of courses in science, mathematics, and various technical areas. These include General College Physics, General Chemistry, Magnetism and DC Circuits, AC Circuits, Manufacturing Materials and Processes, Math for Business and Economics, and College Algebra.

PREREQUISITE: A in Basic Math Skills taken Spring 2000 or later or A in Pre-algebra recently at ACC or recommendation of instructor or equivalent knowledge, a mid-range score on the MATD 0370 placement test, or 75% on the pretest during the first week.

TASP Warning:  If you are relying on this course to meet a requirement that you be in mandatory remediation in mathematics this semester*, then:

i) if you are not "continually in attendance" in this course, you should be withdrawn from the course by your instructor,

ii) if you withdraw yourself from this course or are withdrawn by your instructor, you will be automatically withdrawn from all of your other college courses if this is the only TASP-mandated course you are taking.

* If you are unsure whether or not this warning applies to you, see an ACC advisor immediately.

Withdrawal policy: Make sure that you understand the consequences of withdrawing. If you wish to withdraw and stop attending, it is your responsibility to fill out the necessary paperwork. I have the right to withdraw you for lack of attendance, lack of progress toward the course objectives, failure to do required work in the course, or other reasons, but I might not to do so.

Reinstatement Policy: Students who were withdrawn generally will not be reinstated unless they have completed all course work, projects, and tests necessary to place them at the same level of course completion as the rest of the class.

 

Incomplete grades (I) are given only in very rare circumstances. Generally, to qualify for a grade of "I", a student must have completed 13 weeks of classes, including all exams, homework, and assignments, have a minimum of 70% grade average, and have a personal tragedy occur within the final three weeks which prevents course completion. Additional information about ACC's math curriculum and faculty is on the Internet at http://www.austincc.edu/math/

Outside of Class Help: ACC Learning Labs: You have access to free tutoring at most campuses and sites on a first come first served basis.

 Videotapes: These are available for viewing in the LRS or for check out.

Homework Assignments for MATD 0370/MATD 0290

The following homework assignments serve as the minimum amount that any student should complete for success in the course. Some students may work all of the odd numbered problems in all of the sections that are listed in the syllabus for success. Do what you need to do to develop a clear understanding of the topics covered in each section.
