Information for Students*  page 1 of 1

2002-2003

Required Materials: 

Right Triangle Trigonometry, Maricopa modules, Houghton-Mifflin

Elementary Mathematical Models, Kalman, Mathematical Association of America

Handout on variation

Scientific Calculator with trig functions

Course objectives: http://www.austincc.edu/mthdept2/tfcourses/obj1333.htm

Prerequisite: A passing score on the mathematics portion of the TASP test or a satisfactory score on the ACC Mathematics Assessment Test (COMPASS) or MATD 0360 with a C or better.

Course Purpose: This course is designed to introduce topics of right-triangle geometry, statistics, and mathematical modeling for students who won't take higher-level mathematics courses.   It satisfies the Core Curriculum requirement for mathematics.

Calendar:

Your instructor will give you a handout with details about the calendar and grading and testing policies.  Some tests may be in the ACC Testing Center.  <http://www.austincc.edu/testctr/>

Attendance is required in this course. Students who miss more than 5 hours of classes may be withdrawn. After the withdrawal date each semester, neither the student nor the instructor may initiate a withdrawal. It is the student's responsibility to initiate all withdrawals in this course. The instructor may withdraw students for excessive absences or failure to meet course objectives but makes no commitment to do this for the student.

Incomplete grades (I) will be given only in very rare circumstances. Generally, to receive a grade of I, a student must have taken all examinations, be passing, and have a personal tragedy occur after the last date to withdraw which prevents course completion.

Tutoring is available for this course in the ACC walk-in Learning Lab. <http://www.austincc.edu/rvslab/ll.html>
