Course Rationale:  Welcome to Elementary Algebra. As with all developmental math courses, Elementary Algebra is designed to provide you with the mathematical foundation and personal confidence to enable you to use mathematics in your future life. This course is designed to prepare you for MATD 0390 (Intermediate Algebra) and the algebra-based courses that follow it. It also offers you one way to prepare for MATH 1332 (College Math, formerly Topics in Math), MATH 1342 (Elementary Statistics), and MATH 1333 (Math for Measurement) after you have passed the math portion of the state-approved test, like THEA or TCOMPASS.
Course Description (MATD 0370 Elementary Algebra):  A course designed to develop the skills and understanding contained in the first year of secondary school algebra. Topics include review of operations on real numbers, graphing linear equations, solving linear and quadratic equations, solving systems of linear equations, polynomials, factoring, and applications.
Course Objectives:  are posted at http://www.austincc.edu/mthdept2/tfcourses/obj0370.htm
and listed at the end of this document.
Instructional Methodology:  This course is taught in the classroom as an active learning lecture/discussion course with half the homework required on internet based MyMathLab software.
Attendance:  Attendance is required in this course. Students who have more than 4 absences most likely will be withdrawn. TSI-mandated students who have more than 4 absences will be withdrawn.
TSI Warning for students who are not TSI complete**
Students who are not TSI complete in math are not allowed to enroll in any course with a math skill requirement.
All students are required to be "continually in attendance" in order to remain enrolled in this course. If this is the only developmental course you are enrolled in, and you withdraw yourself from this course or are withdrawn by your instructor, then:
a) You may be withdrawn from courses that you should not be enrolled in, such as any class with a math skill requirement.
b) You will have a hold placed on your registration for the following semester. The Hold will require that you register for the next semester in person with an advisor or counselor and that you work with the Developmental Math Advisor during that semester.
c) You will continue to face more serious consequences, up to being restricted to only registering for developmental courses, until you complete the required developmental math course or satisfy the TSI requirement in another way.
More information can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/math/tsiwarning.htm.
** If you are unsure whether or not this warning applies to you, see an ACC advisor immediately.
Importance of Completing Developmental Course Requirements
The first steps to achieving any college academic goal are completing developmental course requirements and TSI requirements. The first priority for students who are required to take developmental courses must be the developmental courses. TSI rules state that students are allowed to take college credit courses, if they are fulfilling their developmental requirements. Because successful completion of developmental courses is so important, ACC will intervene with any student who is not successfully completing developmental requirements. This intervention can mean a hold on records, requiring developmental lab classes, working with the Dev Math Advisor, and monitoring during the semester.
 Additional information about ACC's mathematics curriculum and faculty is available on the Internet at http://www.austincc.edu/math/
Withdrawal Policy:  It is the student's responsibility to initiate all withdrawals in this course. The instructor may withdraw students for excessive absences more than 4  but makes no commitment to do this for the student. After the withdrawal date, neither the student nor the instructor may initiate a withdrawal. TSI-mandated students with excessive unexcused absences will be withdrawn. The withdrawal deadline is April 23, 2012.
Students who enroll for the third or subsequent time in a course taken since Fall, 2002, may be charged a higher tuition rate, for that course.  State law permits students to withdraw from no more than six courses during their entire undergraduate career at Texas public colleges or universities.  With certain exceptions, all course withdrawals automatically count towards this limit.  Details regarding this policy can be found in the ACC college catalog.
       Reinstatement Policy:  Students who withdrew or were withdrawn generally will not be reinstated unless they have completed all assigned course work, homework, and tests with a C average or higher as required of the rest of the class members.
       Incomplete grades (I) are given only in very rare circumstances. To qualify for an "I", a student must have completed almost all exams and assignments, have a passing grade of C or higher, and have a serious officially documented situation occur that prevents course completion after the withdrawal deadline.
In Progress grades (IP) are also rarely given. In order to earn an "IP" grade the student must remain in the course, be making satisfactory  weekly progress, turning in weekly homework, and not be meeting the standards set to earn the grade of C or better in the course without  excessive absences. Students who earn an IP grade must register and pay for the same course again to receive credit. Students who make a grade of IP should not go on to the next course with that grade.  A maximum of two IP grades can be awarded in any one course
Course Policies: 
Exam and missed exam policy:  Each of the 4 regular tests and the comprehensive departmental final exam count 100 points each for a total of 500 points.  Most will be given in class, but one may be in the testing center.  The final exam grade can replace one low or missing test grade so there is no make-up test if you must miss one test.  Try not to miss a test.  If you have an emergency and must miss a second test, you must provide Nancy with an official document from your doctor, hospital, or other official before taking a make-up test which must be taken within 3 days of the missed exam. See testing center guidelines for one exam, which may be given in an ACC Testing Center http://www.austincc.edu/testctr/
Homework both online and written on paper:  Total 75 points  
Spend at least 45 minutes on your homework for math every day of each week.   Ask questions about the homework problems that you struggled with, at the beginning of each class session.  Don’t spend more than 15 minutes on one homework problem without asking for help unless you want to.  Do the online homework before beginning the paper homework from the text when possible.  The written homework should be carefully completed with reasonable work shown to support answers.    Turn in your written on paper homework and submit the online homework each week on Thursday. You are responsible for checking your answers and asking for help with text problems that are challenging to understand.  Nancy Miller will check paper homework assignments for completeness and steps.  You check answers in back of text before you submit the work and correct or ask for help in ACC learning lab or Nancy Miller’s office or during or after class .   In order to receive full credit for homework, you must do all assigned online and written on paper problems and show steps on written homework after 1.7.  Please ask for help when you need it from Nancy Miller or classmates or the free learning lab at any ACC campus.  If you do not complete a paper homework assignment on time, you will receive a small amount of partial credit for your attempt.   Use the MyMathLab online quizzes to prepare for tests.
A minimum of 2 hours outside of class preparing for each hour of class is necessary for learning and understanding. This is almost 8 hours each week for homework outside of class.    I encourage you to plan to study with other students, if you can, for 2 of these 8 hours in study groups.
Late assignments:  If you turn in homework late, after the test, you will only receive 50% credit.  No late homework is accepted the last 2 weeks of class.
Weekly quizzes and group work:  Total 125 points   Daily quizzes will be given occasionally over recent homework concepts and skills. No make-up quizzes are given, but an extra one is offered in class during each semester. Your pre-test grade the first day of class will be one of these grades. You may retake the pre-test within the first week in the PIN testing center after you study, if you scored less than 70.  During the semester you will frequently be asked to work with others on group learning activities in class to be turned in the same day.
SI Study group may be offered for extra credit.   This extra credit is recommended for reaching success.  This must take place on campus with the SI study group leader.  Sign in each session that you attend and study math...Max 20 extra points.
Show respect for fellow students in this class; leave phones in car or  turn off pagers, phones, and other communication technology before class.  No phones out in class.
You may keep a math learning journal to turn in as an additional line of communication with Nancy C. Miller for a maximum of 10 points extra credit.  Ask Nancy for the model journal after the first week.

Grading Policy:  The total points you may earn for the semester from online and paper homework, quizzes, group learning activities, and tests will be 700 points.
    Grading scale                                                                                 
    Course..grade………Total.points                                                                                  
       A ……………………630-700 points and a minimum of 80 on the final exam
      B……………………560 points or more and a minimum of 70 on the final exam
      C ……………………490 points or more and a minimum of 60 on the final exam
      D …………….…..…420 points or more and a minimum of 50 on the final exam
      F …………….….….below 420 points or below 50 on the final exam
For example if a student earned 630 points and scored 75 on the final exam,  the student would earn a course grade of B because of the 75 on the final exam.

ACC Policies:
Statement on Scholastic Dishonesty  A student attending ACC assumes responsibility for conduct compatible with the mission of the college as an educational institution.  Students have the responsibility to submit coursework that is the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression.  Students must follow all instructions given by faculty or designated college representatives when taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, and evaluations.  Actions constituting scholastic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, collusion, and falsifying documents.    Penalties for scholastic dishonesty will depend upon the nature of the violation and may range from lowering a grade on one assignment to an “F” in the course and/or expulsion from the college.  See the Student Standards of Conduct and Disciplinary Process and other policies at http://www.austincc.edu/current/needtoknow 
Student Rights and Responsibilities  Students at the college have the rights accorded by the U.S. Constitution to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, petition, and association. These rights carry with them the responsibility to accord the same rights to others in the college community and not to interfere with or disrupt the educational process. Opportunity for students to examine and question pertinent data and assumptions of a given discipline, guided by the evidence of scholarly research, is appropriate in a learning environment. This concept is accompanied by an equally demanding concept of responsibility on the part of the student. As willing partners in learning, students must comply with college rules and procedures. 
Statement on Students with Disabilities  Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented disabilities.  Students with disabilities who need classroom, academic or other accommodations must request them through the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD).   Students are encouraged to request accommodations when they register for courses or at least three weeks before the start of the semester, otherwise the provision of accommodations may be delayed.  

Students who have received approval for accommodations from OSD for this course must provide the instructor with the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from OSD before accommodations will be provided.   Arrangements for academic accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from the student.    Students with approved accommodations are encouraged to submit the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ to the instructor at the beginning of the semester because a reasonable amount of time may be needed to prepare and arrange for the accommodations.      Additional information about the Office for Students with Disabilities is available at http://www.austincc.edu/support/osd/
Safety Statement  Austin Community College is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for study and work. You are expected to learn and comply with ACC environmental, health and safety procedures and agree to follow ACC safety policies. Additional information on these can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/ehs. Because some health and safety circumstances are beyond our control, we ask that you become familiar with the Emergency Procedures poster and Campus Safety Plan map in each classroom. Additional information about emergency procedures and how to sign up for ACC Emergency Alerts to be notified in the event of a serious emergency can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/emergency/.
Please note, you are expected to conduct yourself professionally with respect and courtesy to all. Anyone who thoughtlessly or intentionally jeopardizes the health or safety of another individual will be dismissed from the day’s activity, may be withdrawn from the class, and/or barred from attending future activities. 

Use of ACC email  All College e-mail communication to students will be sent solely to the student’s ACCmail account, with the expectation that such communications will be read in a timely fashion. ACC will send important information and will notify you of any college related emergencies using this account.  Students should only expect to receive email communication from their instructor using this account.  Likewise, students should use their ACCmail account when communicating with instructors and staff.  Instructions for activating an ACCmail account can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/accmail/index.php.

Testing Center Policy  Under certain circumstances, an instructor may have students take an examination in a testing center.  Students using the Academic Testing Center must govern themselves according to the Student Guide for Use of ACC Testing Centers and should read the entire guide before going to take the exam.  To request an exam, one must have:

Do NOT bring cell phones to the Testing Center.  Having your cell phone in the testing room, regardless of whether it is on or off, will revoke your testing privileges for the remainder of the semester.  ACC Testing Center policies can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/testctr/
