only on tests), & Graph Paper. You will also keep your record of homework in your notebook with checks by your completed assignments
and circles around those you have turned in to me.
Prerequisite: C or better in Elementary Algebra (MATD 0370) at ACC, or
its equivalent knowledge shown on the course
pretest the first week of class.
COURSE RATIONALE: 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.
Course Description: A course designed to develop the concepts covered in the
second year of high school algebra. Topics include review of properties of real
numbers, functions, algebra of functions, inequalities, polynomials, factoring,
rational expressions and equations, radical expressions and equations,
quadratic functions and graphs, solving quadratic equations, and exponential
functions.
Course Objectives: They are in this
handout and posted at http://www.austincc.edu/mthdept2/tfcourses/obj0390.htm .
Instructional
Methodology: This course is taught in the classroom as an active
learning lecture/discussion course with half the homework required on internet
based computer software.
Attendance: Attendance is required in this course.
Students who have more than 4 absences
may be withdrawn. TSI-mandated students who
have more than 4 absences will be withdrawn.
TSI Warning for students who are not
yet 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 working on software schedule every
week in order to remain enrolled in this course. If this is the only
developmental class 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course or are withdrawn by your instructor, then:
a) You may be withdrawn from courses that you should not be enrolled in, such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.
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 Developmental
Math Advisor, and monitoring during the semester.
*Additional information about ACC's
mathematics curriculum and faculty is available on the Internet at: www.austincc.edu/math
Withdrawal Policy: It is the student's responsibility to initiate all
withdrawals in this course. The instructor is likely to withdraw students for
not showing progress each week, 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 not showing weekly progress or
with more than 4 absences will be withdrawn. The withdrawal deadline is
Reinstatement Policy: Students who withdrew or were withdrawn generally will not
be reinstated unless they have completed all course work, quizzes, and tests
necessary to place them at the same level of course completion and are showing
strong effort, as the rest of the class with a C average or higher.
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, 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 progress
weekly, turning in weekly homework, showing strong effort to learn, and not be meeting the standards set to earn
the grade of C or better in the course. 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.
Information about taking tests in
ACC’s Testing Centers is available at http://www.austincc.edu/testctr/. ·
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. They will be given in class unless we run short on time and
must take the last one 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
Homework
notebook: Spend
at least 45 minutes on your online or on paper 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 first for
each section after the class on that section, then do the written on paper
homework problems from the text for each section.
Half of your homework grade is
online homework to be done before written paper homework, which counts the
other half of your homework grade. For your MATD 0390 course do the text
assignments with steps shown in the list
provided by Nancy Miller. Homework should be turned in each Thursday. Getting your online and
written on paper homework done correctly with understanding is essential for
success in this course. Keep steps to
your online homework in your loose leaf math notebook along with your work on
optional online quizzes which help you prepare for tests.
The homework should be carefully completed with
understanding and reasonable work shown to support answers.
Turn in your paper homework each Thursday.
You are responsible for checking
your answers and asking for help with problems that are challenging to
understand. Nancy Miller will check on paper homework assignments for
completeness. In order to receive full credit for homework, you must do
all assigned problems and show reasonable work. Please ask for help if
you need it from Nancy Miller or classmates or the free learning lab at any ACC
campus or the publisher’s tutoring service. If you do not complete a
homework assignment, you will receive a small amount of partial credit for your
attempt……Homework counts for a total 75 points
Your textbook may be
paper or online. The textbook is divided into sections just like the software.
You should refer to the online muti-media text or paper text book when learning
content in each section, completing homework assignments, reviewing for tests,
or to prepare for the online optional Quizzes.
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 and test preparation outside of
class. I encourage you to plan to study with other students,
if you can, for 1-2 of these 8 hours in SI each week.
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: Weekly
quizzes will be given occasionally over recent homework concepts and skills. No
make-up quizzes are given, but an extra one is offered to everyone. 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
SI: Supplementary
Instruction will be offered for extra credit. This must take place on
campus with the class SI leader. Sign in each session and spend time
learning algebra..Max 20 extra points.
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 Miller
for your copy during the 3rd week.
Grading Policy: The total points you may
accumulate for the semester from homework (75 pts), quizzes & group
learning activities (125pts), and tests (500pts) will be 700 points.
Grading
scale
Course..grade………Total.points
A
…………………630-700 points with a minimum of 80 on the final exam
B………………….560-629 points with a minimum of 70 on the final exam
C
…………………490-559 points with a minimum of 60 on the final exam
D ……………..…420-489 points with a minimum of 50 on the final exam
F …………….….below 420 points
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.
Don't forget to take the online optional
quizzes before you take each major test.
Class Participation Expectation: Students participate every week by answering and asking questions or visiting or calling
Nancy Miller’s office during office hours.

Statement on Students with
Disabilities: Each ACC campus offers support services for students with
documented physical or psychological disabilities. Students with disabilities
must request reasonable accommodations through the Office of Students with
Disabilities on the campus where they expect to take the majority of their
classes. Students are encouraged to do this three weeks before the start of the
semester. Students who are requesting accommodation must provide the instructor
with a letter of accommodation from the Office
of Students with Disabilities (OSD)
at the beginning of the semester. Accommodations can only be made after the
instructor receives the letter of accommodation from OSD.
Statement on Scholastic Dishonesty:
Acts prohibited by the college for which discipline may be administered include
scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, cheating on an exam or
quiz, plagiarizing, and unauthorized collaboration with another in preparing
outside work. Academic work submitted by students shall be the result of their
thought, work, research or self-expression. Academic work is defined as, but
not limited to, tests, quizzes, whether taken electronically or on paper;
projects, either individual or group; classroom presentations; and homework.
Statement on Scholastic Dishonesty
Penalty: Students who violate the rules concerning scholastic dishonesty will
be assessed an academic penalty which the instructor determines is in keeping
with the seriousness of the offense. This academic penalty may range from a
grade penalty on the particular assignment to an overall grade penalty in the
course, including possibly an F in the course. ACC's policy can be found in the
Student Handbook page 33 or on the web at: http://www.austincc.edu/handbook
Statement on Academic Freedom:
Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good. The common
good depends upon a search for truth and upon free expression. In this course
the professor and students shall strive to protect free inquiry and the open
exchange of facts, ideas, and opinions. Students are free to take exception to
views offered in this course and to reserve judgment about debatable issues.
Grades will not be affected by personal views. With this freedom comes the
responsibility of civility and a respect for a diversity of ideas and opinions.
This means that students must take turns speaking, listen to others speak
without interruption, and refrain from name-calling or other personal attacks.
Statement on Student Discipline:
Classroom behavior should support and enhance learning. Behavior that disrupts
the learning process will be dealt with appropriately, which may include having
the student leave class for the rest of that day. In serious cases, disruptive
behavior may lead to a student being withdrawn from the class. ACC's policy on
student discipline can be found in the Student Handbook under Policies and
Procedures or on the web at: http://www.austincc.edu/handbook
Course-Specific Support Services:
ACC main campuses have Learning Labs which offer free first-come first-serve
tutoring in all mathematics and developmental mathematics courses. The
locations, contact information and hours of availability of the Learning Labs

Prerequisites for Calculus
There are two calculus sequences at
ACC (and at most colleges) -- Business Calculus and Calculus. The prerequisite
sequence is different for these. Depending on background, students may start
the prerequisite sequence at different places
Intermediate Algebra (MATD 0390)
followed by
College Algebra**(MATH 1314) followed by *Trigonometry (MATH 1316) followed by
Precalculus (MATH 2412) followed by Calculus I (MATH 2413) , followed by
Calculus II (MATH 2414) followed by Calculus III (MATH 2415)
or
Intermediate Algebra (MATD 0390) followed by Math for Bus & Eco or (MATH
1324) College Algebra
(MATH 1314) followed by Business Calculus I (MATH 1425) followed by Business
Calculus II (MATH 1426)
Where to start: The only way that
students may skip courses in a sequence is to begin higher in the sequence,
based on current knowledge of material from high school courses.
1. A student who needs a review of high school Algebra II will start in
Intermediate Algebra (or below.)
2. A student who completed high school Algebra II, but no higher, and whose
assessment test score indicates that he/she remembers that algebra, will start
in College Algebra or Math for Business & Economics. A substantially higher
assessment test score enables the student to start in Trigonometry.
3. A student who completed some precalculus, elementary analysis, or
trigonometry in high school, and whose assessment test score indicates that
he/she remembers algebra, is eligible to start higher in the sequence than
College Algebra. Check the catalog or the math web page or make an appointment
with your campus' assistant mathematics dept chairperson.***
* The material in the Trigonometry
course requires that students are quite adept with the skills from high school
Algebra II (Intermediate Algebra). Some students will achieve that level of
skill in the College Algebra course if their placement score is high enough,
while others need an additional semester of work on algebra that is done in two
courses, Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra.
** Some students who are very
successful in College Algebra are tempted to skip either Trigonometry or
Precalculus and enroll in Calculus I. That is not acceptable. Trigonometry
topics are essential to success in Calculus, and while it is true that the
topic list for Precalculus has only a few additions from the topic list for
College Algebra, the level of sophistication of the presentation and the
problems on all topics is greater in Precalculus. That increased sophistication
is necessary for an adequate background for the Calculus sequence. ***
Notes about the Business sequence:
Texas State University requires Math for Business and Economics and Business
Calculus I. Students who will attend the UT College of Business must complete
the entire Business Calculus sequence before transferring (contact them for
most recent information). For more information, including requirements for UT
economics students, see http://www.austincc.edu/mthdept2/notes/1425.html
*** For additional information,
including prerequisite review sheets for most courses, see

I will be
your encourager in learning mathematics this semester. I'm glad you are in my
class. Be sure to ask questions.
Show respect for your own goals
and for fellow students in this class; be sure to turn off pagers, technology, and phones before class,
except if you want to keep the multimedia text open to the assignment on which
we are working a problem.
