Welcome to Basic Math Skills. When you have successfully completed this course, you will be ready to go on to Elementary Algebra (MATD 0370) and you will be able to use mathematical thinking and skills in everyday circumstances. You will also have taken your first step towards preparing yourself for the THEA or TCOMP exam.

 

Time and Effort :  The only way for you to learn mathematics is by doing it.  Try to do some of your study time with other students or in the learning lab.  If you do not have 9-13 hours to spend on homework and study on this course, then you have overloaded yourself and will probably need to drop a course or two for this 8 week session or cut your work schedule.  If you are TSI mandated and not enrolled in another developmental course, then you may not drop this course.

 

I’m glad you are in my class.  I will help you learn mathematics.  To be successful, I’ll expect you to come to all classes, pay attention and participate, take notes, do 3-4 hours of homework between classes, and ask questions, since we will finish the course in 8 weeks.

 

Course Description (MATD 0330 BASIC MATH SKILLS): A course designed to develop basic arithmetic and algebra skills to prepare for courses covering secondary school algebra, the first of which is MATD 0370. Content includes operations on whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, ratio and proportions, percent, solving linear equations in one variable, applications, and relating simple algebra concepts to geometry.

Instructional Methodology:  This course is taught in the classroom as a lecture/discussion/active learning course.

 

Pre-test:  A pre-test will be given the first day of class to determine your strengths and weaknesses.  If you miss the day it is given in class, you will be asked to take it in Nancy’s office hours.  If you do very well, and think that you might belong in the next-higher level course, Elementary Algebra (MATD 0370), you should discuss this with your professor as soon as possible. In order to move up a level you will need to take the pre-test for MATD 0370 and earn 75% showing your steps without a calculator. A review for that pre-test is available on line at http://www.austincc.edu/math (or ask your professor for a copy.) This will help you prepare and also give you an idea of the material which we cover in this course (MATD 0330) that we will expect you to know as you begin MATD 0370. After looking at the review, you might decide that you actually need to stay in your current class. If, however, you are still interested in switching to the higher class and you will have time for it, arrange to take that Elementary Algebra Pre-test the first Wednesday.

 

Course Rationale:  The Basic Math Skills course is designed to be the first course in a 3-course sequence for Developmental Math.  The other two courses are Elementary Algebra and Intermediate Algebra.  Students who pass Basic Math Skills will have a solid foundation in arithmetic of rational

numbers, solving linear equations, and the beginnings of polynomial arithmetic.

Prerequisite: none

 

Course-Specific Support Services:  ACC main campuses have Learning Labs, which offer free first-come first-serve tutoring in mathematics courses. For more info about the Learning Labs, please visit the web site http://www.austincc.edu/tutor/

1.      Attendance and Expected Participation:  Attendance is required in this course.  Participate in the discussion and ask questions every class to understand and learn.  Expect to participate in group learning activities during almost every class.  Students who have more than 3 absences may be withdrawn.  TSI-mandated students who have more than 3 absences will be withdrawn.  If you must miss a class be sure to watch the video for the class you missed in the library (LRC) before the next class.

 

2.    TSI 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 TSI-mandated course you are taking.

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

 

  1. Withdrawal policy:  If you are thinking about withdrawing from this course, talk to Nancy Miller first.  She may have some helpful suggestions. Make sure that you understand the consequences. If you wish to withdraw and stop attending, it is your responsibility to formally withdraw from the class by filing the official form with the Admissions Office by Oct. 12, 2007. While your instructor has the right to withdraw you for more than 3 absences, or other reasons, she is not required to do so.  TSI-mandated students with excessive absences will be withdrawn.   After the withdrawal date, neither the student nor the instructor may initiate a withdrawal. The withdrawal date is Oct. 12, 2007.

 

  1. Homework notebook: The homework should be carefully completed with understanding and with reasonable work shown to support answers. Try to check every homework assignment with a classmate. At the end of each assignment, list problems you couldn't agree on and whom you discussed and checked with.  Homework is an essential part of the course. Doing homework is the way to learn and understand mathematics.  Turn in homework every week.. Nancy accepts late homework for partial credit. …………………………….Total 50points

 

  1. Daily quizzes and group work: Daily quizzes will be given occasionally over recent homework concepts and skills. No make-up quizzes are given, but two extra ones are offered to everyone. Your pre-test grade the first week of class counts 10 points on this grade.  During the semester you will frequently be asked to work with others on a learning activity in class. You will also be asked to work with a group of students outside of class when you can during the semester. …………………….………... Total 150 points

 

6.                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 during the last half of a class.  Exact dates will be announced in class in advance.  The final exam grade can replace one low or missing test grade so there is no need for a 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.  The final exam will be a departmental exam covering all topics given in class Oct. 19.  A review sheet will be provided.  You will be tested on material covered in the course that you must know if you are to continue your studies in mathematics.  Approximate dates are listed below in the weekly schedule…

                                                  100 points each….Total 500 points

 

The total points for your grade that you may accumulate for the semester will be 700 points.

7.      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

 

  1. Reinstatement Policy:  Students who withdrew or 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.

9.                Incomplete grades (I) are given only in very rare circumstances.  Generally, to qualify for a grade of "I", a student must have completed at least 80% of the course, including all exams, homework, and assignments, have a passing grade, and have a personal tragedy occur within the final 20% of the course which prevents course completion.

10.       In Progress grades (IP)  A student who is regularly attending, doing all assigned work but is still not earning a grade of C or higher, might be eligible for the IP (in progress) grade. An IP is a neutral grade with respect to the student’s GPA (it is not counted), but it might be treated like a W (non-completion) for the purposes of financial aid. Students who receive an IP grade are expected to retake (register and pay for) the course in the next semester they are enrolled at ACC.  Students may not receive more than 2 IPs in this course (or in any given developmental course.)

11.  Show respect for fellow students; be sure to turn off audible pagers and phones before class.

12.             You will also be asked to keep a math learning journal to turn in as an additional line of communication with me for extra credit.

13.             To support your academic success, at least 1 hour in the ACC Learning Lab working on mathematics is required for each student each week unless your last test grade was above 79. 

14.             I will be your encourager in learning mathematics this semester. I'm glad you are in my class. Be sure to ask questions.

 

15.             HELP: Learning Lab & Videos:  ACC offers free tutoring at main campuses in the Learning Labs.  In addition, computers with tutorial software for this course are available.  If you are having difficulty with the course, you should see a tutor or Nancy Miller at once.   The purpose of the lab is to provide students with extra help with math concepts, study skills, and homework.  The locations, contact information and hours of availability of the Learning Labs are posted at http://www.austincc.edu/tutor/   Also, videotapes that cover all topics can be checked out in the Learning Resource Centers (libraries).  Ask Nancy Miller if you need help finding them.  Be sure to watch the Blair Pre-algebra videos in the library that go with each section in the text for a preview or review of any classes if you need to.

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.

 

It is also recommended that instructors add the following:

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 that 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 under Policies and Procedures 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
