I.        COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Introductory Algebra initiates development in students' ability to organize thought processes and systematically solve problems while preparing students for studies in other courses.  Course emphasis includes manipulation of variables, exponential applications, scientific notation, polynomials, factoring trinomials, solving equations, systems of equations and graphing quadratic equations.  This course is intended for students who havenot studied algebra but have a firm background in basic mathematics or whowish it as a review.


II.    COURSE MATERIALS:

Textbook:  Introductory Algebra, Ninth Edition, MarvinL. Bittinger, Addison Wesley, 2003.  ISBN 0-201-74631-X

Calculator:  A scientific calculator is required.  Note that calculators with symbolic manipulators (TI-89, TI-92, etc.) will not be allowed for testing.
   

III.    COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Students will demonstrate competency (score at least 73% for the course grade) over the following areas:
1.    Manipulating the real numbers and algebraic expressions.
2.    Solving equations and inequalities.
3.    Graphing equations.
4.    Polynomial operations including using exponents and scientific notation.
5.    Factoring polynomials.
6.    Manipulating rational expressions and solving rational equations.
7.    Linear graphs, slope, and applications.
8.    Solving systems of equations using substitution and elimination.
9.    Manipulating radical expressions and solving radical equations including the Pythagorean theorem.
10.  Quadratic equations including solving quadratic equations bycompleting the square and the quadratic formula.

V.        COURSE EVALUATION:


Suggested Homework:  Suggested homework assignments willbe given for each section that we cover; however, suggested homework willnot be collected nor graded.  Students are strongly encouraged to completethese assignments, as a successful grade in the course is unlikely withoutsuggested homework completion.

Assigned Homework:  Assigned homework will be given for eachsection that we cover.  These assignments will be no more than 10 questionsin length.  They will be collected and graded.  Note that you may continue to re-work a problem until it is solved correctly without lossof points.  Homework will be done entirely online, and will accountfor 20% of your final grade.

Quizzes:  No quizzes will be given in this course.

Discussions:  There will be weekly online discussions in this course.  Participation in these discussions is mandatory and will account for 5% of your final grade.

Exams:  There will be 5 semester exams and one optional final exam for this course.  Exams will be taken in the presence of an approved proctor (see Testing Information) on scheduled exam days.  No make-up exams will be given.  Your cumulative exam average will comprise 75% of your final grade. 
   
Final Exam:  The final exam is optional and willbe comprehensive.  Your final exam score will replace your lowest semesterexam score.  The final exam will be held in-class during the week ofMay 2.
