Required Supplies
Scientific calculator, paper, pencil, and notebook.These course objectives and student learning outcomes will be assessed through the administration of a minimum of 3 in-class exams (65%), quizzes/homework (10%), and a comprehensive, departmental final exam (25%).
A - Student’s work is exceptional and consistently above average.
B - Student’s work is above average. Required assignments were completed in a timely manner and have met at least the minimum required standards.
C - Student’s work is acceptable. Majority of assignments meet the minimum required standards.
D - Student’s work fails to meet the minimum requirements for a grade of "C." Overall performance was sub-standard in comparison to normal expectations for this class.
F - Student’s work is clearly unacceptable. Student either did not attempt the work or failed to meet any of the minimum required standards.
To enroll in the next higher mathematics course that has a prerequisite, a student must earn a grade of C or better. A student could take the Compass test to also indicate competency for placement in a higher mathematics course.
