Mondays and Wednesdays 2:30pm - 4:25pm in 1S-218 |
Textbook: Stewart, Redlin, Watson, Precalculus, 6th Edition, Enhanced WebAssign Edition. Cengage Learning (2012). ISBN10: 1-133-59476-X. ISBN13: 978-1-133-59476-5. Available from the campus bookstore or online from the publisher (textbook or ebook). If you buy the textbook elsewhere, you will also need to buy the student access code for WebAssign (available separately online from the publisher).
Homework: Problems assigned from the textbook are listed on the syllabus. Any changes or additional assignments will be announced in class. Answers to odd-numbered exercises are in the back of the book. I highly recommend working jointly on homework problems with fellow students.
WebAssign: Computer-graded homework software that students are required to use in this course: WebAssign website. To sign up for our WebAssign section, click here and enter code: csi.cuny 9991 8465
Exams: There will be three in-class exams, Exam 1 on Monday, October 7, Exam 2 on Monday, November 4, and Exam 3 on Wednesday, December 4.
Grading: The course grade will be determined as follows: 18% WebAssign and quizzes + 54% Exams (18% each exam) + 28% Final Exam. The single lowest in-class exam score will be replaced by the final exam score if that improves your total score. Without exception, you must pass the exams to pass this course, and you must take the final exam at the time scheduled by the university.
Help: My office hours are on Mondays and Wednesdays 11-12:15pm in my office, 1S-209. Free math tutoring is available.
How to Study: (1.) Come to class (attendance is mandatory). (2.) Read the relevant sections after class. (3.) Do the homework. Leave yourself time to think about it! (4.) Come to office hours or the help room with any remaining questions. (5.) To study for a math exam, you must DO MORE PROBLEMS from past exams, homework and textbook.
