Course Description: This introductory arithmetic course is designed to develop number and operation       sense using whole numbers, fractions, and percents, as well as develop problem-solving skills. Topics include writing whole numbers and decimals in various forms, estimation, ratios, proportions, and applications.

Note: Students enrolled in this course are required to participate in individual and group activities.

Objectives and Methods of Evaluation:

1. Course objectives (list the major objectives stated as student outcomes in behaviorally measurable terms.)

1. Read and write whole numbers and decimal numbers in standard, expanded, and written form.
2. Order a given set of numbers.
3. Use the order of operations to add, subtract, multiply and exponentiate whole numbers, fractions and decimals.
4. Use rounding techniques to estimate results of operations on whole numbers, fractions and decimals.
5. Use divisibility tests and prime factorization to reduce fractions to lowest terms and perform operations on fractions.
6. Convert rational numbers into decimals, fractions and percentages.
7. Solve various application problems requiring the use of ratios, proportions, and percentages.

Attendance:   Attendance will be taken every class session.  Students with three consecutive or total of  five absences will be dropped from the class!  Any student who misses two exams will be dropped from the class.  Students are responsible for any material/announcements missed in class         regardless of their presence including being aware of your status in the class.  You are expected to be present on time at all class meetings and to actively participate!

You are expected to be at all class meetings on time!! Taken this class seriously is the first step to your success. 

                     Withdrawal from the class through the Admissions Office is the student’s responsibility. If you have any concerns regarding your attendance, please contact me immediately via email, telephone or during my office hours.  It is your responsibility to drop yourself.

Class work:     You will often be given class work and it may be collected at any time during class. No makeup work is possible for missed class work.

Notebook:       Your notebook containing only worked out on-line homework and quizzes will be collected periodically.

Quizzes:           There will be on-line and in class quizzes. There are no make-ups on quizzes. The work you do to complete online quizzes should be neatly written in your notebook together with the assignment title and the grade you earned. Notebooks will be collected periodically. No late quizzes will be given but the 5 lowest on-line quizzes will be dropped automatically.

Exams:            There will be four exams and a comprehensive final at the end of the 16 weeks semester.  All four exams will be worth 50% of your grade and the final worth 25% of your grade.  No make-up exams will be given but your final exam will only replace one missed exam.  Contact me immediately if you miss an exam. Students who miss more than one exam will be dropped from the class.  Tentative exam dates are noted on the Class Schedule at the end of this syllabus.

Students with Special Needs: Any student who feels that he or she may qualify for accommodations for any type of disability, please see me immediately with the proper documentation.

Keys to success:  It is expected that students spend a minimum of at least two hours outside of class for  each hour spent in class.  Spending more time on material from class and explaining concepts to other students in class is an excellent way of achieving success. Active participation is very important.  Ask questions, answer questions, talk to other students in class, form study groups outside of class, and always remember to ponder beyond what  we discuss in class!  Next, remember to keep an open mind.  A big part of learning andunderstanding mathematics is believing that you are capable of succeeding.  Always remember to have fun!! 

Students will be assessed through class participation, their performance on exams, quizzes, and assignments.  The completion of the assignments will prepare you for each quiz/exam.  You are expected to complete each assignment by the next class meeting so that you are ready to ask questions in class.  You should see me for assistance as soon as an exercise is not understood, but not without first seriously attempting to do the problem on your own.  It is highly recommended that you also take advantage of the various tutoring services offered on campus.  It is your own responsibility to have an interest in your education!

I look forward to a fun Spring of 2008!
