MATH 0033

BASIC MATHEMATICS

 

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

 

The student will perform basic computational skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percent and use those skills to solve applied problems.  The student will also solve measurement problems in both the English and the metric systems and introductory algebra problems using signed numbers and variables.

 

COURSE COMPETENCIES

 

On completion of this course, the student will be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers, fractions, decimals and percent, solve applied problems and solve introductory algebra problems.

 

GRADING POLICY AND PROCEDURES

 

Basic Math is graded on a passing (S) or not passing (U) basis.  To earn a grade of S for the course, the student must earn a score of 80% or higher on at least one test for each of Modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; and 11; and the student must earn a score of 70% or higher on at least one test for each of Modules 7, 8, 9 and 10.  If a grade of S is not earned, a grade of U will be recorded.

 

Retesting in Basic Math is allowed according to the following policy.  A student may take a test over a particular module two times. If the student is not successful after the second test, he may test a third time with the instructor's written permission.  After three unsuccessful attempts, the student should confer with the instructor.

 

OTHER GRADE DESIGNATIONS

 

W - (Official Withdrawal) Students may officially withdraw from a course until the end of the twelfth week of a sixteen-week semester (or 3/4 of the duration of a shorter course).

 

I - (Incomplete) An I is not an automatic option and is given ONLY at a professor's discretion in situations of extreme extenuating circumstances.  When an extreme extenuating circumstance arises, it is the student's responsibility to notify the professor immediately.  If an I grade is used, the professor establishes a contract with the student to specify the work which must be completed and the date for completion. 

 

 

 

 

 

An incomplete may be given at the end of the semester to Basic Math students who have completed the majority of the coursework.  In this case, an incomplete may be given at the professor’s discretion and if the following criteria are met: 

 

 

             (1)  Student has successfully completed (i.e. passed tests on) at least 8 of the 10

            modules, and

            (2)  Student has attended at least 80% of the scheduled class meetings.

 

The Incomplete period extends through late registration for the next major enrollment period.

At the end of the contracted period the professor will replace the I with the appropriate grade:  S or U.

 

RENROLLMENT IN BASIC MATH

 

If a student does not complete Basic Math, he may reenroll in the course.  He will receive credit for all tests passed in the previous course and begin “where he left off”.  The student must reenroll in Basic Math the next semester in order to carry forward previous test scores.

 

 

 MATH LAB

 

Students seeking assistance outside the classroom are encouraged to go to the Math Lab.  The Math Lab is located in the CLC Building.  Students are encouraged to use the Math Lab for:

 

·        Studying,

·        Asking questions of tutors ,

·        Viewing videotapes (Many mathematics courses have videotapes referenced directly to the textbooks.),

·        Listening to audio-tapes,

·        Accessing tutorial and mathematics software,

·        Accessing the Internet,

·        Checking work with solutions manuals,

·        Studying printed materials available for many mathematics courses,

·        Working on homework assignments

 

The hours of operation are tentative and likely to change around holidays and between semesters.  Check with your instructor to confirm hours.

ADDITIONAL COURSE MATERIALS

 

The additional course materials are listed below.  These materials are available for use in the Math Lab.

 

CALCULATOR

 

A scientific calculator that does fractions is recommended but not required.  A calculator may be checked out in the Math Lab for use in class.

 

 

VIDEOTAPE/DVD VIDEO TUTOR

 

The videotape series is available on videotape or on CD-ROM and is correlated section-by-section to the textbook.  Selected odd-numbered exercises from the text are presented.  Students are encouraged to work along with the video presenters and are given opportunity to solve a problem on their own before the solution to the problem is given.  The videotapes and DVD’s may be checked out for home use from the Library or used in the Math Lab.
