This course is designed to help students master the skills that they will need in order to be successful in College level Algebra. Students in this course will have a local final exam. 

Important Grading Information:

Students have a couple ways to make sure they pass the course.  First and foremost, I allow test corrections for 25% of their points back.  Many students have great test anxiety and really must take advantage of this opportunity.

Secondly are my Problem of the Week grades.  These are questions given out on Monday and due in class Friday that count as quizzes.  I will help with these, so students should try them early in the week and get help when needed.  Students should always get 100's on their POTW!

Grading Scheme

Tests count 50%
