| Guidelines |
Math 10 is a requirement for some academic disciplines. It also aims at developing students' skills in working with numerical, algebraic, and trigonometric expressions in preparation for Math 21. Students who intend to sign up for Math 19 following a precalculus course are encouraged to register for Math 9, which is less rigorous than Math 10. Course Expectation & Conduct: We shall cover most of Chapters 1 through 5 of the text. The purpose of our class meetings is to help you to obtain the core material that will allow you to learn through your own work outside the classroom. Therefore, an essential part of your {positive} learning process is to look for additional information from the library and other sources. The precalculus textbook assigned for Math 9 is highly recommended alongside the required textbook for Math 10. Quizzes will be given from time to time. Homework will be assigned using the "Enhanced WebAssign: Cengage Learning" system. To Register for the online homework, use the Class Key: uvm 4569 4154. Please note that the class key starts with an institution code, followed by two sets of four digits. All rules including student class conduct, cheating, attendance, etc. will be handled as required by the student code of conduct currently in effect. Should you miss a test due to illness or an emergency, you will be required to provide a note from your Dean's Office in order to be allowed to make-up on the tests. Students who require special accommodation must have a formal letter from Specialized Student Services and must also formally notify me of this need early in the term. Students with Special Needs: Students with documented learning disabilities are entitled by law to certain reasonable accommodations. If you have a documented reason for special accommodations, you must provide written evidence of this as soon as possible from the appropriate office. No accommodations can or will be given without the documentation. |
