MATH-1150-ES31&ES33

Welcome to the home page for sections ES31 and ES33 of MATH-1150 (College Algebra) at Southeast Community College in the Spring term of 2012. I am Toby Bartels, the instructor.

Administration

Here are some useful links for the administration of the course:

Contact information (to get in touch with me);
Tutoring information (for outside help);
Grading (how the class is graded);
Schedule (the material that we'll cover);
Downloading help (if you have trouble reading some of the files here);
Your current grade (on Moodle, where you must log in):
- MWF section,
- TT section.

Assignments

If you miss a homework assignment, then you can find it here. Eventually the solutions to most quizzes and exams will show up here too.

Attendance (taken every day);
Homework (assigned nearly every day);
Quizzes (given nearly every day):
- MWF section,
- TT section;
Exams (April 30 or May 1 and June 4 or 5).

Although only quizzes and exams contribute directly to your grade, attendance and homework are also important.

Resources

The official textbook for the course is the 9th Edition of Algebra & Trigonometry published by Prentice-Hall (Pearson). You should be able to get this at the bookstore, and the homework problems will come from it.

I also have some notes for lectures, hand-outs, and so forth. If you missed class, then you might be able to find a substitute here. But there is no guarantee that everything will show up!
