MAC 1114 SYLLABUS – FALL 2002
PLANE TRIGONOMETRY
CATALOG
DESCRIPTION:
This course deals with the solution of triangles, trigonometric
relations, functions of an angle, logarithms, and complex numbers. Prerequisite:
MAC 1105 or consent of department. A "C" or higher must be earned to advance to a
higher level course or to use this course as part of the general education
requirement in mathematics. 3
semester hours credit.
It should be noted that MAC 1114 does not contain all of the essential
skills needed for the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST).
It is recommended that students take MGF 2118, the CLAST Skills review,
during the semester in which the CLAST is taken.
TEXT: Trigonometry

REQUIRED
MATERIALS:
Throughout
the semester we will use both the computational and graphing functions of a
graphing calculator. I will be
using a TI-83 for class demonstrations. Students
should bring a calculator to class every day.

GRADE
DISTRIBUTION:
5 Unit Exams - 5/6 of the semester grade
Final Exam -
1/6 of the semester grade
MATH
LAB:
Free tutoring is available in the Math Lab, along with a variety of video
tapes and reference materials. Lab
hours will be posted on the lab door.
TESTING AND GRADING POLICIES:
Five one hour announced tests will be given during the semester, which
will account for 5/6 of the student's semester grade.
If a student misses one announced test for a substantiated, excused
reason, the grade on the final exam will be used to replace the missing test
grade. If a student misses a second test for a substantiated,
excused reason, a make‑up test may be taken.
The make up exam will cover the same material as the test missed, but
will not be the same test. Arrangements
to take the make up test must be made the day the student returns to the campus,
and must be taken within one week of return to campus.
A student will be allowed ONLY one make up exam per semester.
A cumulative final exam must be taken to pass the course, and will
account for 1/6 of the student's semester grade.
Warning:
Failure to take a make up test by the end of the final examination
period, or failure to take the final exam, will result in an automatic zero for
the missed test.
EXTRA CREDIT:
A student that completes all assigned homework and
attends all classes prior to each test will earn three extra points on each of
the five one‑hour announced tests. To
receive credit for homework assignments they must be complete, all work must be
shown, and they must be turned in the day of the exam.
To receive credit for attendance, the student must be in class the entire
class period. Tardies and early
departures will be counted as absences unless prior explanation is given.
A student absent for an official college activity will not be penalized
as long as all homework is completed on time.
The final exam grade may be used to replace the lowest unit test grade
during the semester.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS:
Computer
software and video tapes are available in the Math Lab
which can provide further explanations and practice for some topics
covered in this course.
CLASS ATTENDANCE:
Chipola Board policy: Regular
attendance is expected of all students. Each
student is accountable to the instructor concerned for all class absences except
those resulting from official college activities.
Students who are absent from classes for any reason other than official
college activities must satisfy the instructor concerned that the absence was
due to illness or other clearly unavoidable reasons.
Otherwise, the student may suffer grade loss at the discretion of the
instructor.
Math Department policy: Any
student who accumulates more than 10 absences will automatically fail this
course. An appeal may be made to an
appeal committee. This appeal may
or may not be approved.
STATE
REQUIREMENTS/REGULATIONS:
Each student is allowed a maximum of three attempts to pass any given
course and will be charged full cost of instruction (equivalent to out-of-state
tuition rates) on the third attempt. If
you have made any previous attempts at this course, please discuss this with the
instructor. Be aware that a withdrawal from a course (including
administrative withdrawal) is considered an attempt.
