Course Description

10

The course covers discussion on wide range of topics necessary to

meet the demands of college mathematics. The course discussion
starts with algebraic equations and inequalities in one variable and
their applications, then progresses to ratio, proportion and
variation, systems of linear and non-linear equations and
inequalities, functions and relations, polynomial functions, and
sequence and series.

10. Opportunities to Develop Lifelong Learning Skill

The primary Leaming Outaome for this course to develop lifelong leaming skill is the Student's Quantitative Reasoning,
whici is to unclerstand and apply ttre rnathematical principles in Algebra that wilt provide snrdents with the needed working
knowledge of mathematical concepts and methods, and an awareness of their relationship to increasingly complex world.

instructional materials and leaming in this course. If a student is caught cheating on an exam, he or she
rvill be given zero mark tbr the exam. If a student is caught chcating twice, the shrdent rvi1l be refened to
the preiect of Student Affairs and be given a failing grade. Grave misconduct other than cheating will
likewise be given a failing grade.

Consrltation Schedule

consultation schedules with the Pfofessor are posted outside the Math Faculty loom and in the School's
web-page (httplLlrt4puffdlLp|l). It is recommended that the student first set an appointment to confirm
the instructor's availability.
