Assignments
Assignment #1
Weekly Out-of-Class Assignments
MyLab Math is an online homework system that aligns with our course text. MLM assignments include both computational problems and questions related to videos of students explaining their thinking. If needed, you will have a study plan to improve your performance in the homework assigned.
Assignment #2
Participation & In-Class Activities
On Mondays and Wednesdays in class, you will discuss and analyze each chapter and answer questions critically and in-depth rather than just stating the answers from the chapter. Also, you must provide evidence and/or examples to reinforce your analysis.
Note: There is no make-up if you miss that day. Please check for Opt-Out for Chapter Tests and Make-Up Tests under Class Policies.
Assignment #3
Quizzes
You will take a quiz every two weeks on the chapters covered during that time. See the tentative quiz schedule at the end of this document
Assignment #4
Projects
This course includes three projects. I will post project details and rubrics on Blackboard.
