Online Trigonometry, MAC1114

MAC 1114 Trigonometry Online

Brian Thomasson

This website is intended as an introduction to the online course MAC1114 and will lead you through logging on to the course website, hosted by MyMathLab. As the semester gets underway, most announcements, grades, coursework etc, will be posted on the course website. You should log on to the MyMathLab website by the third day of classes. If you have any problems, you may contact me (email is probably the most efficient way) or you may want to contact the Student Support Service run by MyMathLab:

Book (Trigonometry--11th edition--Lial, Hornsby, Schneider, Daniels)

You can get a new book from the bookstore that will include (at no extra charge) the required password to access the material online. Another option is to get a used book and purchase the password to access the material online for a fee of about $100 (this can be purchased online with a credit card or at the bookstore). A third option is to buy the password only (the book can be accessed online). You must have a password to take the class, and the only way to get one is to purchase it.

Accessing the course material:

Go to http://pearsonmylabandmastering.com/ and click on "Student" under the heading Register. You'll need the course code:

Course Objectives: To give you the opportunity to learn mathematical tools which can be used to systematically improve the quality of your work and personal lives, now and in the future.

Grading Scheme: There will be 8 quizzes, equally weighted, totaling 50% of your grade. There is also approximately 35 homework sections, equally weighted, totaling 20% of your grade. The remaining 30% will come from the two proctored tests.

Grading Scale:

A: 90-100

B: 80-89

C: 70-79

D: 60-69

F: below 60

FN: failure due to significant absence

I: Will only be given in rare extraordinary circumstances. To be considered for an “I” grade a student must be passing the course with at least a C and have completed at least 70% of the course work. The student must have exceptional attendance in the class and a serious circumstance must exist which will keep the student from fulfilling course requirements on time

Final grades will not be sent to you. You will get your final grade by going on-line to Artemis.

Make Ups: Tests are made up for school functions, medical reasons, computer system failures, and/or emergency reasons only. An appropriate written excuse (a doctor’s note, etc.) is required to be sent within three days after a missed test. Contact must be made ( bthomass@fscj.edu ) within 48 hours after a missed test for a make up to be given. Homework and quizzes can be done (up until April 24) after the due date without penalty but I highly recommend doing the assignments by the due dates.
