College Precalculus MAC 1140:  4 hours credit. Precalculus is an extension of College Algebra and is taught as a more traditional class with some online components (mainly homework).  Precalculus is a required prerequisite for Calculus I. Students are expected to read the text, take notes in class, complete homework assignments on time, and be prepared for quizzes and tests. I am available before school and after school for extra help if needed.  

Supplies: Pencil, paper, scientific calculator that is NOT a graphing calculator*, and a notebook or folder to keep notes and extra papers organized.  DESMOS and cell phone calculators are not allowed.

*There are a few times that students are allowed to use graphing calculators, but students are not required to have a graphing calculator.

Office Hours: I am available before school and after school for meetings or tutoring.  Please contact me by email or see me after class to schedule a time.

Calendar:  The tentative course calendar and syllabus are linked below.  The syllabus for all Precalculus classes contains the same information except for the time of day the class meets.

No Cell phone use during class unless approved by Mrs. Robertson!  As per Florida House Bill # CS/HB 379 Technology in K-12 Public Schools: "The bill prohibits students from using wireless communications devices at school during instructional time, except when expressly directed by a teacher solely for educational purposes and requires a teacher to designate an area for wireless communications devices during instructional time."  Our designated area will be a lock box located at the front of the classroom.  All cell phones or other electronic communication devices shall be placed in the lockbox upon entering the classroom and may be picked up at the end of the class period.
