Topics
include Trigonometric functions, identities, conditional equations,
polar coordinates, vectors, polar graphs, complex numbers, and DeMoivre's theorem.
MAC 1105 with
a grade of C or higher or, for those with no prior college math
courses, a score of 50 or higher on the ALEKS
placement test. Students without this prerequisite will be dropped
from the course. Students may not receive credit for both this course
and MAC 1147/2147.

TEXTBOOK
(You have 2 options)
|
|
Option 1: Algebra
& Trigonometry, by Michael Sullivan, 9th Edition. If you
purchase this new (not used) from the FIU bookstore, it will come with
an access code for the MyLabsPlus online homework delivery site. ISBN
1256854727. If you do not purchase a book that includes a code for MyLabsPlus, you will have to purchase access to MyLabsPlus separately.
Option 2: If you are OK with not having a hard copy of
the text, you may purchase access to MyLabsPlus, which includes an
electronic copy of the text. ISBN 1256867543. The code can be purchased from the bookstore or online directly from MyLabsPlus with a credit card.

7.1-7.8, 8.1-8.7, 9.1-9.3, 10.1, 10.2, 1.3, 10.3, 10.4
Tests 1-3
will each be worth 20% of your grade, the MyLabsPlus homework will be 15% of
your grade and the cumulative final exam will be 25% of your grade. You
will still have to do the assigned offline homework from the text to be
adequately prepared for my tests. Offline homework is not turned in and
does not count towards your homework grade. For MyLabsPlus homework, please pay attention to the due dates listed on the MyLabsPlus web site. There are no extensions on
due dates; don't even ask! Don't wait until the day the homework is due
to do it, because if your Internet
connection goes out, you are out of luck.
After
rounding off your average to the nearest whole number, the following
grading scale will be applied: My
grading scale is as follows:
|
A
|
90+
|
B-
|
77-79
|
D
|
60-63
|
|
A-

I will NEVER "curve" grades
or drop your lowest grade. You are also expected to read the Discussion
Board each day for which you have an assignment and reply to the
messages, when appropriate.

ATTENDANCE
& TEST POLICIES
|
Attendance:
On test days, attendance is required. There are NO MAKEUP TESTS. If you
miss a test and, in the opinion of the instructor, the absence is
excusable, your final exam will count as two grades. If the absence is
not excusable, you will receive a zero on the test missed. Be prepared
to document your excuse with a traffic ticket, hospital bill, arrest
form, etc. A doctor's note is not acceptable unless it says "(student's
name) was unable to attend school on (date of test)." Tardiness is
permitted on test days without penalty although you will have less time
on the test than everyone else. If you are so late that someone has
already turned in their test before you arrive, you will not be allowed
to take the test. Important: If you see a note posted saying that a
test is canceled, make sure it is on FIU stationary and wait until the
starting time of class before leaving.
Required Materials: A cheap ($9-$20) scientific calculator is all
you need. THE CALCULATOR WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED ON THE THIRD TEST. Calculators of any kind are not permitted on test 1, test 2 and the final exam. If you are not sure how to tell if a calculator is scientific, it must
have a key labeled SIN to be scientific. The only scientific calculators that
you may not use are the Casio FX-82ES, FX-83ES, FX 85ES, Casio FX-115 (ES, MS, ES Plus or MS Plus), Casio FX-300
(ES, MS, ES Plus or MS Plus), Casio FX-350
(ES, MS, ES Plus or MS Plus), Casio FX-570ES, any Sharp Write View calculator, the HP SmartCalc 300s, the TI-36X Pro and the TI-30XS MultiView calculator. Graphing calculators and programmable calculators are not permitted. If you have to purchase a calculator, I recommend the TI-30XA. All
tests must be written using pencil.
Cell
phones:
Cell
phones must be turned
off during tests. The vibrate mode is not considered turned off.
Cellular phones must not be visible to you or me. If they are on your
belt, they are visible. If they are in your book bag or pocket, they
are not. Violations of this policy will result in you having to put the
cell phone in the hallway immediately outside the class. If you are
afraid it will be stolen, you may choose to leave with it, but you will
not be readmitted to the test and all unanswered test questions will be
marked wrong.
DROPS are not initiated by Prof.
Rosenthal. If you stop attending, you must drop this class yourself to
avoid a grade of F. The deadline for dropping classes with a grade of
DR is March 23.
EXTRA TUITION CHARGES FOR
REPEATED COURSES AND EXCESS HOURS: The Florida Legislature
has mandated a tuition surcharge for the third time a student either
takes or attempts a college credit course. This charge should serve as
additional motivation for you not to have to retake this course. In
other words, DO THE HOMEWORK!!!!!
Includes (but is not limited to) giving or receiving assistance on a
test, quiz, or homework assignment for which such assistance is not
permitted, falsifying a document to obtain an excusal from a test,
having another person use a phony ID to take a test for you, and using
unauthorized notes on a test or quiz. A more complete definition of
Academic Misconduct is given here.
Penalties for Academic Misconduct range from an F in the course to
expulsion from the university.
