2. Why take this course? For people who are looking to take calculus
Note that this is the math class that WILL be added into your GPA (unlike classes ≤ Math 100)
Thus the assumption is that if you’re here, you’re planning on going on to Math 130, a four-year school, etc
Math 120: Pre-Calculus 2!

3. Pre-reqs
Completion of MATH 110 or MATH with a grade of 2.0 or higher or placement by testing in MATH 120.
AND Completion of ENG 100 with a grade of or higher or placement by testing in ENG 101.
If you don’t meet these pre-reqs, but are somehow enrolled in the class, you will be administratively un-enrolled after this class.
If you know you don’t meet the pre-reqs, talk to me ASAP

11. Lectures and Homework Page
For the first two weeks: You must hand in the completed homework the lecture after the homework was assigned.
You must finish the HW by the beginning of the lecture
So you need to bring in the Week 1, Tuesday homework this Thursday.
We’ll try handing them in via the ‘Homework Box’, which I’ll leave out at the front of the room

Algebra & Trigonometry, 3rd Edition ISBN:
(If you use the 3rd edition, you’re responsible for making sure that you’re doing all the right homework problems, reading the right material, etc,etc)
Get this now!! You need this immediately, so don’t delay!!!
Best to do the reading before class
Try to bring the book to class
(Each group of people should bring at least 1 book amongst them)

15. Calculators
You’re required to have a graphing, scientific calculator for this class
Calculator rentals
In the Open Learning Center, 1st come, 1st served
Math 120: Pre-Calculus 2!

16. Calculators If you do buy a TI-83, 84, 86, 89, etc
Please donate your proof-of-purchase to the school
If you have a different, graphing, calc. (HP, etc)
I’ll try to help you with it, but your mileage may vary
Bringing the calculator’s manual to class will help
BRING YOUR CACLUATOR NEXT CLASS!
If it’s not a TI-83, bring the manual, too

18. No Cheating!
“In the event copying should occur, the plagiarist will receive a grade of zero for the assignment. If someone plagiarizes work a second time, that person will be given the option of either withdrawing (if the drop deadline hasn't been passed) or taking a "0.0" for the term.”
Examples of individual work:

Take-Home Exams

19. Behavior Rules Quiet while I’m lecturing
Whisper, if you talk at all
If you have trouble hearing me, sit towards the front
Work during In Class Exercise time
If you finish a problem, try the next one
If you finish everything, chose more problems on your own

22. Personal Data Sheet I’ll hand this out now
So I know something about you
If you don’t want to fill in a part, leave it blank
Send me an from an account you read
In the Subject, put the word “MATH 120”
(Note that there isn’t any space between MATH and 120)
This will allow me to you if class gets cancelled

23. Pairwise Interviews: Your Math History
Group up in pairs
A triple is ok, if there is an odd number of people
5 minutes to:
Introduce yourself – name, what brings you to Cascadia, what do you want to get from it, etc.
Ask about prior courses in math – when was the last time you took a course, what was it, how did you do, how do you feel about it, etc
Future goals: Where you want to go from here
Introduce your buddy, to your buddy
(i.e., make sure you don’t say anything that will embarrass the person  )
5 minutes to present your summary to another pair, and listen to their presentation.
Then I’ll call on some people to intro their buddy
Math 120: Pre-Calculus 2!

24. Save A Copy Of All Work!! In-class work, EXAMS, Quizzes, etc,etc
If you work with someone, make sure each of you gets a copy
For in-class work, you don’t have to hand it in
(I’ll be checking it as I walk around & watch you work)
If you lose track of it, and I mis-record it, then whatever I’ve got will stand as a grade
