TELEPHONE: 562-860-2451 ext 2696 E-mail: gchalmers@cerritos.edu TEXT: Sullivan/Sullivan, Trigonometry, 3rd edition, Prentice-Hall PREREQUISITE: Intermediate Algebra with a 'C' or better, and Geometry with a 'C' or better. GRADE: See general course information. Back to Chalmers home page. |
| You may be required to access course information, such as homework assignments, etc., on-line. Practice test questions found in a syllabus are in PDF format. To view them download the Adobe Acrobat® Reader at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html |
| CALCULATOR: A TI-83/84Plus or a TI-86 graphing calculator is required. |
| Friday,
April 22, 2005*, is the last day to withdraw from the class and
receive a W. I cannot assign a W grade after the deadline.*. If you cease to attend, withdraw through Admissions and Records, to avoid getting an F. |
| HELP:
See me in my office, SB28. It is a good idea to form study groups outside
of class. Enroll in Math 9T, a 0 unit class attended as needed. Go to the Learning Resource Center in the lower level of the east side of the library building. Ask questions during the lecture. Before each lecture you can ask questions about textbook problems and examples. |
| HOMEWORK (HW) & GROUPWORK (GW): Plan to spend eight or more hours per week outside of class reading, doing assignments and attending tutorial classes. Unless otherwise stated, the default selection for practice HW is every sixth problem starting with #1, from the exercises at the end of each section in a chapter. These should be completed by the due dates below, and may have to be turned in. HW to be turned in may include other problems. Work must be shown to get credit. For HW and GW ten percent of the value of the work will be deducted for each class late. No late work will be accepted after WED. May 4, 2005. Students must read the textbook, including examples, and work additional problems as needed. |
| The schedule below is only approximate. DATES, TOPICS AND TESTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. (*Dates determined by admissions office - you must confirm these with that office.) Sections below are from the 2nd edition. They will gradually be revised. |
