CI Math Courses:

CI 0832 Algebra Review is designed to provide you with the algebra needed in order for you to be successful in a college level mathematics course. If you scored low on the mathematics placement exam, or if you have been away from algebra for some time, or if you are anxious about starting a college level mathematics course you should consider taking CI 0832. It covers order of operations, simplifying expressions, solving linear equations and inequalities, solving absolute value equations and inequalities, X-Y graphing, relations and functions, equations of lines, solving systems of linear equations, integer and rational exponents, factoring polynomials, simplifying rational expressions (fractions), solving rational equations, and simplifying radical expressions. If you earn a C or better you should be prepared to take as your next math course CI 1806 College Algebra Through Modeling, Math 1031 College Algebra, or Math 1051 Precalculus I, all of which satisfy the Mathematical Thinking Diversified Core portion of the Liberal Education requirements of the University of Minnesota. CI 0832 counts as four credits for the purposes of full-time status, athletic eligibility, and financial aid, but shows up as 0 graduation credits on the transcript.

CI 1806 College Algebra Through Modeling is a 3-credit course that focuses on using algebra to create, interpret, and apply mathematical models (equations and graphs) to real-world settings. This is basically a college algebra course (it is equivalent to Math 1031) but it is geared more toward applications of mathematics than theoretical mathematics. It covers applications of linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and logistic equations and some counting and probability. This course satisfies the Mathematical Thinking graduation requirement.

Course Prerequisites: If you have questions or concerns as to which mathematics course you should take, check out the document Which Math Course to Take on my web site, or talk to me. For CI 0832 I will assume that you have had algebra in high school and so know some of the basics, such as operations on signed numbers and solving simple equations.

Course Materials: The following are available at the bookstore. The bookstore hours may be found at www.bookstore.umn.edu or by calling 612-625-6000.

• MyMathLab eCourse for Trigsted/Gallaher/Bodden Intermediate Algebra Access Card Plus eText Reference, 2/E. The ISBN for the bundle is 9780321990501. This bundle contains the access code you will need to log on to the software and a printed copy of the textbook.

• Calculator A $15 scientific calculator is sufficient for this course. If you already have a graphing calculator it will be fine to use that but a scientific calculator is all you need.

CI 0832 Syllabus, page 2

Course Objectives: CI 0832 is designed to help you build the skills and understand the concepts of high school algebra so you can be successful in a college level mathematics course.

Pedagogy: To be successful you must take an active role in your own instruction. You will be responsible for learning the material and for getting help when you have questions. I will monitor your progress and, along with the free tutors (see below), will provide help as you need it.

The primary source of new material in this course will be multimedia software. The software will explain mathematical concepts and theory and show you procedures typically used to solve algebra problems. You will be interacting with the software for about 70% of each class period. The rest of the time you will be working individually on the solutions to problems, interacting one-on-one with me, and taking exams. During the class period I will provide you with individual help. This course is not self-paced; you must follow the schedule handed out in class for homework and exams.

Expectations: While in class you will be expected to make a good faith effort to learn the course material, follow directions given by me, and exhibit behaviors that will improve your chances for being successful. These behaviors include:

• Showing up for class on time and prepared. • Completing all assigned homework on time, with complete worked-out solutions. • Asking questions when you don't understand something. • Getting help outside of class from the tutors (see below). • Studying and working on math outside of class every day, seven days a week.

Course Difficulty: Although this course covers material typically found in high school algebra, the pace, difficulty, level of abstraction, and expectations are much higher. Instructors of other courses (higher math, science, economics, business, psychology, sociology) will expect you to be able to do algebra, especially those skills related to graphing, simplifying expressions, and solving equations.

Credits and Workload Expectations: One credit is designed to correspond to an average of 3 hours of learning effort per week necessary for an average student to achieve a C in the course. So, a student taking a 4 credit course that meets for 4 hours a week should expect to spend an additional 8 hours per week on coursework outside the classroom. This means that an average student can expect to spend about 12 hours per week on this course. If math is a difficult subject for you then you will have to spend more hours on it.

Study Space: There are lots of places on campus where you can study outside of class. A list may be found at the Study Space Finder https://studyspace.umn.edu/

Makeup Work: Each piece of work that will count in your course grade has a due date, which is listed on the schedule handed out in class. You must turn in your work by the dates listed.

Extra Credit: There are no opportunities for earning extra credit in this course. Your grade will be based solely on your scores on the homework and exams.

Getting help: Here are some resources that you may find useful:

• Get help from me: Email me for an appointment or drop by 128 Appleby Hall M-Th 1:25 to 3:00 or TuTh 9:05-10:30 through Thu 30 Apr 2020. Stop by any of those times to ask questions or to work.

• Get help on conflict resolution: The Student Conflict Resolution Center works with students to resolve campus-based problems and concerns. The services are free and confidential. http://www.sos.umn.edu/

Homework Problems: Practicing the skills you learn is of utmost importance. In order to be able to use mathematics you must become automatic at doing symbolic manipulation, such as simplifying expressions and solving equations. Like learning to dance, to play the piano, or to read, learning mathematics involves lots of memorization of what people before you have discovered and then you practicing it until it becomes second nature to you. As the problems become more complex and difficult you will have to perform basic operations and manipulations without thinking about them — they must be automatic. Homework is designed to get you to practice the skills.

Homework is assigned according to the schedule handed out in class. Be sure to do every assigned problem and to check every answer in the back of your textbook. Do more than the assigned problems if you are having difficulty with a particular topic. Doing mathematics is the only way you can learn it.

Homework ID Numbers: I will assign you a homework ID number (HWID) that will be used to identify your written work. Write this HWID on everything you turn in for grading. Your HWID is HWID.

Writing and Turning in Homework Assignments: A list of the problems you are to do and hand in for grading is listed on page 19 of this syllabus.

On lined notebook paper or graph paper, write out the solution to each assigned problem, and circle your answer. You will be graded on your written solution—not only your answer—so be sure to

SHOW YOUR WORK. You may write on both sides of the paper. Be sure to write clearly and large enough so that I can read it. I must process thousands papers during the semester and so I cannot spend time trying to figure out messy or unclear papers.

To hand in a homework assignment:

• Put the papers in order with the proper Homework Submission Form (see page 21 of this syllabus) on top.

• Staple the papers in the upper left corner.

• Hand the packet to me. At that time, pick up any graded work or handouts from me.

http://www.sos.umn.edu/


Homework Grading: To receive full credit for homework and exam problems, you must show the mathematical steps necessary to solve the problems. Your written work is meant to “communicate” to me what you know about math, not just the answers, so your work must be neat, organized, and complete. For each problem, be sure to check the answer so you can see if your procedure is correct.

Exams: Exams are designed to help determine how much algebra you know and can do. They help pinpoint those areas where you need to do additional study and they are a significant part of your final course grade, which is used to certify your level of accomplishment in algebra. You will take several 50-minute exams. See the schedule handed out in class for the specific dates and the lessons covered by each exam. The exams will be open book and notes and you may use a calculator.

Types of Exam Questions: Exams will contain 10 to 15 questions that ask you to apply what you have learned by carrying out mathematical operations in order to solve problems. I will not ask you to define specific terms or properties or to list specific procedures but you will need to know definitions, properties, and procedures in order to do the problems. For example, I might ask you to “Solve 2(x – 7) = –3x + 1.” You will have to know what the word “Solve” means in relation to an algebraic equation, and you will have to know the steps needed to solve an equation, and you will have to do it without making any errors. I will grade you mostly on how you solved the problem rather than on the answer. This means you must show all your work. If you simply write down the answer you will get 0 points for the problem, even if your answer is correct. If you show your work and make a simple arithmetic error (like + =2 2 5 ) you will get almost all of the

points for the problem. Your written solution to the above example should look like that shown on the right:

If you were to simply write down 3 for the answer and show little work you would get 0 points.

How to Study for and Write an Exam: An exam is intended to demonstrate what you have learned so I can give you a grade and so you can re-study those parts of the curriculum you have not yet mastered. To really find out what you know I would have to ask you at least two questions covering every topic and subtopic you studied. This is not possible because the exam would have hundreds of questions on it and it would take you hours to complete. So, I select a representative sample of what was covered and ask you to solve those problems. I select problems that are similar to the ones you did for homework. You will do well on the exams if you understand the concepts behind the homework problem solutions.

Here are some steps you should follow when preparing for an exam:

1. Faithfully go through the software. Carefully go through the worked examples so you understand them. Take written notes on what you do. Remember, the computer software takes the place of me lecturing so this is where you will learn the concepts and procedures you will need to solve homework and exam problems. It has plenty of videos and extra instruction that you can use as you see fit.

2. Complete and hand in every homework problem assigned. These are designed to give you practice at the skills and procedures I think are important. If you have questions, get help from the tutors or from me. If particular problems give you difficulty, work on them again and again until you can find their solutions quickly and accurately and you understand why you are doing what you are doing.

Writing formulas and procedures on 3 by 5 note cards is a great way to help you memorize them. These are easy to find in your textbook since they are in boxes with blue borders.

3. Pay particular attention to the exam reviews. I make up exams by choosing questions that are similar to those on the review. If you understand and can do the exam review questions you will be well prepared for the real exam.

4. The night before the exam, review your notes to be sure you have all the definitions, properties, formulas, and procedures memorized perfectly. Also, go through the exam review again to be sure you know how to do the problems quickly and accurately. Doing the review a second time is a great way to prepare for the exam. Then, get a good night’s sleep.

5. The morning of the exam, review your notes again and go over any exam review problems that gave you difficulty.

6. Show up to class on time and ask me for the exam when you are ready. Feel free to ask me any last minute questions before you take the exam.

7. If there are particular formulas that you have difficulty keeping straight, write them on the front of the exam as soon as you get it. Then, as you do the exam you can refer to those.

8. Read the exam questions carefully and be sure you understand what they are asking.

Write out complete solutions and show all the steps needed to solve each problem. The more you do in your head the more likely you are to make mistakes and the less partial credit you will earn.

Remember, I grade your entire solution and not just your final answer. The correct answer earns 0 points if it is not supported by the proper algebraic steps. I am not trying to measure how smart you are; I am trying to measure how much algebra you know and can do.

9. When you are finished, if there is time left, take a deep breath, relax for 15 seconds, and then go through the exam again. That is, cover up your original work, and do the problems again. This often catches careless errors like 2 + 3 = 6. Don’t rush out of the room—take advantage of the extra time.

10. When you get the graded exam back go over with me the problems you missed. You will need to know the material covered on the exam for later work and you will see similar problems on the final exam. Figuring out what you did wrong right after the exam is a good strategy for future success.

Ground Rules for Taking Exams:

• Ask me for the exam when you are ready.

• Exams are open books and notes.

• You may not leave the room or your seat until you turn in your exam.

• You may not ask questions, unless you think your exam paper is defective.

• You may not use your cell phone, talk to anyone, get help from anyone, or look at anybody else’s paper.

• Do all your work on the exam paper. If you absolutely need extra scratch paper ask me for some. You may not use your own scratch paper.

• When you finish the exam, bring it up to me.

Final Exam: The open book and notes final exam will be given on the date indicated on the schedule handed out in class. The exam will cover all the assigned course topics. If you miss the final exam a score of 0 will be recorded for you and this will seriously affect your final grade in the course.

Final Course Grades: The weights for the items that count in your final grade are as follows:

Homework counts 10%; Midterm Exams count 60%; Final counts 30%


Letter Grades: Letter grades are assigned as follows:

Grade Total Points needed A = 4.00 95 Represents achievement that is outstanding relative A– = 3.67 90 to the level necessary to meet course requirements.

B+ = 3.33 87 B = 3.00 83 Represents achievement that is significantly above B– = 2.67 80 the level necessary to meet course requirements.

C+ = 2.33 77 C = 2.00 73 Represents achievement that meets the course C– = 1.67 70 requirements in every respect.

D+ = 1.33 67 Represents achievement that is worthy of credit even though it fails to D = 1.00 65 meet fully the course requirements.

S none 70 Represents achievement that is satisfactory, i.e., meets or exceeds the course requirements in every respect.

F = 0.0 under 65 Represents a failure to meet course requirements. N = 0.0 under 70

Grades of Incomplete: Talk to me if your situation warrants consideration of this.

Next Math Course: About two-thirds of the way through the semester, please talk to me about which math course you should take next so you can register. This will be my best guess based on your work in the course to date, and it assumes that your performance for the rest of the course will be at least as good as your performance during the first two-thirds of the course.

Reports: Several times during the semester, progress reports will be emailed to your U of M Gmail account ([email protected]). If you use a different account, be sure to forward email from your U of M account to your preferred account. To do that log on to your U of M Gmail account, click gear icon (upper right corner) and select Settings.

Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.

Click Add a forwarding address and follow the directions.

Student Conduct: The University of Minnesota Student Conduct Code governs all activities in the University, including this course. Students who engage in behavior that disrupts the learning environment for others may be subject to disciplinary action under the Code. This includes any behavior that substantially or repeatedly interrupts either the instructor's ability to teach or student learning. The classroom extends to any setting where a student is engaged in work toward academic credit. Students responsible for such behavior may be asked to cancel their registration (or have their registration canceled).

Disability Accommodations: Reasonable accommodations will be provided for students with disabilities. The staff at Disability Resource Center will determine appropriate accommodations through consultation with the student. More information is available at https://diversity.umn.edu/disability/

Harassment: The U is committed to providing a safe climate for all students, faculty, and staff. All persons shall have equal access to its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, or sexual orientation. Reports of harassment are taken seriously, and help is available. Contact the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action, 419 Morrill Hall, 612-624-9547.

https://diversity.umn.edu/disability/


Complaints Regarding Teaching/Grading: Students with complaints about teaching or grading should first try to resolve the problem with the instructor involved. If no satisfactory resolution can be reached, students may then discuss the matter with the Chair of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction who will attempt to mediate. Failing an informal resolution, the Department Chair will facilitate the filing of a formal complaint.

Scholastic Dishonesty: This includes plagiarizing, cheating on assignments or exams, engaging in unauthorized collaboration on academic work, and taking, acquiring, or using test materials without faculty permission. Scholastic dishonesty in any portion of the academic work for a course shall be grounds for awarding a grade of F or N for the course.

Absence for Religious Observance: The University of Minnesota permits absences from class for participation in religious observances. Students who plan to miss class must:

1. Inform instructors of anticipated absences at the beginning of the semester. 2. Meet with instructors to reschedule any missed exams.

Mental Health Issues: Sometimes, coping with the stress of attending the University and dealing with your personal, family, and work life can be overwhelming. We each battle stress in different ways and most of the time we can make it through the tough spots without professional help. However, if you or a friend are having mental health issues that you cannot handle, you might want to take advantage of the services offered by the University through its mental health web site, http://www.mentalhealth.umn.edu/ This site is designed for students, parents, faculty, and staff who are looking for student mental health information and related resources at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities campus.

Classroom Activities

When you enter the classroom, sit at any computer and log in using your U of M Internet ID (the letters to the left of the @ in your email address) and then your email password. While the computer is booting, give me the homework that is due for that day and pick up graded papers. Begin working on the computer or homework problems, or ask me for an exam. Feel free to ask me any questions during class or before you take an exam.

First Day of Class

There will be a computer literacy class (CI 1871) meeting at the same time as your math class. I will address the computer literacy students first and then dismiss them so they can get their books and begin work on their first assignment. I will then give you an introduction to CI 0832 and show you how to access the software so you can get started right away.

Using your Access Code to Register for the Course

In order to use the software you must purchase an access code at the bookstore (it comes bundled with the textbook).
