COURSE DESCRIPTION: Three hours lecture, two hours lab per week. Test scores and/or past performance indicate a need for training in the

basic skills of arithmetic and algebra. Topics include operations with integers, fractions, decimals and percent,

geometric figures and their measures, and pre-algebra topics including properties of rational numbers, operations of

rational numbers, simplification of polynomials and equations solving techniques. Additional special fees are required.

Course performance standards are available at www.scf.edu/pages/1160.asp and in the Math Lab.

LAB PARTICIPATION: As part of this course, you are required to register for MAT 0012L. In order to successfully complete the lab

requirement, you must do the following:

1. You must attend a one-hour meeting with you lab instructor each week at the time and location designated in your

schedule for MAT 0012L.

2. You must spend one hour per week studying, doing homework, receiving tutoring, etc. in the Academic Resource

Center.

Your participation in both components of the lab requirement will be monitored and count towards your final grade. TEXT: Prealgebra by Elayn Martin-Gay, 5th edition (required)

MATERIALS: A scientific calculator is required. It is allowed during exams as directed by the instructor but will be used in

conjunction with chapters 5, 6, 7, and 9 only. The final exam has two parts – one portion allows the calculator and

the other portion does not allow a calculator. ADDITIONAL MATERIALS: Student Solutions manual available in the bookstore. This manual contains solutions to odd numbered exercises at the

end of each section and to all exercises in the review and tests in the text. Instructional software (MyMathLab) with

access to supplemental homework problems, solutions to homework problems and video lectures is available in the

bookstore. Your instructor will determine if MyMathLab is required for your section. Your section may require that

all students use the supplemental software (such as MyMathLab). If your instructor requires the software, it must

be purchased by the end of the first week of classes. EXAMINATIONS: There will be five exams and a required comprehensive, departmental final examination given in class during the

scheduled final exam period. NO MAKE-UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN. GRADING: Your grade in the course is determined by the percentage of points earned during the semester. A grade of 70% or

better must be earned on the final exam in order to pass the course.

POINTS SCALE 5 Chapter Tests 500 94 – 100% = A

Assigned Math Lab 150 85 – 93% = B

Open Math Lab 75 75 – 84% = C

Quizzes/Participation/Projects/Homework* 100-200 0 - 74%=No Pass

Final Exam (cumulative) + 200 Below 70% on final exam = No Pass

TOTAL 1025-1125

*Instructor will choose composition of these points.

ATTENDANCE: All late arrivals, early departures and absences must be discussed and cleared with the instructor. More than 3 hours of

unexcused absences or excessive tardiness may result in your withdrawal from the course. WITHDRAWAL: In accordance with the State College of Florida policy, as stated in the college catalog, students may withdraw from

any course, or all courses, without academic penalty, by the withdrawal deadline listed in the State College of Florida

academic calendar. This semester, the withdrawal date is Thursday, March 25, 2010. Students should take

responsibility to initiate the withdrawal procedure but are strongly encouraged to talk with their instructors before

taking any withdrawal action. In addition, students should note that faculty may also withdraw students for violating

policies, procedures or conditions of the class, as outlined in individual class syllabi, and such action could affect

financial aid eligibility.

ELECTRONICS POLICY: Cell phone etiquette must be observed: In-class usage is restricted to emergency situations. Cell phones are not

allowed to be used during tests, not even as a calculator. Inform the instructor before class of any extenuating

circumstances. Electronic devices, such as iPods, Blackberries, etc. are not permitted to be used or worn in class.

MISCONDUCT: Students are required to adhere to statements regarding student misconduct outlined in official State College of Florida

publications including the Catalog and the Student Handbook. The minimal consequence of failure to adhere to these

statements is withdrawal from the course.
