Description.
This course is a continuation of Advanced Algebra B.
Successful completion of Advanced Algebra B is a must. In fact, students earning
less than a B in Advanced Algebra B will be hard pressed to pass this class
since you would not have sufficiently prepared yourself (feel free to prove me
wrong). Topics covered in class include chapters 1 through 4 of the textbook in
varying levels of detail. The class meets 5 times per week.
Objectives
1.Linear Relations and Functions.
2. System of Linear Equations and
Inequalities.
3. The Nature of
Graphs.
4. Polynomials and Rational
Functions
Evaluation.
Evaluation consists 4-8 class exams
and a comprehensive final test. There will be 12 - 20 quizzes , a few labs/ projects, and daily work
assignments collected every day or otherwise specified by a teacher.
The quarter grade will be determined by using the following weighted average:
30 % Daily
Work
30%
Quizzes/Labs/Projects
40% Tests
The semester grade will be determined by using the following weighted average:
45% of the first quarter
45% of the second quarter
10% of the final test
The final exam is a cumulative exam.

No extra credit will be given to individual students.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date.
You have responsibilities as a student. You must take tests when they are scheduled, turn work in on time, and provide quality work if you expect to receive full credit for an assignment. You should attend class regularly and pay attention while you are in a class as it's not a responsibility of the teacher to cover material multiple times to students skipping classes and not paying attention during class period.
