__Course Goals:__ Math is a complicated and diverse subject. The concepts are often very difficult to grasp. Math requires a new way of thinking. To do math, you need to be able to think logically. The goal of this class is to use math to help you think about the world in a different way. We will study several different types of equations and functions. We will study graphs of these functions and talk about their real world applications.

__Quarter Grades:__

Homework: (20%) Homework is the most critical part of learning math. Even if you understand a concept perfectly in class, if you do not practice, the concept will not remain in your memory. You will be assigned homework almost every day. I will give you time at the end of class to work on your homework and ask questions.

Quizzes: (20%) You will receive several quizzes per week. They will be short, 3-5 questions, and will commence as soon as class starts. If you have questions about the lesson, you need to have them answered before class begins. This means you need to begin your homework in class, and use all of your resources to make sure you understand the material before the next class period.

Tests: (50%) Tests will be given approximately once every two weeks. I will give a review the day before each test. The review will serve to remind you what you are expected to know, and provide class time to answer any questions you may have. Each test will be comprehensive. The test grade is almost half of your final grade. It is very important that you study hard, and make sure you understand how to do all of the homework problems.

Participation (10%) Active participation in class is expected everyday.

__Semester Grades__ : Each quarter is 40% of your final grade. Your final exam is 20%.
